Cunningham Will Race Canadian 1000 Meters Second Invasion of North; Ed Hall Is Entered in Two Sprints
Glenn Cunningham will have another mark at which to shoot when he runs the 1000 meters tonight at Hamilton, Ontario, in the Canadian championships.
The Jayhawker, accompanied by his teammate, Ed Hall, is taking in this race after breaking the world's record for the indoor mile at New York Saturday. He was running in the mile Saturday of this week at the Butler Rolls, Indianapolis, Ind.
Last year, Cunningham successfully invaded Canada, winning a two-mile run at Toronto and an 880-yard race at Hamilton.
Hall will compete in two races tonight, the 40 and the 60-yard dash. He ran in the 60-yard sprint at New York last Saturday, but failed to place. The world's record was tied by Jesse Owens in the event.
The 1000 meters is not often run. Cunningham was scheduled to run it at Hamilton last year, but he entered the 880 instead. The Kansan holds the world's record in the 1500 meters and his speed and endurance may serve to establish a new record in the shorter distance.
Dr. Allen Makes Replies To Notre Dame Coach
(Continued from page 1)
strate before the coaches assembles, the style of each particular section: the University of Pittsburgh, University of Kentucky, University of Kansas and Illinois Wesleyan were invited, as the four representative teams. The University of Kansas found it impossible to attend because the Big Six rules forbid it, and because the boys would miss too much time from school after their strenuous basketball season."
Coach Allen explained that there were a few college or university courts which would not allow a 12-foot basket height. The new auditorium and gymnasia are constructed with very high ceilings. An extra 3 feet on the width of a basketball court would be required to be able out, saying that many college and university courts that are played on are very much less than 50 feet wide.
Would Eliminate Pivot Play
He also stated that unless the baskets are raised the proposed three points for a field goal would not be considered. By raising the basket this rule would technically kill the pivot post play in which the tall man stations himself out in front of the basket for a spinner shot.
Would Eliminate Pivot Play The Kansas coach express a belief that the raising of the basket to a height of 12 feet would less funfouls (52 per cent of games are now on free throws) and would properly evaluate and equalize a field goal over a free throw. The pivot play play would be done away with and a small, fast offensive player would have greater advantage than he now enjoys around the basket.
For several years Kansas had has had 12-foot baskets installed at the ends of the court and the players after practicing on the 12-foot baskets, find their loop shots on the 10-foot basket are more easily executed.
Summing up the suggestions that he will present to the coaches meeting for their consideration, and further to the rules' body, Coach Allen listed the following:
1. Raise baskets to a height of 12 feet.
Purpose: to equalize the scoring chances of short and tall players and to clear up the congestion under basket; to reduce the great number of fouls that are now made by players driving in for lay-up who are fouled by the guards on this play. This will idea-rearmments from shots will fall further into the court, making it impossible for big, powerful games to block out the opponents coming into the basket.
2. To increase width of court to maximum of 56 feet instead of 50 feet as
Purpose: a blow against the so-called zone defense, and an attempt to make possible fewer out of bound balls. A team in possession of the ball can more easily manipulate a play from the side of the basket than from in front and into the basket with a 6 feet additional of floor space on the side.
To Lessen Out-of-Bounds
3. Mesh foam blocks 4 to 6 feet
inside the end line.
Purpose: by raising the basket 2 feet the backboard will be elevated so that the backboard and basket will not interfere with passes from back of the board into the court. This will also lessen out-of-bounds plays. Many shots which have been missed, heretofore could be recovered and play continued. This would make more sustained action and continuous play.
4. Increase the field goal to three points, leaving the free throw at one point, and the four personal fouls rule as it is.
5. Prohibit the pivot post man from shooting at the basket while he is in
the free throw lane with his back to
the basket. Allow him to handle ball
in the free throw area with the three
second restriction as now.
6. Take no time out for substitutions in the last minute of each half as is the case of the football rules. This permits substitutions but prevents a coach taking excessive time out to beat the purpose of the rule by creating unnecessary delay.
7. A minimum circumference of $29\frac{1}{2}$ inches for a basketball. The rule now states it shall not be less than 30, nor more than 31. Because of the fact that such a change might work a hardship on the ball manufacturers it would be inadvisable to rush such a rule through. Most players favor a ball because it is easier for the ball to impair, and fits the hands of the average player, and goals and more easily made.
8. Further co-operation by the coaches and athletic authorities toward the restriction of the "boo-boo" by the spectators at basketball games.
Sigma Chi emerged victorious in its annual basketball game with Beta Theta Pi last night, by coming from behind to win 21-16. The contest marked the final appearance of both teams for the season.
Sigma Chi's Win Annual Cage Game From Beta's
Fast Play Ending in Score of 21-16 Marks End of Conflict
After catching up with the Betas at 10-10, the Sigma Chima temporarily lost that position, but forged ahead in the final four minutes of play. Embry and Case, opposing centers, matched goals at the start of the last half and after Reed made a set up, Quigley and Johnson made good their free throw tries to tie the score. McCormick dropped through a charity tilt to again give the Betas an advantage which was short lived as Johnson found the rim from the
The Betas were out in front at the half 8-4, after Benson had connected for two long goals with Case and Horn each adding one basket. This quartet of goals came after the Sigma Chi chi-tet had moved out into the lead on Sturgeon's drive in and Quigley's one-handed score.
With half of the last period gone, the offensive acts of both quintets were evenly matched. Stotts tailed on a set up, but Quigley made a similar basket a few seconds later. McCormick tied the score from the free throw line for the final Beta bid. Embry split the netting with two baskets after Johnson has committed out in front of the McCormick team. McCormick's side was good, but Lemma placed the Sigma Chi team abrupt by five points with a field goal at the finish.
