New Rule Interpreted for Big Six Coaches
Chairman of Basketball Committee Settles Discussion
An interpretation of the "three-sec-ron" rule in basketball has been received by Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the Big Six Coaches, from Oswald Tower, of the Joint Basketball committee, and editor of the rules. The interpretation arose as a result of discussion of the rule by Big Six coaches at their recent meeting in Kansas City.
The rule provides that a pivot player in the free-throw lane, must make a try for the basket, or pass to another player within three seconds, under penalty of the ball going to the opposing team. The coaches asked if the passing of the ball to a teammate permitted the second player to hold the ball for another three seconds.
Mr. Tower ruled that the 3 second player must make reasonable effort to dispose of the ball promptly. In other words, if the first player held the ball two and a fraction seconds, the second player would have at least the remaining fraction of a second, and a little more if necessary to complete the play. If the three seconds were practically exhausted when the second player received the ball, and then held the ball or feinted passes to other teammates, the three-second rule would apply.
The coaches at their meeting disclosed to each other the particular make of ball they were using, and it was agreed that a laced ball, inflated to 13 pounds pressure should be used in all games.
By agreement, too, scorers of Big Six basketball games are directed to place three squares following each player's name, marking numbers 1, 2, and 3, in the squares to indicate how many times that player has entered the game. (New rules this year permit a player to be withdrawn and returned twice instead of once.)
The coaches agreed also to continue the rule of last year that prior to each game the respective coaches shall designate the nine men who are to play for that contest. The rule was made to obviate the necessity of taking large squads in order to meet the competition of the large home team.
Paul Hudson, of Washington, Was on 1890 Grid Squad
Alumnus Found by Team
The trip of the University football team to Washington, brought to light a member of the first Kansas football team, thought by his teammates to be dead. When the first football team of 1890, held a reunion four years ago, Paul Hudson, a substitute quarterback, was absent. None of his teammates had heard about him, and the alumni office had no record of his career, so they thought that he must be deceased. But far from it! He is now a sports writer on the Washington Herald.
Before the George Washington-Kansas University game, Hudson met a present quarterback of the team, Dick Weaver, on the middle of the gridiron, where a little ceremony was held, and Hudson wished the Kansas football team success in the approaching contest.
Hudson attended the University in 1889-90, and 1890-91. The first year he was a sub-freshman. In comparing the football equipment of his team and the modern team, in an article in the Herald, he said that the first team looked ready to represent a seminist college. They had no protective accoutrements, and their only shock absorber was a shaggy mop of hair.
Hudson believes that intersectional contests are highly commendable as influences which make for better sport and greater national solidarity.

'Time' Lauds Cunningham
Well Known Magazine Names Kansan
'Sportman of the Year'
Time magazine calls Glenn Cunningham "the Sportman of the Year." In the latest issue of Time, Jan. 8, an account of Cunningham's achievements appears along with his picture, trophy, grin, and all.
In telling of the Sullivan award, Time says "The Sullivan committee found that Cunningham 'proved himself a good sportsman in running two races every meet and sometimes three against leading European middle-distance champions. He could have refused and would have been justified in doing so . . ."
The article goes on to say that the balloting that gave him the Sullivan medal was closer than many races he had won from Benton from Princeton by one vote.
Cunningham was yesterday elected track captain at the University for the 1933 season.
Wrestling Interest Grows
Boxing Returns Also Show Increase Under Athletic Commission Supervision
Since supervision of wrestling, as well as boxing, has been added to the luties of the Kansas athletic commission, receipts have more than doubled, while expenses have increased but 13 per cent.
This results from the shift in popular interest from boxing to wrestling, said Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the commission, in making public an auditor's report for the past two and a half years' work on the new executive secretary of the commission.
Receipts of the commission for 1932 were $3899, while those for 1933 were $4840. Mr. Gillece reported to the commission that on Feb. 1, 1933, the balance on hand was but $10, but by Dec. 31, 1933, it was $195.
November and December, 1633, were the most active months in the past three years, and activities promise to be great. Gillesse informed the commission.

Other members of the commission are M. F. Ahron of Kansas State College, and F. G. Welch of Kansas State Teachers' College.
Revenues of the commission arise from a state tax of 5 per cent on the gross receipts of all boxing and wrestling matches, and license fees paid by contestants, organizations, managers referees, physicians, seconds and time keepers, with minor income from forfeits and fines.
Ten per cent of the commission's revenues go, by law, to the state treasury. In the nearly 10 years of the commission's existence, revenue thus accruing to the state has totalled $5,871.94

Women's Intramurals
--the "windy day" rule, proposed before the American Football Coaches association at Chicago, meets with empathic disapproval from Adrian Lindsey, head coach at the University of Kansas. He terms the proposal an attempt of publicity seeking coaches to suggest "something new."
The future schedule for the women's intramural basketball games has been posted and is as follows: Jan. 9, 8 o'clock, Delta Zeta vs. Gamma Phi Beta Kappa Kappa Gaemia vs. Watkins hall, 9, Corbin hall vs. I.W.W., IND. vs. TNAN, 11, 8, Alpha Delta Pi vs. Sigma Kappa, Chi Omega vs. Pi Beta Phi; 9, Kappa Alpha Theta vs. Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi vs. Alpha Chi Omega.
Jan. 16, 8, Chi Omega vs. Alpha Gamma Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta vs. Pi Beta Phi; 9, Kappa Kappa Gamma vs. Gamma Pha Beta, Delta Zeta vs. Watkins hall; Jan. 19, 8, Kappa Kappa Gamma vs. Delta Zeta, Gamma Pha Beta vs. Watkins hall; 9, I.W.W. vs. ETC, TNT, or Corbin hall.
Corbin hall forfeited its basketball game last night to ETC, giving that team a score of 2 to 0. The players appearing for ETC were: Hoover, Babcock, Marble, Lawson, Crosier, Waples, Bice and Brown.
The Independent team played I.W.W. winning from them by 25 to 11 which was somewhat of a surprise since the I.W.W. team has long been considered the strongest team playing. The Independent lineup was: Armstrong, Mary Irwin, Scoggins, Davis, Mildred Irwin, Moxley and Shoemaker. Those playing on the I.W.W. team were: Pyle, Boman, Tavlor, Baker, and Hunter.
Alpha Chi Omega won from Alpha Delta pi by 30 to 15. The Alpha Chi team consisted of: Gant, Butler, Horn, Lawrence, and Harvey. The Alpha Delta pi players were: Teagarden, Kerr, Tinnel, Arnold, Tuttle and Wyatt.
Sixteen to six was the score in favor of Alpha Omicron Pi, in their game last night against Sigma Kappa. The players of the winning team were Massman, Wesley, Pyle, Lippitt, Beamer, Hinshaw, and Jackson. The Sigma Kappa team consisted of: Daniels, Neff, Smith, Westfall, Doctor, and Richtert.

Lindsey Dislikes New Rules
Bethany, Mo.—(UP) —A group or CWA workmen near here quarrying limestone tore away four feet of a rock ledge and in a wide crevice in the rock found 22 snakes, knotted together in three bunches for the long winter sleep.
Snakes Found in Quarry
Says "Windy Day" Proposal Is Ad vanced by Publicity-Seeking Coaches
"If a game is scheduled, it ought to be played," said Lindsey, on his return from the coaches' meeting. "You have to adhere adverse weather out of the game."
Under the proposed rule, a team within its own 20-yard line, and facing a stiff wind, might elect to relinquish the ball 25 yards down the field.
Another proposal disapproved by Coach Lindsey was one permitting a team to throw incomplete passes into the end zone without penalty except on the fourth down. Under the present rule, an incomplete pass into the end zone is a touchback, and the ball is returned to the 20-yard line, and given the defending team. He said he thought it might be all right to relax the rule somewhat if the offensive team passed from within five yards of the goal, but otherwise, the proposed rule would give the offense too much advantage.
Coach Lindsey saw no objection to, and no distinct advantage in the proposal to adopt the professional football rule of permitting forward passes from any point behind the line of scrimmage instead of from at least five yards back, as now.
"Such a rule would make it necessary to change the pass defense play a little," he said. "In the main, though, it would work out that a passer working toward the line of scrimmage would be so rushed by an aggressive team that he could not pick out a pass receiver.
Coach Lindsey never has been in favor of the current rules which declare a fumbled ball dead at the point of recovery, and stop the play if a player so much as touches his knee to the ground.
The proposal to bring the ball in 15 yards instead of 10 from the sidelines, would not greatly affect Kansas play, the coach said.
The December, 1933, issue of the American Economic Review contains three book reviews written by Kansas faculty members, as follows: Heymant's "New Aspect of the Oil Problem," by John Ise; Daggett's "Railroad Consolidation West of the Mississippi River," by D. J. Tevioldia; and Neifeld's, "The Personal Finance Business," by J. H.aggart.
McPherson — (UP) A civil works highway project costing $75,000 has been approved for McPherson county providing work for 131 unemployed men from now until Feb. 15, 1984. One hundred and thirty-seven miles of highways will be surfaced with sand or rock. The work will be done under the direction of County Engineer Guy Hall.

Elton Carter Leads Scoring With Total of Twenty-
one Points
Led by a brilliant exhibition of shooting by Elton Carter, enlarged center, who caged 10 field goals and a free throw, the Collegegians stayed at the top of Division 1, tied with Sigma Nu, last night by trouncing Acacia 43-14. In the other game of the evening Phi Chi defeated Chi Delta Sigma 23-12.
The Collegian triumph was the fourth of the season. After the opening points were tullied by Simpson, Carter started to ring baskets with regularity and the quarter score was 10-0. At the half the margin had increased to 25-6, but in the third period Acacia outplayed the victors and closed the difference to 29-11. Smurr and Schrey did theCollegians in the last half, while Morris, Chapman and West scored for Acacia.
In a roug battle marked by 15 fouls, Phi Chi took an early lead and coasted through the second half to almost double the score on Chi Delta Sigma. Munson, Phi Chi forward, started a scoring attack in the opening quarter and continued it to the half at which time his team mates had helped him run the score to 12-5. The close guarding of both teams added nine fouls in the last two sessions.
