But, nevertheless, that was the score last night at Elk Alleys as Team No. 7 nosed out Team No. 5 in one of the openers of the Elks new mixed bowling competi- tion. The first game found Team No. 1, thanks greatly to Martin Lav- enik's 607 effort, trimming Team No. 3, 1426 to 1358. The finals/ went to Team No. 11 in another | close one; a 17361-1301 decision| over Team No. 9. i There will be no league bowling tonight.

It's a case of changes, changes and more changes—mind you, not necessar- fly improvements. ‘Take any sport and think of the changes that have been proposed from time to time. The annual meeting of the in- tercollegiate football .rules makers is the occasion for a rule chang- ing spree. It may be anything from the size of the ball to the color of the umpire’s tie—but there must be something new. Major league baseball moguls have great fun injecting more life into their baseballs or if the occasion demands, it—reducing its liveliness. Certain boxing commissioners have not giyen up hope of dis- covering a satisfactory system of arriving at decisions at boxing pbouts and to that end are willing to try new stunts as often as they can hold meetings to pass amend- ments. It would seem the ancient game of golf would be immune, but in- deed it is not. Recall Gene Sara- zen’s attempt to sell the idea of using an eight-inch cup. And some- one is forever trying to figure out a better way of scoring. Just this year the method of play in the National amateur was switched from medal to match play. Basketball, too, has had its share of tinkerers. Witness the latest experiments of the Forrest (Phog) Alien, whose University of Kansas Jayhawkers have been Big 8ix champions for the past four years. Dr. Allen would raise the hoops two feet, placing the baskets twelve feet above the floor. He would likewise raise the value of the field goal, scoring it as three points. And just for good measure, he sug- gests that time be taken out after each score, while the ball is being put back in play. To prove the practicability of his proposed changes, Dr. Allen staged an exhibition game under his own rules between his Jayhawkers and the Kansas state team of Dr. James Naismith, the gentleman who some 135 years ago, invented the game of hasketball when he hung a air of peach baskets on the walls of the gymnasium at Springfield Y M. C. A. College. Kansas State humbled Dr. len’s champions, 39 to 35, in over- time. State’s margin of victory would have been 28 to 26, had the game been scored under the cur- rent rules. Time out after each score prolonged the game four and one half minutes. Dr. Naismith was inclined to side with the dissenting group, particu- larly objecting to heightening the baskets. He pointed out that the change in the height of the bas- kets would not only handicap the small group of exceptionally tall players, but also would place an even greater handicap on the many thousand shorter players. The matter will come up again at the annual meeting of rules committee when it meets in the spring. Until that time Dr. Allen ‘ests his case on the showing of the demonstrative game. - MRS.

Al- | T SEEMS THAT REFEREE WASNT $0 VERY 600D Nevertheless, Those Prep- sters Shouldn’t Be So Rough ZESULTS LAST NIGZ® George Brothers 36, High School 20. Juneau Firemen 37, (overtime.) Moose 31 It seems, ladies and gentlemen, that the first game of last night's basketball doubleheader was 'fea- tured by some .very bad officiat- ing. Now, inasmuch as the writer of this article was tae whistle-tooter in that game, this story is inclined to agree with that sentiment. De- cidedly so, the refereeing could have been improved upon. e But, ai the same time, it might be interesting to point out a few observations concerning that first game, won by George Brothers over Juneau High School, 36 to 20 The two teams I the floor at hi time with the champoin George outfit leading, 18 to 10, Up to that time, the preps were very much in the ball game. Al they were playing compars clean ball. And, too, the referee —although wincing now and then ander a Bronx cheer or two— wasn’t faring so badly. That same spirit of good hard play seemed to prevail for three minutes of the third quarter. The score favored the Green Shirts, 18 to 14. Then, the High School lads started : to play.the same. kind of ball that has marked their games all season. They switched from left a smart, clever, passing attack to| a brand of sport which smacked greatly of football; a crashing body-contact style. From that point on, they were lost. The more experienced Green Shirts, sensing their foes had stopped playing | basketball, quickly jumped into a good lead and held it all the way to the finish. Ten fouls—not nearly enough— were called on the high school club. Only three were charged against the George Brothers team. That wasn't enough, either. But the foul calling, after all, didn't decide the game. The prepsters sunk two foul shots, and Green Shirts collected but four from the free throw lane. The whole thing dissolves to this: | this writer believes sincerely that Juneau High School's basketball team would be a much better team if it would play more basketball and yet aggressive not to be rough. FIREMEN WIN TILT If the first half of last night's, double bill disappointed the good! crowd which attended, the seoond} fracas certainly more than saved | the day with a thrilling overtime battle won by the Juneau Fire- men over Moose, 37 to 31 l The Moose won their only game of the first half against the Fire- men, 29 to 28. Again, last night,| they seemed well on the road to duplicating that upset, when, at} the start of the final quarter, they led, 23 to 19. But they reckoned not with the Fire Eaters. Baskets by Lawrence (Hill, Stan Hill and Dick Gerwels | gave the Piremen a 27-25 lead | with two minutes to go. However, ‘.lf!er several seconds of fierce play, Jerry Ledbeiter, Moose forward, | picked up the loose ball, with 50 seconds to go, swished through a |long shot to make the count 27- all. 8o, the game went to overtime. Ledbetter contributed two more baskets during this period, but a battling Firemen team would not be denied and Lawrence Hill and Gerwels sparked them to a final, 37-31 victory. ‘The summaries First iEORGE (36) Sturrock, f McPhee, f.
