NATION'S CAGE COACHES SAY NEW RULES HAVE CUT FOULS New Rule Helps ‘Team With Ball Says Seton Hall Mentor Tuesday | é By RIP WATSON | NEW YORK @—Coaches of the | mation’s 10 best college basketball teams were pretty much agreed today that the new free throw rules | have ‘increased * decreasing the number of personal | fouls, but they didn’t agree at all| on the rules’ effect on style of Play. ‘All of the coaches except Ken- Loeffler, coach of fourth-ranked La Salle, thought that the rule award- ing a bonus free throw if the first one is missed had increased scor- ing. Similarly, edach of undefeated Seton Hall, top-ranking team in the country, was the only coach who thought the Tules have cut down fouling. ‘The coaches were asked how the new rules team’s style of play, the number of personal fouls called and the number of points scored. “The rules help the team with the ball,”” Russell said. “They help the kids in the personal foul col- umn and also in the scoring col- umn.” Loeffler; who guided La Salle to | the National Invitation Tournament championship last year, said his team is “collecting. less points from the foul line than before the new rule.” “Today a player figures if he misses the first foul attempt he’ll make it on the second,” Loeffler said. “But actually when a player is careless in shooting the first time it makes him more careless the second time.” Russell .also praised ‘the rule awarding two free throws for all personal fouls committed in the final three minutes. “Defensive teams can’t foul in- discriminately,” he commented, “Now a team that’s losing in the last three minutes has to use skilled defensive players instead of hatchetmen.” Hank Iba of eighth-ranked Okla- homa A&M, like Russell a defense- minded coach, commented that the te “amounts to a 10-point advan- e for the offense. Tippy Dye, coach of _third- ranked Washington, and Jack Gardner of Kansas State, No. 5, said that fouls actually had i creased under the new rules in- id of decreasing. Dye said his m’s fouls increased from 14 per game to 18, while Gardner said }itrsa_ State's average jumped m 19% tO 26. d Diddle, ‘céach of rfiath- ranked stern Kentucky, agreed with Léeffier about foul shooting, saying the rules “place a ‘premium on mediocrity and have developed a sort of carelessness.” wHe suggested a change, even though the rules have helped his team because “we don’t have a free throw team and make re second shots than first.” Meyer of De Paul, No. 10, a said he “could do without” one-and-one rule. ~*1 still think when a boy goes to the line it’s his job to make free throw the first time,” he “Branch McCracken, whose Indi- team is rated second in the ition and leads the Big Ten race an 8-0 mark, agreed the rule s unsatisfactory. ‘Coach Harry Combes of sixth- Illinois said, “‘The poor free team has been given a big rantage.”” Johnny Bach, whose Fordham m is rated seventh, said he'd ticed’ more emphasis on defen- play. é RSM CO RR 'The longest winning streak in San Jose State football history was ‘string of 20 compiled during the and 1940 . seasons. rge (Doc) Jacobs, St. Mic- "s College basketball coach, red on the Vill tHiat beat St. Mic! 5 *PRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT » Bill's Southernmost Garage Honey Russell, scoring without | 3 had affected their | | Citizen Photo by Ellis Finch MISS BEVERLY HANSON AND JOE LOPEZ, SR., defeated the City Champion, Norton Harris (left) and Gene Witzel (right), yesterday in a nine-hole exhibition at the Key West Golf Club.

Referee Johnny Webber didn’t even count after the second knock- down—Hall was out in the ring for at least 20 seconds. The champ used left hooks and jabs almost exclusively until deep in the second round. He upped the quota of rights in the third after Hail landed a couple of lefts to the face. Just before the knockout, Moore busted Hall with a flurry of lefts and rights to the head, setting up the payoff blow. The champ, spotting nine pounds, weighed in at 179 for the nontitle bout, slated to go 10 rounds. , Moore, 36, was the overwhelm- ing favorite to trim his 22-year-old opponent.

General Manager Frank Lane today was in a state of high elation over his successful year- long attempt to reel in the 30-year- old first baseman who led Ameri- can League batters with .344 in 1951 and .327 last season. To get consistent-hitting Fain, the tidiest bit of trade bait that has been dangling for two years, the White Sox gave up their only proven long-ball hitter, first sacker Eddie Robinson. That others were involved in the | off-season’s biggest baseball deal is somewhat inconsequential. The A’s also donated Bob Wilson, rookie second baseman who batted .269 for Indianapolis in the American Association in 1952. The Sox gave up outfielder Ed-McGhee and in- fielder Joe de Maestri, both of whom were unsuccessful in pre- vious flings with Chicago. The relinquishing of Robinson, who batted .296 last season, was viewed with some misgiving among White indoor season in 4:17.6.

If you like beer... you'll /ove Schlitz Fain In Trade along that Lane was shopping for another long-ball hitter. Robbie in the last two years has driven in twice as many as Fain, 221 to 111. This fact gave rise to some speculation that perhaps Lane eventually would trade Fain, pos- sibly to the New York Yankees. for outfielder Hank Bauer and first baseman Joe Collins. “We're not a farm club for the Yankees,” snapped Lane.”“I ex- pect Fain to be our first baseman for the next five or six years. We started dickering for him:a year ago and kept it up. Only in the last week did we offer Robinson in any such deal.” Lane said fain will fit in per- fectly. “With the definite program we've been planning at Comiskey Park for years in getting a pen- nant. winner.” “We are designing our club for speed, defensive ability and - hit- ting ability,” he added. “We are designing it around the spacious+ ness of Comiskey Park, where we play 77 games. Fain will do better for us there than Robbie. Robbie should do better at Philadelphia, just like Gus Verniai did when we traded him to the A’s. Both clubs benefitted in the trade.” : 2" dead entire The Beer that Made Milwaukee Famous © N+ hae. Setties Pew ng Compa. STOCK ISLAND | MONROE BEER | \DISTRIBUTORS. INC: ) $40 Greene St., cer.
