Free Throw Rule Changed KANSAS CITY # — Basketball players awarded free throws in more incentive than ever to shoot the ball through the hoop. If they do they'll get 2 second shot—a chance to make two points instead of one. If they don’t, the ball goes into play. «The new rule, adopted by the National Basketball Committee yesterday, applies to common per- sonal fouls committed in the first 37 minutes of a game. The com- mittee did not change the rule for the last three minutes of the game—two shots, regardless of whether the first is made or missed. A common foul is one commit- ted while the player fouled is not in the act of shooting. The new rule replaces the controversial one- and-one regulation. Under that rule a fouled player got a second free throw if he missed the first shot, but not otherwise. The committee also divided the game into halves again, eliminat- ing the quarter timing adopted in the 1951-52 season. By reverting to two periods of 20 minutes each instead of having four of 10, of- ficials hope to cut down stalling when time is running out. Only college games will be played by halves, however, others continuing by quarters. Tot Strangles In Brief Interval BALTIMORE ® — Ten-month- old William M.

Employed Dy cesseseecssseorrseeee Kentucky Cagers Rated No. 1 In Nation In AP Balloting By HUGH FULLERTON JR. NEW YORK ® — Kentucky’s unbeaten basketball team, which | refrained from tournament com- petition this year, came out ahead of the two national tournament winners, LaSalle and Holy Cross, in the final Associated Press rank- ing poll of the 1953-54 season to- day. The Kentucky Wildcats, topping 71 of the 138 ballots cast by sports writers and broadcasters through- out the nation, captured the No. 1 ranking by the very small margin of 32 points from LaSalle’s Ex- plorers, the newly crowned Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Assn. champions. Holy Cross, the surprise winner of the National Invitation Tourna- ment, was a strong third, with In- diana, the 1953 NCAA champion and a strong preseason favorite, fourth. The final count, on the basis of 10 points for each first-place ballot, nine for second, eight for third, ete., gave Kentucky 1,110 points and La Salle 1,078. Holy Cross drew 914 points and Indiana 835. By finishing on top, Kentucky retained the spot it had held in 12 of 16 weekly polls throughout the season. Indiana, tabbed as the likely winner in the preseason poll, held onto the No. 1 spot for two weeks before suffering its first de- feat. Duquesne moved to the front for a couple of weeks late in the season, then ran into two setbacks I am particularly interested in: and dropped behind again. Kentucky won 25 straight games during the regular season, includ- ing a playoff with Louisiana State for the Southeastern Conference championship, but declined to en- ter the NCAA Tournament, ‘for which it qualified automatically. The reason was that three post- graduate players, eligible for con- ference competition, were not elig- ible under NCAA regulations. The influence of postseason tour- nament results on the voting was seen in La Salle’s rise to second place at the finish. The Explorers, in and out of the first 10 during the regular season and at times unable to muster enough points to make the first 20, moved up to | sixth place a week ago when they Jentered the NCAA semifinals. Aft- er whipping Penn State and Brad- ley soundly to win the title, they jumped up to ‘second. Holy Cross, which advanced to third place on the strength of its NIT victory, held onto that place while Indiana, still highly regard- ed, slid back to fourth. In addition, Duquesne, the NIT runner-up and the second and third-place teams in the NCAA Tournament also earned top-10 ranking in the final poll. Duquesne finished fifth, followed by Notre Dame, upsetter of In- diana in NCAA play; Bradley, the NCAA runner-up; Weséern Ken- tucky, an NIT entry; Penn State, third in the NCAA; and Oklahoma A & M, loser to Bradley in the NCAA second round. Southern California, the fourth NCAA semi- finalist, was 11th in the balloting. The final ranking of the leading | teams (first-place votes in paren- theses): . Kentucky (71) . La Salle (33) . Holy Cross (1 . Indiana (9) . Duquesne (1) . . Notre Dame (3) . Bradley __.... . Western Kentucky .. . Penn State .. . Oklahoma A&M (1) . Southern California . . George Washington ( . Iowa (2) .... .
