Fred Chambers Trains Men
In Javelin Throwing
Technique,
Just a snappy "aweat-up" auf
fleed Coach Henry F. Sohulte'a
Huskermen Monday after they de
cisively defeated the Jayhawkera
last Saturday in a dual meet. Half
of the indoor cinder path was
blocked off because of its sloppy
condition, and no trial heata were
run.
Field events were given the
greatest prominence Monday. Fred
Chambers, former Cornhusker
javelin-hurling star, tutored fif
teen men in the javelin division.
Preliminary form is the object of
his work until the time cornea for
distance throwing in outdoor com
petition. A newly elected canva.sa back
drop, const ructed by Floyd Bot
torf, Husker equipment manager,
now offers facilities for budding
discus throwers. Coach Schulte
and Assistant Coach Ed Weir have
taken Charley Brock under their
wing in showing him the essential
style and form in this ancient ath
letic sport. Brock is only a fresh
man hut appears to be the answer
to Nebraskan coaches' prayers. He
looks promising as a weight man.
Big Bob Mills heaved the 16
pound metal shot Monday 46 feet
2 inches to tally his best mark of
the year. Under the joint tutelage
of Coach Schulte and Sam Francis,
varsity shot putter. Mills is rapidly
developing into one of the best
looking yearlings, performing with
equal ability in the hurdles, broad
Jump, shot put. and sprints.
"Extremely pleased" was Coach
Schulte's comment on the perform
ance of his varsity tracksters last
Saturday against K. U. "It was in
deed unfortunate," he remarked,
"that Kansas docs not have a
heated indoor plant such as we
have. They were unaccustomed to
working in a heated indoor track,
and the contrast was too much for
them."
Tuesday Coach Schulte expects
to begin putting his track men
thru the mill in order to groom
the squad for their second indoor
meet next Saturday with Kansas
State here.
LARGE K-AGGIE SQUAD
18 of 23 Lettermen Return
To Workout for 1936
Wildcat Eleven.
MANHATTAN, Kas., Feb. 24
With 8 to 23 lettermen returning
from last year Coach Wes Fry
of Kansas State is anxiously
waiting for a favorable break in
the weather to plunge into spring
football practice.
Sixty suits have already been
checked out and others are being
issued daily so that practice can
begin on shoit notice, if the
weather moderates. Between 90
and 110 candidates are expected to
report. Practice was originally
scheduled to begin Feb. 17 but the
temperature was around zero and
the field crusted with ice and
snow. The postponement was to
Monday, heb. 24, but with temper
atures still below normal and con-
tinued snow, the practice un
doubtedly will again be postponed.
Fry remembering the injury jinx
which dogged the wiidcata last
year, cannot afford to take
chances by putting his men to
work on the hard frozen ground.
The first two weeks of practice
will be on fundamentals, getting
the freshmen acquainted with the
shift, stance, and a few funda
mental play6. Then the entire
varsity squad will repoit and
more serious work will start, with
considerable emphasis on forward
passing. "1 have every teason to
believe we will have a good for
ward passing and fair kicking to
back it up," Fry said.
"Ted Warren, Leo Ayers, Red
Elder and Howard Cleveland are
all good paasers and good receiv
ers. Bill Hemphill and Barney
Hays, ends, are good receivers.
Elder, Ayers, Cleveland, and
Hemphill are, in addition, average
kickers, any one of whom might
develop into an excellent kicker by
next fall."
"We are going to count heavily
on aeniors," Fry continued. "All
the seniors will be backed up by
juniors and aophomorea."

Includes universities in that city,

official rules as played elsewhere

This addition to he rules makes
it a foul for a player to make a
move that might impede an op
posing player, even though no con
tact result. Under the national
rules, every player la entitled to
take any position on the floor he
wishea to, so long aa he does not
collide with another in doing ao.
In this connection, Dr. F. C. Al

story of the player upon whom a
foul was called. The player re
monstrated that he had not
touched the opponent. "But I de
tected evil in your eye," the ref

Tho New York addition to uie

"If a player with the ball at
tains a position on the floor
which results in the cutting off
of an opponent, and subsequent
to passing the ball make any
movement or motion which ac
tually impedes the progress of
the opponent so cut off, a block
has been committed, even
though no personal contact has
taken place.
"A player on the offense who

opponent, commits a block if

The Athletic Coach'a article,
continuing, quotes from several
basketball officials, the most in

Tower, editor of the Basketball
Guide, and official inteipreter of
the rules:
"It may be predicted safely
that the Olympic playoffs . . .

Big Six Secretary Sends Out
Questionnaires; Vote on
Center Jump Rule.
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 24.
Annual questionnaires aa to the
working of recently adopted baa
ketnall rules and proposals for
changes, are being sent from the
office of Dr. Forrest C. Allen, sec
retary of the Big Six, in prepara
tion tor the meetings of the Na
tional Association of Basketball
coaches in New York. April 1, 2,
and 3, and of the National Basket
hall Committee of the United
States and Canada, also in New
York, April 4, 5 and 6, Theae lat
ter days also will see the final
elimination tournament for the
choosing of the American Olympio
basketball team.
Jumps After Goal.
The first question being put to
the questionnaire vote is one re
lating to center jumps. It will be
recalled that a rule waa adopted
last year abolishing the center
jump after successful free throws,
the ball going to the team scored
on, and out of bounds. Tho ques
tionnaire goes on to inquire if the
coach interviewed favors retaining
this rule, whether he would extend
it to include center jumps after
field goals, and if this extension of
the rule were made, should the ball
go to the team scored on (a) at
the end of the court, (bi at the
end of the division line, or ic) at
the center circle. A further ques
tion is, "If the center jump is re
tained, would you favcr rotation
of jumpers?"
Modern Throw Lane.
The restraining circles now used
about the free throw lines offer
another series of questions, and
operation of the new rules on a
fumble, not a dribble, the three
seconds limitation in the free
throw lane, and the one awarding
additional free throws for un
sportsmanlike conduct, are in
quired into.
Questions raised that have not
been subject of discussion in this
region include: "Would you favor
making the free throw lane
wider?" "Would you eliminate free
throws after a double foul?"
"Would you disqualify on the
fifth foul? (instead of the fourth
as at present). "Would you dis
qualify for the rest of the half
after the third foul in that half?"
High school overtime games also
offer opportunity for suggestions
for possible changes.
A Columbia student, unable to
be awakened by his alarm clock,
concocted a "Rube Goldberg" ar
rangement that the ringing of the
alarm throws a powerful light in
hia face, starts the radio, and be

His first chance to show hia

It was but a few minutes until

a back exit and stood in the snow

An elderly man on the second
floor, thinking all other escapes
blocked, broke a window with his
fist. With his wife they jumped to
the ground, alighting in the snow.
She was taken to the hospital in

F. C. Allen Says Nebraska

LAWRENCE. Kas.. Feb. 24.
The Jayhawker basketball men
have a week before their next,
and crucial game, that with Ne

be Nebraska's final game of the
season.
In the meantime, Oklahoma, in
third position, will be playing
Iowa State this week end, and Ne
braska next Monday, in a final bid
for second-place honors.
"Both Nebraska and Oklahoma
have good ball clubs," says Dr.
Forrest C. Allen, director of ath
letics and basketball coach at
Kansas. "Nebraska has every in
gredient necessary ex perience,
speed, height, and power. Three
seniors, Widman, Whitaker, and

SOONER'S SOPH CAGE
DASH TQTEAM'S PlAY
Livingston Collects Goals
With Shots From Weird
Angles, Positions.
NORMAN, Feb. 24. Dynamite
has given the University of Okla
homa basketball team a new so
phomore twinkler who in adding
dash and fire to Coach Hugh Mo
Dormott's squad as it prepares for
a hot drive down the home stretch.
The newest Sooner whig is Den
ton Livingston, a trimly-built
speedster who lacks three digits on
one playing hnnd yet shoots field
goals over his nose from weird
angles and positions.
Back in 192S Livingston, then a
youngster in the seventh grade at
Hollister, Okl., blew the first joint
of three fingers o his left hand
while playing with a dynamite cap.
The accident occurred in the mid
dle of the basketball season and
deprived the seventh grade team
of a atar performer with the
county tournament looming close.
However young Livingston
didn't quit. With his injured hand
bandaged heavily, he began to
play basketball in earnest, learn
ing to catch, pass and dribble the
bail with one hand. In a couple of
weeks he was back in the game.
But best of all the accident
forced him to develop a one
handed push shot that "Big Six"
conference teams now are finding
almost impossible to guard. Not
onlv does Livingston flick this shot
off his chest, but also he scores
with it by hooking the ball over
his head.
Shines from First.
Livingston's first "Big Six" con
ference clash was against Kansts
State at Manhattan. Coach Mc
Dermott wa8 desperate. His club
was cruelly hit by injuries that
had crippled and retarded it
through the first half of the sea
son. Nelson was out with a
sprained ankle, Connelley was
limping from a aimilar hurt. Remy
had a broken nose and Needy,
finest passer on the club, became
scholastically ineligible.
So the Sooner coach shot Liv
ingston, who just became eligible,
into the Kansas State game. To
everybody's surprise the Hollister
youth scored six field baskets and
so rekindled the smoldering Sooner
morale that the Oklahomans went
right out and spanked Kansas
State 42 to 32.
