Rides Again!
. . . N. C A. A. Folly
t avvrp.NCE. Kans.. April 13
The "no tap abova the basket de
fensive player" rule proposed by
the N.C.A.A. cage moguls is dis
criminatory, would not be coun
tenanced in a court of law, and
nhould be known as the N.C.A.A.
Basketball Rules Committee's
folly, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen,
celebrated court mentor of the
University of Kansas, stated here
today.
Referring to members of the
rules committee. Dr. Allen said:
"They are still in the horse and
buggy days as far as progressive
basketball rule making is con
cerned. It is pure discrimination
against the defensive player 'when
a player touches a try for goal on
jmvnl arc nhove the level
f th hnskef (auotine from the
rule proposed by the committee).
On the other hand, they permit a
towering offensive player to dunk
the ball into the basket or to tap
the ball into the basket when it is
on the rim. In a court of law such
obvious discrimination would not
be countenanced. You can't have
your cake and eat it too. Some
rules must be changed, but no
rule should be made that is dis
criminatory in character."
The doctor raised the question
as to why altitudinous players be
designated as "mezzanine-peeping
goons" simply because they can
reach the basket. He arguea mat
such players as Harry "Big Boy"
Boykoff, of St. John's, Milo Kome
nich, Bob Kurland, of Oklahoma
Aggies, George Mikan of De Paul,
and all other versatile stratosphere
players be permitted the full free
dom of the court and the airlanes
withoutdiserimination against
them.
Such a difficulty as the N.C.A.A.

rules committee is obviously at
tempting to avert, would be solved
by simply raising the goals to a
height of twelve feet instead of
the current ttn, Dr. Allen pointed
out.
"There is nothing kacred about
the ten-foot basket," he said. "Dr.
Naisinith nailed his peach basket
on the running track at Spring
field college and it so happened
that the running track was built
up ten feet for the past ter. years.
Yet coaches are complaining about
the tall player batting the ball
away from the basket;."
