Show ving T Adopt Hocke Hockey Rules L Foxx May Ble Break k Record I fill i FRANK K BAKER ER From Indiana a hotbed of basketball comes cernes the suggestion to adopt a hockey practice and send a n player who fouls to the cell on the side sidelines lines Instead of ot permitting the opposition to have a free throw throwS William F. F Fox Jr Ji of or the Indianapolis News makes the proposal ItIs It Ith Itis is h not the first time Ume that the suggestion has hns b been en advanced Revolutionary ry as the Idea is it Is worthy of serious consideration I would not like to ro see sec a player benched for even a few tew seconds for some orne of the more nore trivial fouls For that reason renson a system m should be set setup et up similar to the and personal foul arrangement Body contact contact con con- tact of ot the simpler sort wrt could be bc classed as a technical and w would uld permit the opposition a free throw The more serious violations would be regarded ai U personals Send that man mm to the sidelines Make him sit aU there like the little littleboy littleboy littleboy boy who stands standi In the corner comer with his face to to th the wall Only let him himlee see nee tho the damage damare he is causing by being on the sidelines sideline For drastic fouls put him h In the cell for lor ke keeps epa ps so far lar as that game i is concerned Officials may argue that such an arrangement would further complicate an already hard bard job sob I dont don't believe it would In fact it ought to lighten the burden Most personal fouls are the outgrowth of carelessness Few players realize how they're handicapping their team by making a number ot of violations in a game Oh well its it's just another free tree throw for tor the other team they often otten figure Hell probably miss the try anyway anyway any any- way ways So long as as that attitude exists players will make many needless louis fouls Let the players have to sit on the sidelines and view the way they're handicapping their team by being careless enough to make a grave violation of the personal contact rule and they'll be a lot m mere re thoughtful about their body contact next time National Open Tennis Tourney Should Be Added to Calendar How would the best five amateur tennis players in the world compare compare com corn pare now with a similar r top ranking quintet of professionals asks a b bystander by stander who probably knows knO the answer already and merely wants to ro rub it in It might be worth an argument but for the fact that we are convinced convinced con con- vinced Tilden Plu Vines and Cochet with Richards for an alternate would have much the better of any anyo competitive argument with for example Crawford Perry Shields Austin and either Wood or Batch Batoh Perry it Is 15 true whipped both bOUl Vines and Imd Cochet Coche but not by any overwhelming margin Crawford no doubt would acquit capably in any vany tennis company but those hardy perennials Tilden and lein would more than Ulan balance the scales in favor of those who play pla for forthe forthe forthe the gate re receipts AU All this marks a definite turning point in tennis from Irom tho the days day when the amateurs completely dominated the sport It is quite probable that when Tilden and d Vines get Id through with their barnstormIng barnstorming barn barn- storming tour the foundation will be set sd for still greater American crowds than ever at tennis matches matche The time ha national tennis arrived in short where a open
