AMENiCA' pAgTg February 22, 1957 SPO RT ANDERS BY SANDERS - Comments Around the Nation Well, as the basketball season draws to a close, there have been all sorts of comments over the high scoring which some of the teams have been getting. There are even comments around the country that the game of basketball is getting less and less interesting. But, if you ever see the basketball games at the antiquated field house of USC, you would certainly change your mind. From the moment that first ball is tossed into the air by the referee, the exeitement of the Carolina students cannot be held down. They can't help but cheer each time a Carolina man scores a goal, and ir. particular when Grady Wallace happens to get that point number 36 or 37 which will put him into the national lead. And, when the final buzzer is sounded, the fans are still cheering for their beloved Gamecocks. They take to the floor, chasing Wallace and company around the court, while the little kids look at the young lad from Kentucky in awe and ask a simple question. "What's this guy got that the others don't? That is the question. Oh, well, maybe one of these days I'll be shooting the roundball into the net for the Gamecocks. I've gotta practice a lot, though." ''he Question at Hand, Though Hut, getting back to the general theme of the current discussion about the various comments of the nation. . . . Ed Krause, Notre Dame athletic director and former Irish player and coach, thinks it is time for a change. le proposes that the worst feature of the game today is free throw line. In an average game, according to Krause, the action stops about once every 10 seconds for the free throw, and then the usual bonus shot. Krause maintains that an official recorder should be placed at the scoretable to tabulate the number of foul shots coming to a player. 'l'hen, when the game is over, those who have foul shots coming will step to the line, aim, and fire until they have collected all their fouls. He maintains that those who like basketball in its real form can go ome after the ball game, while those who like foul shooting contests can remain for another hour and watch the boys go through their paces. All this sounds crazy to me. How about you? There is also rumors floating around that some of those people who want to make the game more interesting by enlarging the ball just one inch. This would make it quite harder for the old ball to go into the hoop, thus causing the game to be more interesting. This still sounds crazy. Why not let basketball alone? Remember when such players as Walter Dukes and Bill Robinson were playing . . . also Frank Selvy of the Furman Paladins? Well, there were people then who wanted to change the rules so it would he harder to score, but nothing ever came of the howls. And, when Selvy was a senior, he led the nation in scoring with an average of just over 41 points per game. No one has come close (Continued on page 9) odern! t Suits You Best!
