There is a move on among some college basketball coaches and officials to allow a player to remain in the game after his fifth foul. Instead, the penalty of his team losing possession would be tacked on to the free throws for each foul over five.

F From The SIDELINES BY ERNIE TRUBIANO Sports Editor This weekend track coach Weems Baskin will have an ace up his sleeve as his Gamecock tracksters host the Carolina State-Record Relays. The ace is the Rex Ettrifht Athletic C<ter. With high school stars from all over the state competing and attending the gala event you canl bet that none will leave idissatisfied with the track (and baseball) facilities at Caro lina. This is a dtfinitel (I(lran trf!/(c ill r(cruitti . Young athletes who are impressed with a school's facilities can be persuaded to enroll in an institution much easier. Events such as the CarlinIM State-Record Relays and the Greater Columbia Spring Festival Baseball Tournament are a complirlent to a school's, facilities as well as good publicity for the school. This, as we all too well know, is something Coach Mc Guire cannot boast of. His efforts to recruit talent are cer tainlly not helped bY the present Carolina Field House. Let us hope, at least, that the track team will peak the ciombiied benefits of the beautiful and spacious Rex En right Center. Too bad they do not have national track rankings. * * * * * Sports Illistratd this week repeats its call for a change in basketball's foul-out rule. Sports Ill.strat( d points to the 17 first-half fouls called against Pritnceton versus only four against Michigan. The point to be made, according to the magazine, is not criticism of the officiating but the more ba'ic one: "A flaw exists in basketball that changes the game, in hibits a team and cheats the fan who pays to see the best in both teams. "When Princeton's Bill Bradley acquired his third foul in the first half of that taut semifinal. Alichigan's victory was practically assured. When he got his fourth, early in the second half, Michigan's victory w(ts assured. Because no matter how great a player is, the specter of being whistled out of play for a fifth personal foul restricts his talents. makes him cautious, sometimes so cautious that he commits foolishly the very foul he is trying to avoid." And, Sports Ill1strartr0 further pcints out, ". . . the strongest penalty that exists in any other sport is the hockey penalty box, and even that does not eliminate a player per manently or spoil the game." * * * * * Bill Russell was named the N. B. A.'s Most Valuable Player by the nation's basketball writers for the fourth time in seven years, but he was more excited over teammate Sam Jones' fourth-place finish in the poll than in his own award. Shown the official voting tabulatio,n of 24 league' writers in nine cities giving him 283 points to runner-up Jerry West's 156, Russell ran his finger down the list to the number four man behind himself. West, and Oscar Robertson (155) to that of Sam Jones. "Gee, said Russell, "Sam finished fourth. Can I show this to him'?" The big l)ivot ma neuveredl over to w'here Sam was prac ticing foul shots and beamed happily while showing Sam the voting list. "Sam edged Wilt,'' chuckled Russ. "G6D vo tes to 60. How about that?'' Russell's, selection marked the fourth time in the last five years that he has been named the M\.V.P. by BOTH his fellow players and the newspapermen. If they meet in the playoffs, the battle bet ween Russell and Chamberlain will be something to behold.
