15. (AP) George E. Keogan, whose 14 year basketball coaching record 773 at the university oi Dame lends considerable weight to his words, declared today, "rule changes of the last five years have hurt the game." "There have been too many changes in the first plana," he said in an interview. "Basketball will never become stabilized with uniform officiating and uniform interpretation of the rules unless the rules are left alone long enough for all sections to level off interpretations." urunani uoacning itccora Keogan is a University of Min nesota graduate who gave up pulling teeth to drill young athletes on the fine points of the "hoop and hardwood" sport. His all time record up to the present season in cluding service at Valparaiso, Allegheny college.

Central high school of LaCrosse, and St. Thomas of St. Paul shows 347 victories, defeats and a tie, for an .816 percentage. Keogan is convinced the new rule eliminating the center jump penalizes tne good teams, since they "are forced to give uo the ball after they have scored." "Supposing tne stronger oi two teams is a little off in its basket Shooting early in a game," he sug gested. "Under the old rule it might, by its aggressiveness, control ball the majority of the game and still win, Bu' if it is missing shots, losing an even percentage of the rebounds and losing the ball after making its shots, it may easily lose to an inferior team.

Or ciose game may oe settled the final minutes more on the new rule than on the skill of the winning team. Predicts "More upsets' The rule changes helps weaker teams.
