Coaches Favor Change In One- And One Foul Rule Power Of A's Picked As Rookie Of Year SUNDAY NEWS Correlation First In SPORTS THE SUNDAY NEWS, MARCH 21, 1954 25 Gulfstream Derby Brazen Brat Wins Laurel Opening Handicap Want 2nd Free Throw Only If First Is Made KANSAS CITY, March 20 (INS)-The National Association of Basketball Coaches closed its 28th annual meeting today by recommending a change in the one-and-one foul rule to give a second free throw only if the first one is made. The ball would be in play immediately if the first shot is missed. However, two shots would still be given a player fouled while shooting. The change will be recommended to the rules committee which meets tomorrow. Urge 20 Minute Halves Also to be passed on will be an earlier suggestion of the coaches to return to 20-minute halves.

They point out there is too much stalling near the close of the present four 10-minute periods. Commenting on the new foul rule proposal, Coach Floyd Stahl of Ohio State, chairman of the rules recommendation committee, said: "We are trying to take away the objectionable feature of the present rule which puts a premium on mediocre foul shooting. The recommendation would give a bonus for good shooting and help do away with fouling for profit. The coaches also want to express their desire for a full 40-minute game instead of what amounts to the present two games--of 37 and three minutes, each." The proposed rule would apply to the entire 40 of may be used in tonight's consolation game between Penn State and the University of Southern California, if coaches of the two schools agree.

Crudden, Jr. Sports Editor CENTRAL Pennsylvania Hockey Writers, in naming their first, and third choices for the American League All-Star team, nominated no five Hershey players, including Gordie Henry, Dunc Fisher, Red Sullivan, Lorne Ferguson, and player-coach Murray Henderson, while Ray Gariepy have been an almost certain choice had he been eligible Arnott Whitney, the Freshman, was put in third place for the Rookie of the Year award At first glance, this might appear as though the Central Penn group is slightly prejudiced, in other words, "homers," but nothing is further from the truth, as the Selection Committee, which picks 'em for the entire group as a whole to vote! upon, consisting of Dave Brandt, of WGAL-TV, Ted Gress, of the Lebanon Daily News and Herb Krone of the New Era and Associated Press, is one of the most conscientious committees we have ever seen at work After the players are selected by the Committee the group as a whole kicks it around for a couple of hours, and not infrequently changes are carried It just SO happens that Hershey is that good this year, and when final choices are made we believe that the Central Penn selections will hold the line pretty close Sullivan, who, doubtless will be named the player of the year, and is likely to be an unanimous choice, is said to be worth $50.000 Gariepy, who was up in the National League cue with the Boston Bruins most of the season did not play enough AHL games to qualify for the all-star array However, it is the considered opinion of sev- Red Sullivan eral close hockey fans that Gariepy is worth $30.000 of anyone's money or the equivalent in players It seems likely that Sullivan will wind up in the spangles of the Chicago BlackPage 27-THE OBSERVER Celtics Edge Knicks BOSTON, March 20 (INS)- ton Celtics a 79-78 Bill Sharman sank a long shot the New York with 17 seconds remaining in Sharman, playing the game today to give the Bos- est game of his points to keep ELECTRIC MOTORS Rewound Repaired Repairing of Electrical Equipment IGNITION ENGINEERING SERVICE R.

(AP Wire- Simmons Eager For Crack At First 20-Victory Year TAMPA, March 20 major tragedy when he ran over his first full big league season The husky Philadelphia Phillies fireballer fortunately had no after-effects from the accident that sliced off part of the big toe on his left foot, and he said today he is in peak condition. Simmons, who will be 25 on May 19, doesn't consider himself luck guy. But circumstances have kept him from turning in a full campaign since he actually began knocking at the door to stardom in 1950. The native of Egypt, who received a $60,000 bonus for signing, was with the Phils the full seasons of 1948 and 1949, but he had very mediocre records.

Then when he got rolling with 17 victories in '50, he was called by the Army and missed the last three weeks of the season as well as the World Series. He reported late in 1952 after his Army discharge, and his lawn mower incident cost him a month last year. Everyone is wondering if he can win games over a full schedule. Curt said: "I guess I'm more anxious than anyone to see what can do. feel I'm in great shape.

I realize we have a defensive club that counts heavily on pitching. I hope I can have my best year." Simmons depends upon overpowering foes and upon hair-splitting control. But he has developed a deceptive curve and a change of pace. He gives much credit to Ken Silvestri, who was his batterymate in his early days with Phils. He said: "He gave me confidence, made me think more about control and showed me that I faced first base too much when I took my stride.

I wasn't too much in those days." Curt has overcome tremendous ous shyness. He attended high school with his wife, Dorothy, but -Southpaw Curt Simmons, who came within a toenail of a his own foot with a lawn mower last June, is looking forward to since he reached front-line form.
