The four rules adopted by Ihe a i a 1 Collegmle Baskelball Committee yesterday and the others still under consideration are largely of a minor and tech- lical nature, Their purpose seems to streamline and to clarify.

These are the new regulations committee approved: 1. A coach can talk to his earn at the bench during intermission and timeouts. This makes coach- ng from the bench unnecessary. 2. Substitutes can enter the merely by reporting to the scorekeeper.

All the referee has lo do is recognize the player and say, "come on." 3. A player who is charged with a foul must raise his hand so the spectators can see. 4. All jump balls must be made at the nearest of three six-foot circles. This is lo prevent scrambling for positions around the sidelines.

The proposed rules changes still under consideration include Ihose dealing wilh a uniform a ground and modification of the three-minute rule.
