Impatience is one mark of Kentucky basketball Coach Adolph Rupp which has helped him to more success than any other college coach in the history of the game.

slightly more than two seasons of coaching left before etirement, Rupp would like to some rule changes made i see that he has advocated for several years. Rupp, named Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year today, wants the United States to adopt international rules to speed up the game and "stop the parade back and forth to the foul He said games are unduly delayed by the time consumed in shooting fouls.

But this time. 27-game winner Indianapolis Washington 'is fa vorcd at Hinkle. Marion is the choice at Fort Wayne. Tolleston is the team to beat at Purdue, and the winner of the afternoon collision between Vincennes and Scottsburg should also make it.

Marion and Vincennes seek state finals berths for the sec ond year in a row.

Snyder Named Wildcat Coach Officially EVANSTON. 111.

(UPI) Brad Snyder, who has doing the work as basketball coach since Feb. 1. now will draw the pay. Snyder, 30, who led the Wildcats to a 4-2 mark after taking over the slumping quintet midseason from Larry Glass, was named Tuesday to succeed the resigned Glass as head coach. "This was really a situation where a coach really won his job." NU Athletic Director Tippy Dye said.

Snyder took control with the Wildcats in the Big Ten cellar and the team finished the season in fifth place. Snyder became fre'hman coach in 1962 arid moved up to the assistant position a year later when Glass was named to the top spot. As a 6-foot-2 forwarp, Snyder captained the 1961 Wildcat squad and shared most valuable player honors. Dye said several other candidates were under consideration but Snyder got the job convinced me as sure he must have convinced everyone who saw Northwestern come back with an impressive finish."
