Although anything can happen in an athletic contest one vent Well bet our last Dollar on is the u. S. Olympic basketball team that will play with the rest of the olympic Cag entries. As a matter of fact we believe that the u. S. Team could go unsfored on if the head coach Bud Browning of the Phillips oilers of desires. % t the olympic games will be played under the old basketball rules vetch allow goal tending without restrictions. In other words seven " foot Bob Kurland the to s. Center will be allowed to stand under Bis own Basket and hold Bis hands right Over the rim thus making or impossible for � Ball to get through. 1 on the other hand if Browning wants to run a scores Jie can use Kurland As Che great scoring threat he is by taking advantage of the Lack of the three second Rule in the fee zone area i ,.- " present Day rules Jan the u. S. Prohibit1 an. Offensive player remaining in the free throw Zonts for More than three seconds thus allowing big men like Kurland to get set or pivot1 Are almost impossible to Stop. A i1""1,. " a _ " Var a another ujsdiscarded Rule used in the olympics is the Ohe that Lilious offensive players to throw the Ball in. Play on of of la funds " play in either court without the referee first handling the Ball.,j _ _ the Only thing that might slow up the u. Steam is that under olym Pic rules a player must leave the game after four personal fouls. The Only Way this would slow up the . Team is the length of time it � would take to get another player in the game according to our View _. Up until the the 1936 olympics in Berlin the Center jump was used � after each Basket Footit it has since been Elin Inal land that Wilt give \ the rest \ f the teams at least a Chance to get on the Ball. Bat All in All we think that s about All they will Ever get Chance to do ? of " x a " " millionaire plays bal of $50 month " off prove they really do things in a big. Way in California thei Sunset league out there has a millionaire player whose contract Calls ifqrv5ujoo a month. The4 development came about when the league moved Jas Ontario franchise to mexican mex., and Mario Hernandez from the latter City bought into tie " Hernandez who owns a Large Mexicali department store Auto and appliance agencies and a portion of the Bank offered his services a a first baseman and the manager of course gladly accepted. The catch is that Hernandez is really a Good first baseman and is highly endorsed by league president Les Powers who was quite first baseman himself a decade ago. To Boudreau eat his words and How the records Are full of people who have said the wrong thing at the right time and lived to see the Day Woven they would have Given a year s salary to Call Back their words. Perhaps the most noted of these was the statement by Bill Terry who was then managing the new York giants. Terrible Terry whose Pennant bound giants were scheduled to meet the Tail end dodgers inquired brightly of a sportswriter it the dodgers were still in the that Little remark fanned the present Day fires that still Burn brightly in dodger Dom and the bums proceeded to Knock the giants right out of the Pennant. Another Bright Young Man who now is wishing he had never said a word is Jiou Boudreau the Cleveland indians Pilot. Lou waxed loquacious on the subject of How to win pennants the other Day and in elucidating on the subject said the Way to do it was to defeat the weak Sisters in the league to wit the Browns cd lox senators and last but not least the Philadelphia athletics. What happened the High Riding tribe almost got their collective Heads torn off when they visited the athletics at Shelbe Park including Bobby Feller who lasted Only four innings against the weak ? athletics. Right at the present the a s Are in the top spot with Cleveland a game and a half behind.
