There was some comment last week as 'to what Sportscope was about.
We wish to take this opportunity to defend ourself. We can only say

There nas been much discussion of rules of late, at least among
coaches. In the Ei&sember, 1952, issue of The Bulletin of The National
Association of Basketball Coaches of the United States there is some
rather lengthy* prose discussing the advisability of changing a few
rules.
The main subject discussed wno "florcod" substitution. Most of
the coaches seemed opposed to the idea of having to substitute a
man when a player gets Ave fouls. Some coaches favor a three
flonl per half rule while others want no penalty removing a player
from the game for good.
Dan Hart, coach of a little school located somewhere west of Dallas,
says his two cents worth in this issue.
He thinks the three fouls per half is a good rule but he believes it
doesn't go far enough. Hart says, "I believe that we will ultimately
arrive at a solution similar to the "no limit" rule since it is designed
to solve the whole problem."
This 3-3 rule, which disqualifies a player for a hnlf when he
draws three fouls after which he may return in the second half and
play till he gets three more fouls, will probably be adopted next
year by the National Rules Committee, says Coach Hart.
There has been talk that if the 3-3 rule is adopted there will be a
wild melee in the latter minutes o£ the lirst half similar to what we
sometimes see near the game's end. Coach Hart says, "I do not think
the 3-3 rule would, as many say, substantially increase fouls in the lat-
ter minutes of the first half because this is not the crucial period of the
game and, in contrast with the period near the end of the second half,
it Is not a "life or death" matter. The motivation is not the same."
It will be interesting to see what the Nationaal Rules Committee
comes up with for next season in regards to this rule and the contro-
versial 1-1 free shot rule which gives a player an extra shot if he misses
his first one.

If the intramural basketball race is anywhere as close ns litst
year's, it will be quite a battle. Last winter the sophomores and
the fish battled rightt down to the wire and ended the regular
schedule in a tie. A playoff game which the sophs won was neoes-
. sary to determine the winner.
Intramural basketball will be starting soon, so be prepared for any-
tljjng.

Statistical Breakdown Tells
The Story of 6-4 Record
With the season almost half
gone a look at statistics one" the
Rams will help determine the how
and why of the Texas Wesleyan
6-4 record.
TWC has played ten games and
12 still remain to be played.
In team storing Melvln ChapT
man, 6-foot-4V& inch center, has a
a slight lead with an average of
15.9 points in ten games. He is
closely followed by Joe Bradley,
senior guard, with 14.9 points in
the same number of games.
Chapman and Rasco are tied for
high man in free throws made with
39 apiece. Chapman has made the
most field goals.
The Rams overall offensive aver-
age of 68.2 is pretty well up there
among averages of other Big State
Conference teams, but the Wesley-
an defensive record of 65.6 is aw-
fully close to the offensive aver-
age.
Ram opponents have made more
free throws than TW could mus-
ter, 196 to 180.

Fred Smith, 6-foot-4 center, for the East Texas Baptist Tigers, made
quite an impression on Sport Scope when the Rams played the Tigers
January 10. '''He was a thorn in the Ram's side all night. He wasn't
the high point man, but he was the fellow who controlled the game.
His every action seemed to indicate he was the high mogul of the
team. When the going'got rough you could depend an old Fred, he
seemed to say; and you could. Several times the big lumbering Smith
moved out to guard and proceeded to sink several nice one-handers.
When the Rams attempted to press late in the game, Fred's master-
ful passing spoiled the Ram's bid.
The Wesleyans play the Tigers again in Fort Worth February 27 in
the last game of the season. If Smith will be as great on the Recrea-
tion boards remains to be seen.

The best lake of the year was executed not on the playing field
but in the stands the other night in the game with the ETBO i
Tigerg. The Tiger fans had just sung their "alma mater" and
settled themselves back in their seats when the Ram supporters
got up. gverybody in the place except the Ram bench got up when
the Ram section sang, ".We hear the gentle voices calling." As
the second part of the yell began, "Go, go Rams, go!" the Tiger sup-
porters shamefacedly sank back into their seats.

In Loop Play
Despite two losses in their last
three games, Texas Wesleyan is
stiM hanging onto second spot in
the Big State Conference basket-
ball standings. Two weeks ago
the Rams beat Southwestern in
Fort Worth and were defeated by
East Texas Baptist in Marshall
and Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdo-
ches.
Saturday the Ram's scheduled
game with St. Edsvards was post-
poned leaving the Wesleyans with
a 2-1 record in conference play
and an overall season record of
six wins and four losses.
East Texas Baptist has the only
unblemished record in conference
competition., They defeated St.
Mary's 64-62 last week, a team
which TWC barely beat G4-G3, to
couple with their earlier defeat of
TWC which gives them their 2-0
record.
Southwestern and Texas Luth-
eran, the Ram's Friday opponent,
are also in the running for the
title.
Conference action picks up con-
siderably this week, with five of
six games counting toward the
title.
Meet Bulldogs
In Loop Contest Friday
The TWC-Texas Lutheran bas-
ketball game scheduled for Friday
night at the recreation building
should prove to be a verytJhot con-
test.,
The cold, inclement weather last
week caused the Rams-St. Ed-
ward's game to be postponed un-
til March 3. During this week of
no scheduled games, Coach Dan
Hart's lads have caught up on
sqme needed practice, arxLplan
meet the Bulldogs in a head on
collision. Heading this collision
under Coach George Kieffer, are
five very capable starters. These
