MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1967 National Cage Committee OutlawsDunk, St alling Colleges, High Schools Affected by New Rules * * * * * * * * * Valek to Succeed Elliott at Illinois By JOEL BLOCK The National Basketball Com- mittee of United States and Canada yesterday outlawed the dunk shot in all amateur basket- ball games in the United States and Canada. The committee, which is the major governing body in amateur basketball, also amended its rules on intentional stalling. The new rule on dunking says that if a player dunks the ball through the hoop, the basket will not count and the ball will go over to the other team. The revision on the stalling rule makes it mandatory for a team to advance the ball toward the basket on offense within a ten- second period. The referee will give a warning after the first ten seconds and if the team fails to advance the ball in the next five, a technical foul will be called. Injury Eliminated One of the reasons for the new dunk rule is the injury possibility to players incorrectly attempting to "stuff" the ball. Clifford Fagan, secretary of the National Basket- ball Committee, said yesterday that 1,562 injuries to players at- tenpting dunk shots have been reported. Another reason which the com- mittee gave for their action was, "to equalize the offense and de- ferise and to give each team sim- ilar privileges under the basket." Edward S. Steitz, the incoming rules interpreter for 'the commit- tee, said that there was no de- fense for the dunk shot under the basket. Kay Schultz, head of the Big Ten Service Bureau, commented yesterday on the committee's ac- tion. "There has always been the question as to whether the 'stuff' shot is a violation of the offensive goaltending rule. When Alcindor was putting his hands half-way through the hoop to stuff the ball during the NCAA basketball finals, it made some people wonder, how you're ever going to stop him." Cut Show Offs Schultz went on to say; "There was also the injury factor in- volved. A lot of kids have been hurt trying to show off before a crowd with a stuff shot. When the kid doesn't know how to stuff the ball through properly, he can shatter a backboard or even his wrist.", The National Basketball Com- mittee of the United States and Canada is composed of represent- atives from Canadian colleges, the NCAA rules committee, junior colleges, high schools, and the YMCA athletic program. Rules governing all amateur basketball in the U.S. and Canada are made by this committee and all teams will have to abide by its ruling. The rules committee voted over- whelmingly in favor of the "no stall" rule, saying, "The commit- tee feels that it is for the good of the game and should provide much more action." Both the "stall" rule and the "dunk" rule will go into effect at the beginning of the 1967 basket- ball season. High school and col- lege referees across the country will be instructed on the specific conditions of both rules. By The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN - Jim Valek, South Carolina assistant coach -and Illinois football captain in 1948, will be named the Illini head1 football coach to succeed resigned Pete Elliott, the Associated PressI learned yesterday. The university is planning a news conference today at 11:30 a.m. to make -the official an- nouncement and also to name a head basketball coach to replace Harry Combes. He is expected to be Harv Schmidt, 1957 Illinois basketball captain. Combes and Elliott were forced to resign in the recent Illinois slush fund recruiting scandal. Valek, 41, who played end on thej Illini's 1947 Rose Bowl champion- ship team, was interviewed by the Illinois A thle tic Association's board of directors Monday night. He remained in Champaign last night, a spokesman said, adding that Valek is staying in the city.

Meanwhile, in Evanston, North- western football coach Alex Agase told the Associated Press that "I am remaining at Northwestern and am very happy here." Agase had been prominently mentioned as a top candidate for the Illinois job. Schmidt, who was named most valuable player on the Illini's 1957 cage team, has been serving as assistant basketball coach at New Mexico University. Reached at a Champaign motel, Valek told the Associated Press, "At the moment, I don't know what the situation is. I'm waiting Maxey Named All Academic Ken Maxey found himself in pretty fast company yesterday when he was named to the Big Ten's All-Academic basketball sec- ond team. Five of the conference's top seven scorers were included on the squad. The team was chosen by a panel of 36 Midwestern sports- writers from a list of 20 players with B or better averages. Northwestern's Jim Burns and Wisconsin's Chuck Nangle missed unanimous selection by one vote each. Two members of Illinois' scan- dal-ridden team were named. Jim Dawson and Dave Scholz made the first team. Bill Hosket of Ohio State, the Big Ten's top rebounder, rounded out the first five. In addition to Maxey, the sec- Carolina, he recruited prep stars in the Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana area. It was learned that Schmidt also was interviewed by the Illinois Athletic Association's board of directors Monday night. Schmidt served as a high school basketball coach at Davenport (Iowa) West in 1960-1961 and in 1962-1963, compiling a 29-15 record. He shifted to Moline (Ill.) High School for the 1963-1964 season and had a 15-8 mark. Named Soon "Where are a lot of procedures for selection of a new coach," the spokesman said, "but the naming may be done in a matter of hours and certainly not more than a day." If Valek is the man, his selec- tion must be recommended by Dr. David D. Henry, school president, who then must obtain approval of the Illinois Board of Trustees. Valek, now offensive backfield coach at South Carolina under Head Coach Paul Dietzel, has the backing of Gene Vance, who Sat- urday officially takes over as ath- letic director at the scandal-hit school. Valek and Vance were fellow football and basketball coaches Illini's 1947 Rose Bowl team and captained the 1948 football Illini. Urgency marks replacement of Elliott, since Saturday is mailing date of Big Ten football tenders and the Illinois recruiting picture already has been clouded by the scandal. Valek and Agase were most prominently mentioned as Elliott's successor. From his LaSalle-Peru job. Valek went to Illinois in 1958 as an assistant under former head coach Ray Eliot and served one season under Elliott when Pete moved here from California in 1960. Valek shifted to Army under Dale Hall in 1961 and was retain- ed at West Point when Dietzel took over in 1962. Valek then fol- lowed Dietzel to South Carolina.

It takes away one of the fine plays of the game of basketball. I don't know why they have to butlaw it because it doesn't really happen that often in a college basketball game. "They say they're prohibiting it because it's a great cause of in- juries but in the years that I've been at Michigan, the only thing that's happened is the breaking of a ten-year-old backboard dur- ing a practice. I suppose there have been a few players who have hurt their wrists trying to stuff but it's never been anything ser- ious enough to end their careers. "I've always felt that you play the game of basketball for the crowd. When we had Cazzie and the others, it was always a big shot when one of them would break away for a stuff. "I'm really sorry that they pass- ed this rule. I don't think a lot of the other coaches are going to be in favor of this rule. I guess you can put me in the category of really mad." John Kundla, Minnesota: "I knew it was coming because they talked about it a, lot at the national convention. I'm not against the rule and I'll go along with it. "The stuff can be a dangerous shot. The player's legs can get caught underneath him and, he can suffer a serious injury. There have been three or four cases brought to my attention where boys have injured their wrist in attempting the dunk shot.

If a guy breaks one of those glass backboards in a warm-up drill before a game, the game might have to be cancelled and a lot of money will be(lost. "The dunk shot ridicules the; little guy on the team. A lot of big' men like to be show-offs and slam the ball through the net. "Lastly, the dunk shot is bad for coaching because a player is liable to take steps in his attempt to stuff the ball." Guy Lewis, Houston: "This is the worst rule change in the last 50 years of basketball. I was shocked and amazed when I heard of it over the news on television. "The dunk shot has been the most exciting shot in basketball in the last few years and now they've eliminated its use from competition because of one man-.{ Lew Alcindor. "When some guy pops in a long 30-foot jump shot, nobody in the crowd gets really excited. But watch when some one like my Elvin Hayes stuffs the ball through the hoop and you'll see the crowd jump up and go crazy. They love to see it. "This 'dunk ruling' isn't going to affect my players as much as it's going to affect the game of basketball. It's going to hurt it because it's taking out what the crowd comes to see. "I'm definitely against this rule and I'll bet that 98 per cent of the college coaches in the United States won't agree with it either.I But we'll have to live with it for a year at least." By ANDY BARBASi Could Michigan recover from1 the unexpected loss of five seniorsf to major league baseball? Would the sophomores be able to step in and take up the slack? These were the major questions facing Coacht Moby Benedict.before the baseball team went on its 11-game swingE in Arizona. The conclusion seems to be that1 while' it is hard to replace the five starters, the Wolverines have recovered. As Benedict explained,1 "The sophomores performed gen- erally up to expectations, and thej rest of the team has shown great{ improvement." The results of the campaign< were fairly predictable. "The team1 usually starts well, runs out of gas about half way through, and then comes back in the final games.- This is exactly what happened," was the way Benedict put it. Quick, Slow, Quick The diamondmen started strong, winning their first three games- two against Chapman College and one against Santa Clara Univer- sity. After being drubbed by Ari- zona 21-2, the Wolverines re-) bounded to overcome Albuquer- que. Their next three encounters were with Arizona, and while they came close, they never could quite take the Wildcats. The Wolver- ines' next game with Cochise Col- lege, which they won 7-1, may have given the breather they needed. The Michigan nine took a doubleheader from Arizona on the last day of the trip, leaving them with a 7-4 record for the outing. The most notable feature of the team was the pitching. Joe Kerr and Bill Zepp did outstanding jobs, and along with Geoff Zahn and Joe Notz, will be the base of Wolverine piftching. Kerr pitched three games, totaling over 20, practice." But he wasn't as enthused about sophomore hurlers. "I was disap- pointed with Jim Lyijynen, and Dave Renkiewicz only did a fair job." Renkiewicz was knocked out of the box in an early perform- ance, but he came back to go the distance against Cochise College. Benedict concluded, "Dave has a way to go, but he could develop into a very fine pitcher." - - , +;XHIT1ON BASEBALL Houston 4, Pittsburgh 2 St. Lous 3, Los Angeles 1 New York (N) 9, Philadelphia 7 (10 inn) Kansas City 5, New York (A) 4 San Francisco 4.
