By JACK HLKiNON, Post-Gazette Sports Writer ruL ri SSI By innn Jordan Post-Gaiette Sports Wntf If the old adage about history repeating itself is going to recur anywhere, the brass out at The Gardens hopes it doesn't happen to the Hornets. Back in the 1951-32 season. King Clancy was putting in his first hitch as coach of the Wasps. They won the American Hockey League title and the Calder Cup first time the big mug ever came to The Gardens.

However, if the rule is adopted for immediate use by the various states the new measure would become effective nt season, provided the plan is adopted cn a nationwide basis. The delay was provided to allow schools time to change their courts.

Funk, however, indicated the delay is unnecessary because all that is required in the way of a court change is to paint new lines on the floor.
