I think one of the reasons was to make 9 ball more appealing for TV audiences.

I'd just turned 14 a couple of weeks before that fateful Friday, Nov 22, 1963. We were let out of school just before lunch (PST) once the news of JFK's assaination reached Vancouver BC Canada. An acquaintance suggested that several of us go to his house and play some pool. I didn't share that...
