basketball Playing Rules.
At a meeting of the basketball COM
mittee OF the Amateur Athletic Union held
in New York City last week several
changes in the playing rules of the
popular game were recommended and
adopted.
First of all the committee felt that
field goal should be worth more than
twice as much as a goal from free
throw, and promptly decided to allow
three points in the future instead OF two
for field goal; one point from free
throw remaining the same.
The matter of dribbling was fully dis
cussed, and 1t was finally decided to elm
mate the calling of foul for throwing
for goal at the end of a dribble. The
following rule was substituted: If
player dribbles the ball and throws a
goal IT shall not count. and the ball is
to be thrown up in the centre. If it
misses the basket the ball is in play. 1t
was further decided that a dribble Is two
or more bounces, and that 1t shall not be
a foul for man to eaten the ball with
two hands and tumble, or allow 1t to
hnnncp floor
again with both hands.
1t is foul to dribble with two hands
twice.
The new rule as to substitute players
Players may be substituted only during
the intermission between the halves, eX-
cept for sickness or injury a player once
taken out of the game cannot play again
in that game.
When the whistles of the referee, UNI
pire, and scorer sound simultaneously, the
referee shall decide which one takes pre-
cedence.
