member of the team which has the free
throw to stand underneath or at one side
or the basket, while his team-mate
throws the ball. hitting the rim of the
basket and having the ball carom of
into the players hands underneath the
basket, and in many cases the player
has been successful in scoring goal in
this manner. In order to prevent such
tricks the rules for 1903 cover this point,
and the latter part of section Is, rule X,
says: The ball shall not be thrown to
another player; an honest attempt must
be made to cage it; if the ball is caromed
10 another player and he succeeds in
throwing a goal it shall not be counted.
Whether the goal is made or missed the
ball shall be thrown up at the center
The referee makes the decision on this
rule. Beyond the above changes the
rules are practically the same as last
year. There are few minor changes,
but nothing that will cause change in
the game in any way. George T. Hep
