DRASTIC CHANGE
MADE IN COLLEGE
BASKETBALL RULES
Will Allow Player to Shoot
for Goal After
Dribble.

NEW YORK, June 29.-The collegiate
basketball rules committee held its an
nual meeting at the Hotel Imperial yes
terday n made several important
changes in the playing rules for next
season. With the design of eliminating
rough play, two officials, a referee and
an umpire, were determined upon.
Heretofore q single official, the referee,
was in control of the play. The drib-
Bile vas defined as a continuous pas
sag of the ball, and it was decided
that the ball must not remain mo-
tionless in the hands of a player after
he has started his dribble. 1t was fur
Their decided that a player can shoot
for a basket after a dribble. This is a
sweeping change. and one calculated to
make the game more popular. Further,
as a penalty for rough playing, a rule
was passed disqualifying any player
having five fouls called upon him.
Roswell b. Hyatt, of Yale University,
was reelected chairman of the commit
tee; Ralph Morgan, University of Penn
sylvania, secretary-treasurer, and Har-
ry A. Fisher, Columbia University, ed
itor of the rule book. A central COM
mittee of officials was appointed: r.
Morgan. University of Pennsylvania,
chairman; George C. Appel, of Will
Jams College, representing the East;
DIR. Joseph E. Raycroft, University of
Chicago, representing the Western
conference; Isadore Anderson, of Uni
versity of Missouri. representing the
Southern conference, and DR.. q. d.
Angel, of Oregon State Agricultural
College, the Northwest.
The members of the rules committee
are r. 3. Hyatt, of Yale; Lieutenant
J. w. Stillwell, of West Point; George
c.. Appel, of Williams College; G..

Mcconnell thinks that the Red SoX

Well. Joe Bean is no longer man

and Gene Mccain is now at the mead
of the Jersey City club.
The appointment of Mccain was I'M
der consideration for some time.
Bean is not the only clever ball
player who failed to make good as
manager of a ball team. Originally
!, the appointment of Bean as the head OF
the Shelters was regarded as a cleve
stroke of policy on the part of the club
owners, as Bean proved himself a good
captain and one who knows the line
points of the game thoroughly. But
when it came to select the men and
whip a team into shape he was a fall
ure. How much more successful Nc
Cam will be is a question. He knows
the game perhaps as well as n man

pointment is only for the rest of the
season.

one mile and five-sixteenths. The race

impossible to figure other han James

Under the conditions Ballot will have
to carry only 1926 pounds, and Colin and
Celt Ill pounds, respectively. If the
-vice-chairman starts only one of his
eligibles he will win first money. and if
he adds either Colin or Celt he will get
the second part of the purse without
any difficulty. No matter what the
distance of a stake is or what the adj
justment of weights, the Keene trio of
stars seem to stand out as the winners.

There sat together in the press box at
the recent Yale-Princeton game two
star pitchers of the past and present
Christy Mathewson and Mickey WEIGH.
Nearly everyone recognized M~athewson,
but none of the later-day followers of
the national game knew the famous
pitcher of the New York Nationals of

long since Welch was seen in a Giants
