The American Cultivator says: "Thc
splendid yield of Maine potatoes Is
borne out by the October government
crop report, which gives "a per cent for
Maine. a much higher percentage than
for any other important potato state

eastern states range at 10 per cent. or
below. New York showing 81 and New
Jersey IS per cent. Michigan and Wis

spectively and Illinois 81 per cent,
while Indiana reports only "a per cent.

a crop. Maine being the only state
which can boast of anything like a full
yield. When it is added that quality
and appearance of the Maine crop are
also very good this year the strong
position of the Maine potatoes on the
market is sufficiently explained. Were
it not for the large crop of potatoes in
Europe it is Likely that prices would

from the conclusion that the quality OF

CONFER ON BASKET BALL.
Rules Discussed at Meeting Of In
tercollegiate League.

NEW YORK, December ALMOST every
eastern college of importance in the basket
ball world was represented at 4 meeting
Of the rules committee of the Intercol-
!egate Basket Ball League, which was
held at Columbia University saturday
afternoon. The committee. consisting Of
w. c. Hyatt, Yale, chairman; HI. A.
Fisher, Columbia: Ralph Morgan, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. and Lieut.. Still
we'll of West Point. spent the entire after
noon comforting with the various captains
and managers, and interpreting the rules
of the league adopted last spring.
There had been considerable misunder-
standing on the part Of some of the man
ayers as to who should select the two
officials that are now required for every
intercollegiate game. After much dis
cussi0n 1t was agreed that the repre-
sentatives OF the opposing teams should
select the floor officials by mutual agree
ment, and that the officials themselves
should determine who should take charge
of the refereeing and who the umpiring
The central board of governors of the
league will recommend certain men as
competent officials. but their selection
will not be obligatory.
1t was generally agreed that the rule
disqualifying player from continuing in
game after five fouls have been called
on him is good one and one that was
needed. But discussion of this rule
brought up another revision which says
that a player who carries the ball over
his head on beginning dibbling. or who
stops while dribbling. makes foul. Some
of the managers declared that the floor
officials had altogether too much power
by this rule. and said that referee
could work injustice on players and de-
bar them from the game for an offense
depending on the construction of an OFF,
cial. After much debate the rule was
allowed to stand and the managers stated
that 1t would practically mean the elimi-
nation of the dribbling game.
Representatives were present from
Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Pennsyl-
yania, West Point. Tordham, Pratt and
Brooklyn Polytechnic institutes and New
York University.
