BASKETBALL RULES CHANGED
Recent Revision Forbids "DribbIine'
Of the Sphere and Eliminates
Tricky Throws.


Deciding that several changes were
necessary in the code of basketball to
make the intercollegiate rules elias
tic enough to permit a more interest
ing game. the committee has made
about a dozen changes.
The practice OF "dribbling" up to the
basket and taking step to shoot for
a basket is now forbidden under the
new rules. Provision is made for the
contestant catching the ball on the
run. It Will then be up to the referee
20 use his Judgment and give the play
er chance to slow up.
To avoid the scheme OF tricky play
er to deliberately throw the ball
against a wall so that il will carom
back to him or one Of his team mates
the new rules makes the ball dead
when is il thrown. The new rules per

or any part OF his person being across

ketban will have to change their ma
chinery a little. as under the new
rules the weight must be from "a tc
% ounces, whereas. under the old
rules they were to weigh from is tc
20 ounces.
The referee may call fouls on ali
the players while the umpire may call
fouls on only the eight who are out OF
the serimmage for the ball This is
intended to reduce the possibility OF
players other than those struggling for
the ball TO commit a foul.
