PLAYERS
ARE FORBIDDEN TO HUG
Less Roughness and More General
Following Of Ball Is Now
the Point Raised.

OF the recent conference on basketball
rules held in New York the following re-
port was made:
An effort has been made 10 reduce and
eliminate the roughness which has crept
into the game, and special legislation has
been directed this year against personal
contact in the game. Hereafter men will
be supposed to follow the ball more close
ly and give up the close hugging system
of guarding that has brought the game
INTO disrepute. In trying to get after the
ball the players must now strike at the
ball if they want to set it away from
the opposing player and not at the man,
as many players have done in the past.
Remain, who IS coaching the PennSVl-
vania five this season announced as his
opinion that the changes in the rules
would result in a reduction in the scoring
and that the game would cOrTesDOndingly
lose in interest from the spectators point
Of view. He said that the graduates pre-
ferred plenty of shooting, and with the
guards having the advantage over the for
wards, as will be the case under the
changed rules, scoring will be small
Special attention is to be given this
year to the referees. Hyatt, chairman
of the rules committee, cautioned the Of
flc1alS present against allowing holding,
and warned them to enforce the rules
strictly. A method of checking the work
of officials has been devised by the com
mittee. After each game the captains of
the two teams are required to send in a
criticism Of the work of the officials,
stating briefly his qualifications for the
work
In order to prevent unnecessary delay
a team may ask for time out only three
times in each half, and no further time
viii be allowed, even when man is in
juTed or forced to leave the game for
some other reason. Another change is that
when a player touches the boundary line
he will be called out Of bounds, instead
of when he puts one foot entirely out of
the court, as the old rule stated. WhCn
the ball is returned from out of bounds
without being touched by a player it is
considered dead.
A lot Of time was taken up in discuss
ing proposed rule fOTbidding a player to
make a leap or take a long step before
dribbling, passing or throwing for the bas-
ket, and the rule was modified so that
the ball has to leave the players hand
before the foot brought up from behind
touches the floor.

BASKETBALL SHOWS
INCREASE OF INTEREST
Game Popular Throughout the State,
With Championship Races
Promising Sport.

With the holiday vacation coming this
week in the schools Of the state prac-
uoally all Of the basketball teams, with
the exception Of the y. M. c. A. Fort
Douglas and National Guard teams, will
take a rest until school opens in January
At that time both the intercollegiate and
scholastic league seasons viii start and
me race tor championship honOrs prom
ises to be an interesting one.
Not only in the schools has basketball
taken hold with the same interest shown
as in former years, but in other Organi-
-auOns has the game taken hold and
basketball now finds more players and
fans in the state than ever before.
Utah has long been known as a bas-
ketbau state and made all visiting teams
admit that hey played the game here.
mis- year one and perhaps two Utah
teams will enter the national basketball
championships to be held In March at
Chicago The Y NJ c. A. is sure to
90, and the showing made by the Uni
versity team has already started a call
Tor sending the Crimson five to the col
l7glate championships at least As vet
however, the season is young ana until
the Utah fiVes show their ability against
each other and with outside teams nothing
definite will be done.
While the Y NJ. c. A. is to lose the
services of Coach Brown, Mr.. Brown has
made ali arrangements for the Y. NJ. c.
A trip to the national championships and
the only thing needed is a creditable show
ing Of the five. From the two games
played thus far the Y. NJ G. A. appears
to have one Of the strongest teams in
its history. 1t certainly has the best ma
terial it ever had from which to build
a team.
From the B. Y. Z. at Provo come re-
ports Of another good five, with the col
leglate honors again expected. 1t now
looks as If the B. Y. L. will be the only
five to give the University a run for
the remnant
Wits the high schools there is a wealth
OF material all around and the scholastic
race will be one Of the hardest fought
in the state.

WILL Be TOO STRONG
FOR JEFF, SAYS JACK

Philadelphia, Dec. ls.-Jack johnson,
the champion heavyweight pugilist of the
world, does not look upon a defeat at
the hands of Jim Jeffries as possible
bout on July 4, next. The colored cham
piOn had this to say why he expects to
whip the big boilermaker:
In the first place. I have a good pair
of hands 1 will Jolt him harder than ne
has ever been struck before. 1t makes no
difference whether the fight is at long or
short range, for I can outlook him, and
In a miX-up at close quarters I dare him
to swap punches with me. To my mind,
there is no doubt as to the result. I am
big and healthy, never was sick in my
life, and am the strongest man Jeffriee
ever met in the ring"
