INQUISITIVE FANS.

Sporting Editor Star: Will you
please state in you column what the
changes in the basket ball rules are this
year, both in amateur and collegiate.
c. Ref.
There is practically no change in the
playing code of the game that comes I'M
der the jurisdiction Of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union. i.
The changes that have been effected in
the intercollegiate rules are as follows:
/. Rule %, section 10, has been changed
so that a player. after bringing dribble
to a stop, shall not dribble again until
the ball has entered the possession of
another player. Last year player might
stop dribble, elude the guard. and begin
the dribble in new direction: this year
he may not do this; as soon as the dribble
has ceased the ball must be passed or
thrown for a goal.
.. The words run into or charge an
opponent" have been added to rule %,
section 4, thus making it foul for the
dribbler to try to Dverrun the guard. or
for the guard to charge another player In
an effort to stop the dribble.
3. A second official has been provided
for an umpire.
4. Rule "a, section 8, has been made to
read that a player shall be disqualified
for the remainder of the game who has
committed four personal fouls. distinc-
ton being made between personal and a
technical foul. ..
). Rule %. section I, forbidding coach
ing from the side lines.
6. A note has been added to rule IL
making it Illegal for a player who is in
eligible to recover the ball when 1t goes
out of bounds, to block off an opponent
who is trying to reach the ball.
Z. There are few minor changes, the
most important of which is the provision
for clearly marked boundary lines not
less than two inches in width.

look at the big men en- our foot ball, and

they do not take to the boxing game as

reasons 1 have stated above. Take your
own athletes back in the states-that is
among your foot ball and base ball teams
and you will find some pretty big men,
but they do not get into the boxing game
early enough and as. result the num-
bers are few.

the big promoters OF boxing in this ,coun-
try, the states and Great Britain, to start
series of boxing events for heavy
weights only. offering good prizes for the

Representative Link Tells OF
the Bribery Scandal.

Representative Michael S. Link
added his confession to the two al
ready secured by States Attorney

an ndictment-twelve hours during
which he was closely watched by de-
tectives- broke down the nerve or the
Democratic legislator from Mitchell
and as soon as Mr.. Wayman reached
his office Link expressed his willing
ness to tell all he knew.
Fifteen minutes after his statement
had been taken down Mr. Wayman ap-
peared before Judge Kersten and the
indictment against Link was quashed
Although Mr.. Wayman was as close
ing the indictment so promptly was
regarded as an invitation to other leg
islators to come in out of the wet
and tell the grand jury what they may
know of the alleged bribery case.
Lee O'Neil Browne came up from
his home at Ottawa at an early hour
and at once began arranging for bond
under the Indictment returned against
him by the grand jury. He made a
brave show if Indifference and, reit-
Grating his declaration of innocence,
declared he would fight the case to
the last ditch.
Representative Robert E. Wilson, a
Chicagoan, who was the third man
named in the indictments, was also
busy securing bondsmen.
The charges against the three in.
dicted men were as follows:
Representative Lee O'Neil Browne,
of Ottawa, minority leader of the
house, indicted for bribery on fifteen
counts, setting up that he paid to
Representative Charles A. White $3.50
in Chicago as part of $1,000 bribe for
