Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-12-17
High School Boy Has a Record

Robert Wood, captain Of the Omaha
high school track squad, Is considered
one of the fastest men in the middle
west i'm the 1OO-yard and 900 yard dashes
and already has string of records to
his credit that give him considerable
prestige among western track followers.
He has been able to win a place In
every meet entered during the last two
years in which time several official
records have been chalked up to his
credit His best record and the one
which is respected all over the Missouri
valley is that OF 10 seconds flat for the
1O0-yard dash, made at Lincoln in the
valley interscholastic meet last May. For
the 100 yards distance in this meet, on a
good track and with no advantage of
wind, three official timers clicked him off
at 10 seconds flat in the prellminaries.
Wood easily won the finals In 1915, but
several officials of the meet then agreed
upon 10 seconds as a permissible record.
Wood also negotiated the same distance
in 10 seconds flat in the interschool track
meet with Council Bluffs high school
earlier in the season.
He sprung the big surprise OF the sea
son by winning first place In the 22O-yard
dash at Alonzo StRsg's outdoor invita-
ton meet, held at Chicago last June
Wood won this event in 22% seconds
against field OF some thirty crack inter
scholastic sprintegs, the pick OF the
middle-west. He holds the Nebraska state
interscholastic record Of 221S seconds for
this distance
In the local indoor meet held at the
Auditorium on April !, Wood won first
place In the interscholastic 50-yard dash
for which the time was 54s. He also was
close third in the championship 6O-yard
distance, in which f. Kuhn OF the Chi
cago Athletic association won first place
in BIT, equaIling the worlds record.
Arthur May, Nebraska's crack sprinter,
took second and Wood was only a scant
foot behind.
W God also holds the local high school
record for the running broad jump, in
which he made 20 feet, s1k inches In the
interclass meet last spring. He has also
cleared feet inches in the running high
jump. but not In competition.
IL was thought for a while that he
would not be able 20 take up track work
next year, because OF failure in studies
but he has now made up all deficiencies
and will be able TO enter into active
training and issue the first call for can
didates for the 1912 squad on January q
Much is expected OF Wood ia the track
contests in which the Omaha High school
track team viii compete this spring.

Few Changes Are
Made This Year in
Basket Ball Rules

Basket ball rules for tho season OF iaii-
1912 contain few changes over those OF last
year and followers OF the game will have
little difficulty In mastering the minor
changes that have been made.
The much discussed 'dribble' rule ~
still In force, although Il was the center
OF much unfavorable comment last sea-
son. Several leading physical training
men In different parts OF the country
advised eliminating this rule altogether,
while many coaches and team managers
suggested revising Il somewhat.
George 7. Iepbron of New York, sec
rotary OF the amateur rules committee,
says OF the "drlbblo" rule: This rule
continues to elicit discussion and, as
usual. some say Il IL too strict, others
II Is too lax, while few say. cut IL out
altogether The committee feels that the
rule as at present framed strikes the
happy medium, and believes It is more
conducive to teamwork than tho various
notifications being tried out by individual
teams"
An addition to the rule for putting the
ball into play has been made. II. after
the ball 81 placed In piay It Is batted
outside by both players simultaneously, II
shall be thrown up again between the
same players at the same spot as before
This rule formerly only contained pro,
visions for putting the ball into plai
after II had been knocked out OF bounds
by one player.
Section 20. OF Rule II is slightly
changed to read There shall be no tack
ling, holding, pushing or body checking d
an opponent under any circumstances
Gfasping the clothing or person OF
player with one or both hands or putting
one or both hands about a player y in
terproted to mean holding.
The usual rule OF allowing a player bu
five seconds TO hold the ball out o
bounds II still in force. The rules gov
ernlng roughness and disqualiflcatlons re
main unchanged. one important rul,
which Is the same as that OF last seasoI
is the one that reads, "A man once re
moved from the game cannot play agaii
during the game" tr
Other changes are minor ones. The!
pertain chiefly TO slight changes IN tn,
workings OF some paragraphs and to pre-
senting clearer interpretations OF certain
clauses. Several superfluous words hav
been struck out OF some rules where IN,
meaning is obvious.
