conclusion that. Notwithstanding
much criticism the present rules

lay In the failure OF certain teams 10

spicuous offender in this respect"
and resolution was adopted calling
upon the teams to adhere strictly to

A few changes were made. designed
mainly TO make the game faster and

free try for the basket after the ref
cree had placed the ball on the foul

much killing OF time by the leading
team. The two minutes rest periods

quiring the ball TO go to the nearest
eligible player as contrasted TO the
Amateur Athletic union rule, by
which the ball goes to the opposing

Such newspaper men as were In the
Nevada mining camp in the days
preceding the Gans-Nelson fight will
remember the turmoil which arose
when Nolan insisted on Cans weigh

not intend to spring this demand un-
til the day OF the contest. He took
for his basis OF argument old prize

that when Cans. who all along had

Anyhow, some one from Nelson's
camp talked too much. and news Of
what Nolan had up his sleeve got
around several days sooner than the
sbrewd manager Intended. Cans WAS
one OF the first to hear of it. and he
sent word 10 Tex Richard.

Tex spoke 10 Nolan, but Nolan was
determined.

thing like that?" asked Rickard,
