Rules Committee Flags InterCol-
legiate League Teams.

The College Basketball Rules Committee
appointed by the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association ended its annual two days
session here yesterday, coming TO the con-
cIusion that. notwithstanding much criu-
cism Of the present rules, the game needed
no fundamental changes. The real trouble,
II was declared, lay In the failure OF GER
tain teams to obey the present rules, ana
most Of the criticism of,the game had come
from such teams The Eastern Intercol-
Iegiate League was pointed out as con
spicuous offender in this respect" and
resolution was adopted calling upon teams
in that league to adhere strictly to the
rules hereafter.
few changes were made, designed main
ly to make the game faster and less rough.
II was decided TO give the player but ten
seconds for free try for the basket after
the referee had placed the ball on the foul
mark. which is expected TO eliminate much
killing of time by the leading team. The
two-minute periods in the middle Of the
halves were abolished
The fundamental principle of the out-of-
bounds rule in the college game was de-
fined as requiring the ball to go to the near
est eligible player, as contrasted TO the
Amateur Athletic Union rule by which the
ball goes 70 the opposing side. The rules
regarding holding and blocking work were
also cleared. TO some extent. The mem
bers OF the committee believed that certain
Eastern teams paid too much attention to
holding opponents, instead OF playing the
struct officials to tighten up on holding and
blocking rules, so as to make the game
more OF an offensive one. The rule regard
ing the dribble was discussed at length, but
the committee decided it was too good a
play to lose.
DR. J.. J. Cooke, OF the University Of
Minnesota, reported that in the West bas-
ketball was continually gaining in popu-
larlty and that at the big games II was i'm
possible 10 accommodate all of those who
wished TO see the games Oswald Tower
of Williams College, reported that the game
was losing some Of its popularity in New
England, partly due to the fact that the
game was often played In such small gym
nasiums that roughness resulted from the
crowded conditions. and the game was usu-
ally unsuccessful financially because there
was usually not room enough 10 accommo-
date spectators. lie also charged that news
paper and magazine articles attacking the
game had had an effect in that section.

LET GRASS GROW ON LINKS
Early Opening Of Van Cortlandt
Park Course Deprecated.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While apprecating the interest the
Tribune so consistently takes in the grand
old game Of golf may | be permitted TO
dissent from the opinion expressed on your
sporting page on March q, that early open
ing of the Van Cortlandt Park links would
accord with It's character as a public
course? Perhaps it is just because Of its
public quality that Commissioner Higgins
prefers to give the grass a good start. AS
one who has PLAYED over the Van Cortlandt
links since 1903. I realize that it is the most
rsed course in the East and that the grass
needs a better start and better care than
the turf on the less used private courses.
Moreover, tho players at Van Cortlandt are
VIGOROUSLY turf butchers" and rarely dis
posed 10 replace divots-not always per
haps. because Of wilful CarelessneSs. but
rather because Of the necessity Of playing

mashie might leave long continuing scars.

ATHLETICS At COLUMBIA NO BASKETBALL CHANGES
Rice Thinks Well Of New Men in
the Varsity Eight.

Although only three men are eft or the
Columbia varsity eight that rowed at
Poughkeepse last June, the crew that Jim
Rice the coach hoated last week Is ap-
parently al this stage Of the season as
powerful a combination as has ever repre-
sented Columbia Its average weight IS less
than last years crew, but Rice believes IT
has just as much Drawn, and on the whole
Is well pleased with the prospects. He
doesn't think so well OF the freshman boat,
however, partly because of the fact that
the material is not up to last years stand
ard.
Despite the fact that the crews are more
than two weeks behind their schedule in
getting on the water, Rice plans to more
than make up for the work they nave loSl'
and during the coming week. when the uni
versity is to be closed for the Eastern re-
cess the oarsmen will be put through
long drill vita practice both in the morn
ing and afternoon. It was at first sug-
pested to keep the varsity squad at the
boathouse at Edgewater, but Rice decided
that inasmuch as they will have no studies
he can dispense with that part Of the pro-
pramme. After both the morning and af-
;ernoon rows the full squad Will be sent
on a run over the Palisades, and In this
way Rice believes that he can work the
men into tip top condition for the first OF
the early season races with Annapolis, now
only a little more than d month away.
Downing, who is at stroke in the
varsity combination, is, in Rice's opinion,
tho most polished oarsman that Columbia
has ever turned out, and he considers him
even better than Cerrusi, the remarkable
stroke of the 1907 and 1908 varsity eights.
Downing stroked the varsity at PouBh-
keepsie last wear and showed that he was
at least the equal, If not the peer. or any
stroke oar on the river. Miller, who Is at
No. 7. did not row last season, but in 1873
and 1910 he was in the varsity boat inc
first wear at No. and the second III the
seat he now occupies. l,atenser' VINO
