Dribble Rule is
in the Limelight

The much mooted ''dribble" rule Is
again In the local sport nmelight and
Judging from the diversity OF opinion
which Il Ia causing among Omaha fol-
lowers Of the floor game, 1t Is going to
be subject Of considerable interest dur
ing the remainder Of the season.
Nearly all OF the local basket bail fans
and players are In favor Of this feature
OF the popular indoor sport. but there
is a wide difference Of opinion as to how
the rule should be enforced. Most local
authorities of the sport agree that the
rule should be altered somewhat In order
to allow more freedom Of play while
''dribbling." instead OF the one hand rule
which is now used.
They suggest changing the rule to allow
the players to 'dribble" with two hands
at any time during the game Only one
Of the Omaha clan favors allowing
players to shoot basket after dribbiing
the ball across the floor.
II is rumored that the "dribbIe" rule
will undergo a complete revision at the
annual conference Of the amateur rules

Basket Ball Quite
Popular at the q. s.

Basket ball Is proving more popular
than ever this year at the Omaha High
school and at present q total Of forty
five lads are playing the game. either on
the regular quintet. with class fives or a.
msmbers Of teams entered In the Tri-
city league.
Hitherto the floor game has always
been popular among the lads. but never
until this year has the regular quintet
shown up so strong As q result the
whole school has caught the craze. and
IN proportion to It's established popularity
II is proving better drawing card than
foot ball.
From a financial standpoint the sport
Is also a success. UnlIke foot ball there
is only = small expense incurred In keep
ing Up the game.
In addition to tina regular quintet at
the school now there are four class fives
representtng the seniors, juniorx sopho-
mores and freshmen Considerable rivalry
has bean aroused between the Glasses and
all Of the teams have already played their
nrst game.

The cornhuskers win go first to Ames,
where they play the Angles February n
and q. at the Ames gymnasium. The
Huskers will then 30 to Drake for two
games on February . and a. The race
in the northern half is q pretty one be-

Pueblo Did Not Pick
Hughes as Manager

Pueblo fans were greatly surprised when
Il was announced that George Hughes
has been elected 10 manage the Wichita
team this season. They had expected all
along that AL Shaw would be given tho
berth and the Pueblo papers have ex-
pressed the opinion that mistake has been
made. while Shaw "a an experienced and
capable player, and would make a good
manager. II Is likely that Hughes viii
prove equally capable. With Hughes
handling the daily warfare Of the team on
the field and George MeMulien. former
secretary. attending TO the business end.
II appears that Wichita has a team Of
baseball generals which win make the
club bowling success II the support Of
the fans at home Is forthcoming. And
there seems 20 be no doubt that such Will
