NEW BASKETBALL
RULE OVERRULED

Strong objection to several new rules
formulated by the intercollegiate bas-
ketball committee for this years com
petition, developed at the annual in
depreciation meeting at the Astor hotel
in New York. In several cases coaches,
captains, PLAYERS and officials presented
such arguments against the adoption or
the desired regulations that even the
members of the committee agreed to
have them interpreted differently than
had been their intention.
The change that aroused the most
discussion was the rule stating that
when ball is put into play from either
the center or from the side lines,
PLAYER commits q foul when he merely
faces an opponent, whether he blocks
him bodily or not. According to DR..
chairman OF the rules committee, this
drastic action had been taken because
the committee felt that it was the
fundamental principle OF the game for
man 10 play ball, not his opponent, and
that in facing his rival player showed
intent of interfering with his progress.
Led bv al" Sharpe, the Cornell
coach, the delegates attacked this con-
teution, insisting that 1t was natural
for a player to face his opponents ana
that It was possible for him TO DO so
Wlthoul lnterISllu2 Win ho .non Lag
paIly. There wins no reason, they said,
why man should not have the. priv
lepe of facing any way he pleased
After an hours debate it was decided
by the members Of the committee 70
change the rule TO read that it Is lille
raI only 70 come in bodily contact with
an opponent when facing him.
Another objection was raised over
new clause requiring centers, In jump
ne for the ball on the faee-off, 20 keep
,ne hand behind their backs until the
ball is touched. The point was ad-
RANGED that this could not be done
without interfering with the jump, but
practical demonstration before the
showed that il could be done,
md the objection was overruled.. As
he requirement is q new one, it was
Igreed 10 allow q player a second
hance after every offenBe before call

irst infraction Of the rule viii merit
