RULES ARE THE SAME.
Collegiate and Amateur Codes for
Basketball Now Alike.

A committee appointed by the anna
teur athletic union to confer with the
college athletic authorities regarding
basketball announced at New York
that for the first time in the history of
that game the amateur and collegiate
rules this year viii be alike. This re-
suit was attained through a number of
open meetings held during the winter
and a mail vote.
The principal point of disagreement
was the dribble rule. The new uniform
rule now adopted is in substance as
follows: Dribbling will be permitted
and at the end of the dribble a player
will be allowed to throw for goal and
if he makes the goal it will count.
Heretofore the amateur rules did not
permit the scoring of a goal after a
dribble, but the amateur authorities
have conceded this point to the college
men, and in the future amateur teams
will permit this style of play.

about Uncle Sam being unable to raise two or

This, of course, is not true Uncle Sam can
do it, and while special taxation would un-
