BASKETBALL RULES
ARE MUCH CHANGED

Chicago. Ill. Dec. 4.-The following
is a condensation Of the important
changes made in the basketball rules
which are in force this season:
I-Roughlng 2 player who is in the
act OF shooting, gives opponents two
free throws; goals also count if made.
z-It is a foul for a player to come
il bodily contact with either OF two
players who are in q scrimmage, but he
may snatch the ball away.
Stunning with bal-A player who
receives the ball while standing may.
in throwing for goal, take one step and
then jump, without fOuling- A player
who changes his position without ma
terially advancing the ball is not con-
sicered TO be running with the ball. a
player pushed by an opponent is not
considered as advancing tine ball. When
running he may stop as soon as pos
sible," and then play the ball as though
he had been standing still

PROPOSES
REAL BIG SERIES

John CAMEL. manager Of the Brook
Ign Federal baseball team. is motoring
from Rochester. n. Y. to Honolulu.
via san Francisco and Seattle. with his
family and meehaniciaH. CAMEL states
that in his belief the contest between
the Boston Red sox and the Philadel-
phia Nationals did not properly decide
world baseball honors.
The pennant winners in the leading
league Of the country should be en-
titled to a chance at the big rag" de-
clared the veteran of the diamond The
mere fact that the winners in the
American and National leagues hook
Up each year in a so-called world
champio 6ehip series doesn't necessar-
ily prove that they are the fastest
teams In the country.
"A series could be arranged between
the winning teams on the Pacific coast,
those in the middle west. those along
the Mississippi and so on throughout
the country. 4 similar elimination
contest could be held in the east, and
then the two winners in the eastern
an dwestern sections, or whoever hap
pened 10 remain, would settle the
championship"

POE MASTERED
FOOTBALL CANE
Former Princeton Star,
Killed in France, Never
Fumbled or Missed.

san Francisco. Calf, Dec. s.-Ac-
cording to his classmates. the playing
fame OF John P Poe. the former
Princeton football star. who recently
was killed during a charge in north
ern France of the Black Watch regi-
ment OF which he was a member. was
due largely to his thorough mastery
Of the rudiments of. the game, a de-
tail upon which some coaches and
players are prone to lay too little stress
in their endsavors to think up strategy.
Poe was z deadly tackler, and surer
than taxes when it came to catching
a kicked or passed ball Former. col
lege mates of Poe recall that they
often would find him in his room
throwing the ball into a pile OF pii-
lows and sefa cushions in order to
perfect his accuracy in passing. He
precticed catching by throwing the
bah high against the side of the build
ing and taking 1t on the rebound
Never FursshIed or Missed Tackle.
Poe learned to appreciate the part
that 1umbled ball or a missed tackle
has played in the history of football
and he never ceased his drill in these
elemeRtals at any time during the sea
Those who watched Poe in his play
ing days are unable to recall that he
ever was guilty of g muff or a missed
tackle During the playing season he
relIgiously began and ended the daily
practice period by tackling the dummy
from six to a dozen times

they were simply going through their
ten round stunt to get. the money.
I doubt whether such was the case
They became so accustomed TO meeting
one another and knew each others
style so we'll that IL was a hard mat
ter for either one Of them to gain a
decisive victory.
Even in this case there was little
to choose between them. According to
most OF the papers. although McNey
was given credit of having the shade,
It was a hard battle all the way, and
there could be no mistaking the idea
that they We're out to win If they
could The management of the show
had announced that the money would
be refunded if the people were not
satisfied with the contest There was
not even one request for a rain check"
Langford seems to be going backwards
a little and it seems now as If McVey
had the edge on the famous tar baby"
Blow Hart Latter.
Usually, when boxer delivers
blow that carries 4 great deal Of
weight with it and lands hard on his
the count Of ten. However, Len Row
lands, the Milwaukee welterWeight
tells Of an experience he had at New
Orleans a year ago when Just the re-
verse occurred Len was fighting
New Orleans welterweight by the name
of Young Denny before the club run
by Dominick TortOrich- 1t was a Is
round contest and the boys started Off
at a very fast pace. In the fourth round
Denny landed a wild swing back OF
RoWland's ear.
Len says that he did not feel the
blow at the time and kept right on
fighting for fully half a minute Then.
all of a sudden, while he was standing
in position to box and Denny was
about to get away from him, he began
to get very dizzy. It was all he could
do 70 keep from falling 10 the canvas
and it was only because he backed
against the ropes. which seemed to
hold him for. a minute and gave him
a little strength. that he was able to
keep his feet and the bell sounded
Just in time TO keep him from going
down The one minute recess seemed
to bring him around in good shape
and he went out in the fifth round and
was able to fight Denny all over the
ring IN fact he improved so much from
that time on that he was finally award
ed the decision at the end of the 18th
round Len is still wondering why he
did not go down when he got the wal
lop back OF his ear. for he said il
hurt him all Of the next day.
