BASKETBALL rules have undergone
many changes this year. The rules
committee has made many alterations
in the style of play, but now there is
one set of rules which will govern all
games instead of many sets.
The game as played this season will
be more like that INDUCED in under the
A A u. rules which governed playing
of collegiate teams. The new code just
issued cites the changes.
Here are some of them:
Dribbling must be continuous. The
instant the ball is touched by both
hands or comes to rest even rnomen-
tarily in one hand it must be passed.

show me a player that has become

you will find that he has a table in his
home and gains confidence at attempt
ing to master the masse from the fact
that he does not care if he causes in
jury to the table or cloth; hence he is
empowered with confidence after a
number Of attempts and soon becomes
confident that he can control his cue
when attempting these short strokes
with powerful drive.

masse such as could not be obtained
by holding the bridge hand in any POI
sftfon on the table. BY using the off
hand masse stroke the player can hit
the cue ball with such force as to drive
the ball the entire length Of the table
and return without striking the cush-
ions or any object balls.
The accompanying illustrations will
help to explain the text.
Delicate Nursing Stroke.-In i1lustra-
ton No. 2 is pictured the bridge most
often called into play. 1t is used for
the delicate nursing stroke. The heel
of the hand and the finger tips rest
firmly on the bed of the table with
knuckles elevated and thumb extended.
The cue, slippinS easily between the
hand and the thumb, finds a solid rest

for the balk line.

language the bridges I have found to
be the most effective and easiest to
master. Almost ell new players grasp
the butt of the cue with the stroke hand
as though they were handling an ak,
their idea being that this is necessary
to get force in the stroke. Here they
are dead wrong, and they defeat the
very end they seek.
To gain this force-or stroke as it is
caIled-there must be absolute freedom
of action and the cue must be held in
a Light almost loose, manner. Speed
does not COME from brute strength of
the body, but results entirely from the
wrist and forearm. One may readily
see that to hold the cue tightly with all
four fingers and thumb the wrist is of
necessity stiffened, and it, is impossi-
BILE to get any freedom of action into
the stroke. "a

OUR DEAR ENEMIES

If we may safely base our judgment
on the observations of the past few
days and nights, the Idaho spirit has
not waned perceptibly, nor has the
love of Idahoans for their dear en-
emies, the Pullmanites. That the
dope, so far, indicates a sweeping vic
tory for w. S. c. tomorrow, seems to
have no tendency to diminish local
interest in the game. Notwithstand-
ing precepts to the contrary, our re-
gard for the Pullmanites is based on
our love of a fight with them. And
that isn't such a mean regard, either.
We are reminded, in that connection

an inquiry as to the identity of his
favorite girl friend, named his sister,

OLD AND NEW WAY
TO TREAT CATARRH
Breathing a Germ Killing Air En-
d0rsed by Actual Results

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
| treatment OF catarrh
Prior to three years ago the med
icines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were drugs, sprays, To-
| tionS, etc. In some instances they
benefited, but the improvement was
not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of your throat and head a
balsamic air that goes into the min
utest cells, and should effectually kill
all germs and microbes of catarrh. It's
purpose is to enter the blood with the
oxygen, killing the germs in the
blood, and restore health to the whole
system. Many astonishing testimon-
ials have been received from those
who have been helped by Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suf-
ficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Perhaps The strongest evidence
that can be given to doubters, is the
fact that r. Hodgins has SO much faith
in Hyomei that he sells every pack
age under a positive guarantee to re-
fund the money if it does not relieve.
