UNIFORMITY IN
BASKETBALL RULES
New Set Governs Both Amateur Ath-
letic Union and Collegiate Style
-Four Fouls Disqualifes

Basketball should enjoy its greatest
season this winter. The new set of
rules which govern both the Amateur
Athletic union and the collegiate style
of play ought to prove big boost
The changes will not only liven up
the game, but viii be of great help to
the coaches of the big universities and
colleges. A nigh school player, who
expects to take up basketball when he
enters a university, will not have to be
drilled through the collegiate style of
play under the new rules. He will be
taught the game under the present code
while at high school and Will have the
experience to jump right in and play
with the big teams at his college. Fol
lowing are a few of the changes made
in the rules:
After a dribble a shot for goal is per
mitted. In the course of a dribble the
ball MAJ be touched simultaneously
with both hands, even though the drib
bic was started with both hands. All
the instant the ball in the course of q
dribble is touched simultaneously by
both hands or comes to rest in one hand
the dribble terminates and the bal
must then be passed to another player
or thrown for the goal.
/ A player is disqualified for commit
ting four personal fouls. On social
cd ''iump ball the jumpers must KEEP
one hand behind the back. Neither
may catch the ball until it has beer
! handled by another player.
| In the situation commonly known az
"sthree men in' a foul is committed
/ only when the third player charges il
and makes bodily contact with an op
! ponent The contact may be very
Slight, however, and may be accidental
| In fact it is difficult for the third play
| er to come in without causing contact
vet it should be borne in mind tina
three players having hands on the bal
does not in itself constitute foul.
On a free trial for goal, as soon a
the ball hits the basket or background
PLAYERS may enter the free throw lane
This is expected to he an improvement
on both sets of old rules in that tn
time of entering the lane is made def
mite.
When the referee has awarded tn
ball to a player out of bounds, an op
| ponent may not touch it and so checI
the play until his teammates have GOV
cred their opponents. This rule if rig
idly enforced will eliminate one of til
most unsportsmanlike features Of tn
| game.
