Would Alter Basketball
Rules for Girl Ouints

Lawrence. Kan, March 11.-A new form
or women's basketball, similar to the
style played in the mems game, has been
invented by the originator of basket ball.
Dr James Naismith, head of the depart
ment OF physical education at Kansas
University. and Miss Helen Pratt, instruc-
TOR In physical training for women. The
game has been tried and it is believed
that the new form will prove popular
The main change in the rules of the
game is the elimination Of the lines that
were used for separating forwards, CEN
ters and guards. In the new game but
one line will cross the court, In the GEN.
ter. The centers will be allowed to play
all over the court, but the guards must
stay on one side Of the line and the for
wards on the other. Guards and centers
viii also be permitted to throw goals in
this game, which they could not do under
the old rules.
The reason for the change is largely
due to the demand from the high schools
for some uniform court so that there
would be no confusion OF the rules when
the courts are either smaller or larger
than the one visiting team is using to
play on. As soon as the details OF the
new game have been worked out, PAM
phlets explaining the game will be is
lsued and sent cut to high schools.

LOCAL GOLFERS Will
MEET TOMORROW night
Championship Event Will Be the Main
Topic Brought Up for Discussion.

The annual meeting of the District Of
Columbia Golf Association will be held
Tuesday evening at the Commercial Club
at which time officers for the coming
season Will be elected and plans made
The association had planned to take
up the question OF holding a professional
tournament at this meeting but in view
OF the fact that the Columbia Country
Club has already announced an event Of
this Kind 1t is understood that the matter
will be tabled" for 1917 at least.
Probably the most important thing
to be decided at this meeting is the
manner and place of the championship
event. Both the match and medal play
events have been held and there seems
to be some doubt as to which is the
better. Last year. the Washington Coli
and Country Club was given to under
stand. by inference. at least. that II
would be awarded the tourney this year
and il Is counting on holding 1t but It
Is understood that Chevy Chase intends
making bid for IL. Adherents of the lat
ter club claim that The Washington club !;
course is not so good as that OF Chevy
Chase. This is no doubt true but as the
object or holding ti.ese tituIar events
and organizing the District Association
was to promote good +. iowsh'p. W. q. and
c. c. followers insist that their course
is good test of golfers ability and
that good fellowship can be promoted
as well there as at any other club.
The clubs will be represented by the
following delegates: Chevy Chase. Nor
ven Thompson; Columbia, Alpheus Win
ter: Washington Golf and Country Club,
George E. Truett, and Bannockburu,

LOOMS ACCUSED OF
Using HANDS Freely
Claim Made Chicasoan Resorted to
Sharp Practice to Beat Brewer.

Brooke Brewer, the local boy. who runs
under the colors of Maryland Agricul-
tural College, was forced to relinQuish
the trophy emblematic of the fifty-yard
dash champion at the indoor games held
under the auspices of the Meadowbrook
Athletic Club. Saturday night, in Phila-
delphia.
But there are many who witnessed the
race that today are freely expressing the
opinion that Joe Loomis the famous Chi
cago Athletic Association sprinter. freely
used his arms in gaining the verdict over
the Washington boy.
If Loomis was guilty Of such un-
sportsmanlike tactics and was able to
get by with 1t without the judges OF
the meet detecting him, then the Illi-
nois speed merchant should by all means
be the subject of close observation in all
races he participates in hereafter.
That the games were the most suo-
cessful ever held under the Meadow
brook A. c. goes without saying. One
worlds record was surpassed and two
were equaled. In the mile open John w

One fact was plainly brought home to
the lovers of track athletics and that
was that Ted" Meredith stands in a
class by himself at the 660-yard dis
tance. For the third successive time the
great runner has won this feature event
OF the Philadelphia clubs games-the
'Meadowbrook 6so." In again winning

a handicap of feet inches, won the
pole vault in the games held by George

and Saturday night with a handicap of 3
feet inches he finished second, beating
some OF the classiest pole vaulters of
the country.
Jimmy Chapman. the only other local
man to win a place, made a great ef-
fort to breast the tape first in the 600

finish in one of the most gruellinx races
