NEW BASKETBALL RULE
MAKES SCORING EASIER
College and Amateur Teams Must
Have Arc Boundary Line Back
of Baskets

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.--lntcrpreta-
tions of the new playing code recently
arranged by the Joint Basketball Rules
Committee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association and the Amateur
Athletic Union were explained at a meet
ing of delegates OF the three orGaniza-
tions named at the Astor Hotel last
night. DIR. Joseph L. Raycroft, chairman
of the committee. presided.
1t was announced that the one import.
ant modification Of the rules relates TO
the course itself. 1t has been the eX-
perience Of the committee that player
frequently has been deprived of we'll
earned field goal because In throwing the
ball his foot touched the boundary line.
Often there is a serious question of
doubt in the referees mind as to whether
a player is In or out of bound on close
play under the basket. Accordingly the
Rules Committee has add ID an extension
10 the end boundary line in the form of
an arc of a circle with an extension OF
two feet at it's greatest width directly
back OF the basket. Thus the entire
blackboard Is within bounds and on the
floor the player has an additional lee
way of two feet under the basket This
change, IL was stated. Is an experiment.
Where the end boundary line Is a wall
this extension does not apply and the
end will be the straight line as hereto
fore.
DR.. Joseph T.. Raycroft, director Of
athletic activities in the army camps.
announced to the gathering of basket
ball men last night that basketball
would be more extensively played this
winter than ev'r before He stated that
already more than 400 teams were play
1 ing in the camps. and soon this number
would be greatly increased. 1t has also
been taken up at the naval camps and
bids fair, he said. to be the most popular
pastime and exercise for the men In the
