Nd BIC CHANGES
IN 1918 RULES
Basketball Rules Same This
Year as Last With Exception
of New End Zones

The 191S-1919 official basketball
rules contain no changes over last
years rules with the exception of the
end zones which may be added to
courts this year As most of the
courts are not large enough to allow
such a laying out OF the playing field
and as the old way of having the end
lines has become popular, this new
proviso will nave but little effect ON
the playing game. Unless the court
Is laid out as specified In this years
rules the players must go by the rules
In force last year-that Is that they
are out of bounds as soon as they
ocefstep either END line. The new
end zones this year make it possible
to be two feet out of h old n
bounds and still keep the ball in play.
Where the backboards are placed
against the wall this system cannot
be used.
The end zone is a rectangle extend
ing the full width of the court and
two feet in depth. Last year this
zone was in the form of an arc with
q two foot radius extending ont from
under the basket. Play in this zone
is governed as follows:
When the ball is In play In this
zone il is in bounds except in the case
of a held ball.
When il is held ball in his zone it
liz out OF bounds ana given TO tue ne
tending team to put n play from
out OF pounds.
The rules regarding jump ball and
dribbiing are the same this year as
last. The two men between whom
the ball Is being thrown need not
jump unless instructed to do so by
the referee, thus making IL possible
for ore of the men to jump back
when the referees whistle blows and
A,.r -. Zs4nnaec tho nthar man nv Hpt-
ting into position to receive the ball.
The ball cannot be caught on the
Jump but IL a player first taps it he
may then catch 1t.
Shooting is allowed at the end of n
dribbie but a player must pass the
ball nj the end of one dribble before
he car start another. A dribble ceases
to be such as o O as a player touches
the ball with both hands.
