FREE THROWS
MAY BE- BANNED
Important Change in Bas:
ketball Rules Being
-. Considered.

New York, Nov. 9.-Plans calling
for the adjustment of the free foul
throw and possibly other changes in
the general scoring system are&now
under consideration by a 'sub-commit-
tee of the joint basketball rules. COM
mittee, it was learned yesterday from
a source close 10 the powers that be in
eastern basketball. Also, according to
the same authority, the deliberations
of the committee will be consider
ed officiaQytb the rules committee
when it, nneets at Columbia university
the latteRsspart of this week.
Almost Unanimous. /.
What decision the, Intercollegiate
Basketball hague itself will reach in
he matter will be learned after the
annual fall league meeting in this city
on November IL. Considerable senti-
ment exists among members of the
college league for a change. in the
scoring system and men prominent; in
the sport predicted yesterday. that the
intercollegiate organizations at least,
would probably insist on some modi-
tication of the present system h a al
; lows for a free throw after every foul.
Only the University Of Pennsylvania
is understood to be opposed to the
movement.
The activities of the rules commit
tee grew that the present alu of the
foul throw was p~reponderant in COM
parison with that of the field goal. 1t
was argued in college n amateur
circles the feeling and the college
league are the result of an agitation
that began last season. Both that two
successful tries from the foul line
should not have the same scoring
value as one field goal, and that the
solution suggested was either to make
the foul throw worth a half point. or
the field goal worth three points.
/ Would Award Half Point.
Another recommendation that is re-
ceiving careful consideration by the
rules committee is to set up a fiat pen
atty for each foul committed, giving a
half point to the team hat is the vic
tim of the violation and emitting the
try from the foul line.
Proponents of this idea argued that
basketball is of the very few
games where the infection of a pen
alts depends on the skill of the team
offended. Whether or not team "A.
will get the benefit Of a violation by
team M, it was pointed out, depends
exclusively on the skill and ability of
the foul thrower or team! A. In. this
connection it has been suggested that
as an alternative. the offending play
er be removed from the game for a
stated time, as in hockey. This,pro-
posal, however, is not likely to receive
prolonged consideration from the
rules committee. :
Won Through Fouls. J.
Opponents Of the foul throw rule
based their contention partly on the
situation that developed last season in
the intercollegiate Basketball league,
when the University of Pennsylvania,
possessed of a: skillful foul shooter,
had a low average of field goals, but
won the championship without being
seriously extended. The preponder-
ance of foul points in Pennsylvania's
total for the season was said by ad-
vocates Of the new rule to illustrate
the unfairness of the scoring system
in use at present. =

A NEW SLOGAN

The alumni OF Cornell University
have adopted a new slogan. 1t is:
Don't Just Get Educated-Keep
Educated" This is a good slogan,
and might be adopted by people gen.
orally.
Ones education is never cOmplet-
ed. New discoveries are constantly
being made; new information on var
ious lines Is constantly being made
available.
The man who wants to keep
abreast of the leaders in his trade or
business orr profession must keep
studying.
One cannot stand still. II one does
not keep advancing il will not he
long until one begins to go backward
This is just as true of education az
anything else.

THE SCRUBS ARE DYING or

THE SCRUBS ARE DYING OUT.
The scrub COW and the razor back
hog will soon be ais extinct as the
uoaO. People have learned that such
animals not only do not pay. but are
the most expensive animals that can
be kept.
Nobody wants a calf from a scrub
COW nor pig from razor back
hog.
But blOOded young stock are al
ways in demand and the prices for
them are increasing every year. The
better the breed the better prices
will be paid.
II is not at all uncommon for Il hog
breeder to pay from 81 900 to ST.
900 for promising young SOW. and
II is not uncommon for a fancy COW
or fancy bull to sell at from $4,000
on up.
IT doesn't cost any more to feed
and care for a pure bred COW or a
pure bred hog than II costs to keep
one of the scrub kind.
Why, then worry with the scrub ?
There is no answer to such a
question. and that is why the scru bs
are dying out.

WILL HOGS EAT ROLL WEEv1LS?

A story is going the rounds about
an Oklahoma farmer whose cotton
field became infested with boil
weevils early last summer. He
thought his crop was ruined, accord
ing to the story. and turned his hogs
into the field to Craze for a few
days until he could &c ready 10
plow up the cotton and plant some
other crop. The hogs did not bother
the cotton but ate the boil weevils
and throve and waxed fat thereon
Every boil weevil was destroyed
New squares and blooms came. on the
cotton stalks and produced bolls
which developed and matured and
opened, and the farmer made the
best crop Of cotton that he ever, had
in his life. 49,.
This is an interesting story, and II
is important IL II is true, But mind
you, Mr.. Reader, we make no guar.
srantee as to its truthfulness. It is
Just one OF the stories that Is going
the rounds Of the papers.

THE CRIMINAL INSANE

There is growing conviction in
the public mind that the courts are
too lenient with persons who plead
insanity when charged with crime.
OF course we do not want to punish
insane persons for crimes. for insane
persons are not responsible for their
acts.
But person who defends insanity
when charged with crime should be
locked up in some prison or asylum
Even II he RECEIVERS his mind he
should not he released, for there
would be no assurance that he would
not lose his mind again and commit
another crime. Life Imprisonment,
should be the invariable rule for
those whose only excuse for crime is
insanity.
II We ever adopt this principle, and
live up to it. there will be fewer
pleas of instantly in criminal cases
And. better still. there will be few.
er crimes.

thieves The senate has passed an
amendment to the net Of 1919. sena-
tor Nelson OF Minnesota said Of the
amendment:
THE only amendment proposed to
be made in the law is to put in the
word 'embezzlement.' so as to include
not only cases where the automobile
is stolen, but as well cases Of embez-
element. The distinction is very well
put by the Supreme court of the
United States in the case of Moore VS..
The United States GEO U. s., 269),
where the court says:
'Embezzlement is the fraudulent
appropriation of property by person
10 whom such property has been en-
trusted or into whose hands It has
lawfully come 1t differs from larceny
in the fact that the original taking of
the property was lawful or with the
consent of the owner, while in the case
of larceny the felonious intent must
have existed at the time of the taking
This bill simply proposes to amend
the law so as to cover those cases
where man may have hired an auto
mobile or may have come into possess
sion Of an automobile and afterward
concluded to embezzle IT,"
