urged to attend the meeting. The

discussed and an official interpreted
ton will be given of any point which
may be raised.
The demonstration game. which Is
to show the practical application Of
the rules, will afford an unusual OPP
portunity to determine the desirable
standards that officials should reach.
For many years past such a game
has been talked of. but has failed to
naterialize. The staging of the con-
test at the Naval Academy IL well
within reach of Washington and
Baltimore men, and II is expected that
every basketball official and coach
in the District will find the time to

pretative game and discussion Of the
rules there is. participated in by more
than two hundred men. There is
every indication that between Wash
ington and Baltimore there Is a wide
divergence OF opinion in the matter of
officiating and coaching.
Recently teams coming from Balti-
more have complained Of the differ
ence Of officiating between that city
and Washington. The Baltimore

Changes Necessary.
The rules committee Il changing
but few OF the rules this year. Foot.
ball, II is understood, win undergo
practically no alterations as far as
rules are concerned. Basketball too
Is to be let alone for this season, al.
though several minor changes are ex-
pected to make for the betterment OF
the game.
What changes appear this year are
for the purpose of clarifying rules and
1t is thought that In the early season
games much good has been accom-
plished thus far In freeing the game
from roughness. ..
The only and most serious difficulty
confronting basketball at present Is
the scheme for penalties for infrac
tons Of the rules, These attractions,
according to the subcommittee Of tho
ioint committee on basketball rules,
Joint committee on basketball rules
fall into two classes, those included
under the general head Of advancing
the ball and those involving personal
contact.
The subcommittee Is writing all
over the country for suggestions az 10
penalties for the two classes OF In
fractions OF the rules and Ia to make
some pertinent suggestions for next
season. The infliction OF penalties In
the ordinary game consumed on an
average Of from six to ten minutes as
much as one fourth Of the actual
playing time.
Some means to keep the ball in con-
tinuous motion or to get action
throughout forty minutes OF play
probably Will be devised, although but
few of the suggestions offered carry
weight.

thoroughly discussed.
