new RULES FOR BASKETBALL
Make Game Faster and Cleaner, Says
Chairman of Committee.

Princeton. N. j, Oct. 3O.-New
foul rules of the intercollegiate bas-
ketball league will tend to make the
game faster and cleaner, DIR. J. F.
Raycroft of Princeton university,
chairman of the special rules commit
tee, said today.
The first rule provides a goal zone
of II feet in depth at each end of the
basketball court. Fouls committed in
this goal zone will be penaiized by CIV
ing two free throws instead of one
hitherto awarded TO the team fouled.
A second foul rule eliminates the
free throw award for so-called tech
meal fouls. These include running
with the ball, violation of the dribble
rule, violation of the jump at center
and kicking the ball. AS substitute
for this free throw, the ball will be
taken from the fouiing team and
given to the other team to put into
play at the side lines.
Another rule eliminates the time
consumed for making free throw for
goal thus making the game faster,
declared Doctor Raycroft.

Careful This Fall.

Topekans must take great precau.
ton with put of doors fires from now
until the fsnow flies if they wish to
prevent serious CONGREGATIONS. This
statement made today by Chief Joseph
Hanlon, of the fire department, is a
warning to Topekans.
The fire hazard now is greater than
at any other period of the year on &C.
count of the great amount Of rubbish,
dry leaves and dead grass on residence
property, he said Every citizen should
remove the leaves. rubbish and dead
grass from their property and burn It
on a calm day, Chief Hanlon stated.
1t is permissible to burn the leaves
and grass in the streets, as il will
cause no damage TO the pavement. but
rubbish must be burned elsewhere, he
said.
All vacant lots covered with dead
grass and weeds should be burned by
means of a backfire, he said The
grass fires could very easily wipe out
an entire neighborhood in case they
received q good start on windy day,

SOUTHWEST PASTURES SHORT
Santa Fe Reports That Cattle Are
Starving in New Mexico,


The Santa Fe railroad is employing
freight and stock cars on its lines,
numbering into the thousands, in the
humanitarian work of getting starry
ing stock out of pastures in the south
west which were burned out by the
drought of the past summer.
Thousands of cattle, particularly in
Mexico are starving on account of the
shortage of pasture there. The Santa
Fe made a voluntary reduction of SO
per cent in it's freight rates to assist
the owners of the cattle to remove
them either to market or to localities
where pasturage is still sufficient to
support them.
The cattle are moved from New
Mexico to Colorado and Kansas-par-
ticularly into the Arkansas valley-at
half the usual freight rates.
The same reduction has applied to
the hundreds of cars of mill feed
which have been shipped into New
Mexico and west Texas to supplement
the pastures which have been burned
out there.
Some of the stock raisers could not
ship all their cattle out to market
they had to retain breeding stock,
]. r. KoontZ, assistant freight traffic
manager of the Santa F'e, said. "They
couldn't afford to pay full rates for
the shipment of the animals or the
feed to save their lives, and from the
humanitarian as we'll as the business
standpoint, we couldn't leave the cat
| tie there to starVe."
The work of rescuing the cattle
even il they are rescued" from starry
alton to meet a quick death in packing
plants, has been going on for days.
Koontz believes that it will be fin
fshed in from a week to ten days
more, however.

Governor Allen Urges Kansans to OBJ
serve Saturday, November II.

Governor Allen has issued a procla-
nation designating Saturday, Novem-
Der IL, as Armistice day. In urging
observance of the day, the governor
said:
Reverent gratitude for the, four years oil
peace which have followed the war that
rent the world will be renewed and re-ex-
pressed on the fourth anniversary OF the
signing of the armistice. America, the
peace loving and peace defending nation of
the world, will rededicate herself and her
people in the cause of democracy for which
her sons and daughters fought and worked
with unparalleled valance and sacrifice.
Four years of national peace have not
dulled the memory of the horrors of con-
flict. Passing time has left no tarnish on
the multitude of hearts that poured forth
their prayers of rejoicing when the i'm
PIGMENTS of destruction were silenced in
November, 1918. Sacred to every American
and every-kansan is that memorable dOcu-
ment which said to the nations of the world
that right is greater than might; that law
that barbarism and the savagery of the
ages before civilization shall have no place
in the modern world. Happy with hope,
yet fearful in suspense, the people of these
signing and sealing of the great document.

as life lasts that great day of days

for fitting observance and proper celebra-
ton. Saturday, November IL, 1922, as the
fourth anniversary of the signing of the
armistice. May our thoughts turn to justice
and peace and well-being to the honorable
and humane conduct of affairs for self and
others; to the enthroning of right; to the
establishment of justice; to the supremacy
of law; to the dethroning of force and
greed and selfishness.

to the day will emphasize again the ever

at Lake View.

1t was an ideal morning on Lake
View.
Far down the lake from the club

crouched expectantly in the blind. Up
the lake in the mist came Ralph
and city attorney. and his hunting
companion, ''Walkie" Updegraff.
They were rowing. IN the boat
We're guns and ammunition. 1t was
a long pull to the faxerite stopping

AS they neared the blind O'Neil

formed his companion. Quickly they
made the transfer and Updegraff pad
died silently, his oar dipping grace
fully into the water.
In the PROV sat O'Neil, expectantly,
nervously awaiting his chance. A half
dozen times he raised his gun and as
many times Updegraff whispered to
him to wait a minute longer.
Nearer they approached the game
so near that the mallards doomed up
in all their beauty.
It was a pot shot!
Let 'em have it," Updegraff ex-
ploded.
O'Neil pulled the trigger-but the
safety was on. He was so positive
of the kick that he nearly fell out of
the boat Still the game floated
serenely on. Again he raised his gun.
Boomi Boom! A thousand shot tore
up the water and mallards tipped and
bobbed in the water.
O'Neil heard a familiar laugh-a
laugh that is known from the first to
the nineteenth hole at the Country
club. Turning around he saw Upde-
graft spread out in wriggling glee in
the boat Then he heard the yells
of Jill. Hayes and Bob Pierce from
the blind.
The smoke cleared and he saw the
mallards dancing on the waves.

only car remaining(fn the race when
might have taken third money, but
NE gave up with four laps to go.
The 25-mile event was the feature
of the afternoon and the fifty laps
sorely tried the quality of the cars.
Harold Roller, of Abilene, who had
with his handsome Dodge special,
lrolled' into the pits after only a few
laps. Fred Raemer, of Topeka, driv-
ing Chevrolet, soon followed.
Koepke developed a wobbly wheel
about the fifteenth lap and rolled into
the pit The wheel was changed in
forty seconds and he was back into
the race, losing scarcely a lap. But
only three cars were able to Withstand
the pace and Roger, who had trailed
along for good part of the time, at
last came up and COPIED the pay en-
velope.
Roller won the 1O-mile free-for- all
for a purse of 500. In this race
Harries took second money and John
B. Gerber. of Meriden, driving a Chew
rolet, was third. Roller had little
trouble taking this event, in 11:54 is.

to get him better than third money,
for Roller came up in the last lap and

THE track record of 1905 set during
