A. A. j. RULES
To OBTAIN
SUNDAY
Palace and Brooklyn Will
Play Under Code at
Arcade

Though the adoption of the
A. A. U. rules, as the official play
ing code, the American Professional
Basketball League, which will inau-
gurate its home season at the Ar
cade Sunday might with a : game
between Washington and Brooklyn,
aims to eliminate much OF the foul
ing which has marked many games
in the paid" set.
Under the amateur code, foul
when committed inside the seven
teen-foot mark, is doubly damag-
ing. 1t entities the player fouled
to two free throws Thus it win no
longer avail defending player any
thing to foul his opponent in an
effort to prevent him from scoring
from the court.
The A. A. u. regulations further
prescribe that a player guilty of
four personal fouls must leave the
game. Under the circumstances
the athletes must be extremely
careful, and their fouling will I'M
doubtedly be cut 20 a minimum.
The other marked difference be-
tween the amateur and PRO" rules
concerns dribbling. A simon.pure
is permitted to use but. one hand
in dribbling and once he discon-
tiIfues it cannot again resume. He
must either shoot for the basket or
pass the ball to team-mate. This
regulation puts premium on team
work and passing ability, and on
that account add to the games
attractiveness.
Basketball sharps here will see
the test OF the A. A. U. rules in
professional basketball on Sunday
night The majority of the Wash
ington fans who made the trip to
Brooklyn last Sunday night to see
the opening game returned home
convince that the game was much
speedier under the simon pure code
and produced better basketball
Indications point to record at
the opening game here, judging by
the first days sale of tickets.
The game promises to be as
closely contested as the opener in
Brooklyn when the Palace five was
forced into an extra five-minute
period to win. Garry Schmeelk,
who managed the Washington team
last season, has welded together a
corking good club In Brooklyn.
Garry had to do some stepping to
get q team together, as Brooklyn
was the last city to get franchise.
Schmeelk, however, knows almost
every basketball player in the game,
and he soon signed up a flock of
players that promise to make things
merry for the other clubs.
