case, as in guarding from the rear.p
the player behind is usually respon.

to call It an unavoidable accident
than accuse a mar Of playing dirty

MY impression Is that 80 per cent
Of the Misunderstanding between
part of the crowd and the referee
arises from the fact that certain
luminaries feel better qualified to In
terpret the rules than the referee
himself. And perhapB they are. for
it is quite possible TO see a play in
divergent lights, and thus render a
decision at variance with that OF the
official. But 1t is also possible that
r play Is often criticised by n
whose knowledge OF the rule cover.
ing 1t does not qualify him to speak
and. as a result. an u~nfavorable at.
mosphere is created for the official.
There are none OF us infallible. and
all the referees ask from the crowd
IS tolerance, for they are doing their
hest and viii continue to do so. If
that is Unsatisfactory. It would seem
a better plan to direct q letter to
the head OF the league setting forth
he grievances. But I do not be-
lleve the problem has assumed such
monstrous proportions as to require
pressure from public opinion to af-
feet a change.

l5.Br appended to the Official rules:
Although basketball is theoreti-
cally a "no-contact" game, 1t is OBJ
vious that personal contact cannot
be avoided entirely when ten play
ers are moving with great speed over
a limited playing space. For in
stance. the ball is free; two oppon-
ents start quickly for the ball and
collide. The personal contact may
be serious. yet If both were in fav-
orable positions from which to get
the ball, and were intent only upon
getting 1t, an unavoidable accident.
and not a foul occur On the
other hand. IL one player is about
