CHANGE IN RULES
SPEEDS UP GAME
ONE FREE THROW IN ALL CASES
EXCEPT WHERE MAN WITH
BALL is FOULED

A number of changes have been
made in basketball rules this year.
Coach Murray of Marquette, finished
with football and occupied with his
court men, took off enough time at
practice Monday to explain the new
rules.
The goal zones have been abolished
Under last years rules the court was
divided into three areas. Fouled in
either of the, two end zones, player
was given two free throws.
In j.;.:oe OF thu: the new rule gives
the offended player only one free
throw, NJ matter On what part of The
floor he is fouled. This applies in all
cases except those in which the man
with the ball is fouled. If the offense
is committed against him he receives
two free throws
Officials Have More Authority
Officers are invested with greater
authority. They have the power now
to disqualify al player for any fragrant
violation of the rules. In this strict
sense, the rule enables an official to
throw a man from the game for block
ing, tripping. pushing, charging or
holding.
A player is no longer required to
hold his hand behind his back on a
jump ball While the rule on this is
abolished, another lis substituted
which makes it a personal foul to in
terfere in any way with an opponent
while the ball is in the air between
them
The free, throw line, formerly only
18 inches long, now runs completely
across the free throw circle. A player
may stand at any point along and
back of this line to make his toss.
On jump ball that is tapped by
both players and is knocked out of
bounds, the ball is brought back to
the spot at which it was first thrown
up. Under last years rules, it was
tossed up at a point near the boun.
Diary line.
Center Ball After Free Throw
Whether or not a free throw is
made after technical foul, the ball
is now put in play at the center of
the floor Players, therefore. may re
lax for moment while the attempt
is made. In this connection, time is
taken out during the free throw.
This years game will have whole
lot more speed because of the rule
that keeps a ball in play if it strikes
the edges of the blackboard and re
bounds into the court. A ball of this
kind last year was given out of
bounds and was given to the oppos-
ing team as an "out."

ArgOnne Easy Victims;
LaOna Here Fri. Night
LOCAL BOYS WON 35 TO 2-GIRLs
z TO THERE LAST WEEK.
HARD GAME FRIDAY

Both Girls and Boys teams made a
trip to Argonne last Friday night to
play that High School, Eagle com.
pletely outclassed Argonne in both
games in spite of the fact that Ketz,
Eagles star forward was not in the
game. The Boys game was fast in
spite of the one sided score of 35 to
2. One of the features of the game
was Gloyd's spectacular basket shoot
ing. He made eight baskets and one
free goal during the game putting
them in from any distance and from
all directions. Giese was close sec
ond with a total of six baskets. The
local guards showed a decided i'm
provement over the Wabeno game, al
lowing Argonne only one basket and
that one made from distance.
The girls beat Argonne at their own
game, that is, playing girls rules. 1t
was the first time that the local girls
played girls rules but it did not
phase them in the least as they de-
feated their opponents by a score of
Z to |. 1t was practically impossible
for the Argonne girls to get past the
Walsh twins defense Those interest
ed in seeing girls rules work out
should be sure and take in the pre-
liminary of this Fridays game be-
tween the Laona and the local girls
The Laona boys come to Eagle this
week Friday night. We know enough
about Laonas' strength so that we
are certain they will give Eagle a
real scrap and Eagle will come closer
to- losing their first game on the local
floor Friday night than they have
ever been. On the other hand Eagle
will fight with might and main to
keep from losing on their own floor
where no team has as yet defeated
them. To give an ideal of Laonas
strength they recently defeated Ar
gonne so to 0 in one half. Those
wishing to see real game turn out

Do Christmas Shopping
Now, Say StOrekeeperS
BUYING NOW WILL SAVE DISAP-
POlNTMENTS LATER; OTHER
BENEFITS TOO

1t comes as the annual shock to
Dad" and the seasonal thrill to moth
er and the girls.
Shop early!
It's the first of a series of holiday
warnings. It's the initial reminder
that trip in time saves nine and
that shopping at leisure saves wear
and tear on the disposition.
The storekeepers, in broadcasting
the annual note of preparedness, set
FORTH several specific reasons why
shopping early is, in reality, more
of a practical suggestion than an "ad'
for business. Here are a few of the
more important advantages:
Shopping early gives the shopper
the pick" of the holiday stock.
1t permits wide selection of prices
and sizes-a rare quality the day be-
fore Christmas.
1t allows shopping at leisure, with
more satisfactory results and less
pushing.
The weather, today and tomorrow
may be vastly more agreeable for
shopping than one week or two weeks
from today.
The clerks are alert and restful;
result, better service on the part Of
the merchants
Finally-less crowding, less confu-
sion, less delay and more genuinely
peaceful, enjoyable Christmas on the
part of all concerned-mercha
clerk, buyer and last but not least,
the postoffice department. And the
latter institution, no doubt, will short
ly come forth with its own good rea-
sons for shipping early"
It's the old, old story, told in the
same old way, but as one merchant
put it, IF more of the good towns
folk would heed the warning there
would be fewer ragged dispositions
and tired feet in town on Christmas
eve"

SAFETY FIRST

ND REVENTION better than cure"
means more than q slogan to
this small lad. That's why he
is having an examination at one of
the free chest clinics conducted by
the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis Asso-
citation, the organization that is sup
ported by penny Christmas seals.
Into every section Of Wisconsin the
travelling chest clinic goes, spreading
the gospel of health; seeking out the
early and unknown cases of tubercu-
losis.
During 1924 nearly 1880 examina-
lions made at 800 free chest clinics
held in 43 communities, and 1857
cases of tuberculosis were found.
Nearly one-fourth of these, approx
mately $50 cases, were In the very
early and most hopeful stage of the
disease. AS rule these people did
not know that they had tuberculosis
and valuable service in making the
diagnosis was rendered by the clinic.

Evaporation of the alcohol after the
engine is warmed up may be consider
ably retarded by the addition of a
small amount of glycerine, equal to
about 10 per cent of the total capacity
OF the radiator.
Present day gasoline does not vap-
orlze readily in cold weather, starting
necessitates use of the choke. Dis.
erection should be used, however, be-
cause of the fact that the raw fuel
sucked into the combustion chamber
condenses and passes the piston rings
into the crankcase, making for oil
dilution. Protect radiator with blanket
or cover to minimize delay in the
''warming-up."
Care must be exercised to see that
the battery is not discharged by long
periods of cranking the engine. If the
battery is allowed to stand idle in a
discharged condition it will freeze. "A
