BASKET BALL RULES
CHANGED BUT LITTLE

The annual edition Of the Spalding
Basket Ball Guide, with the revised
rules for the current reason, has made
its appearance.
The outstanding changes in the bas-
ket ball rules for 1866 are those
abolishing the observation-disclosures on
jump ball and the goal zone. 1t was
felt that these changes could be made
safely under present conditions and
that they would meet with the ap-
proval of the great majority of those
interested in the game.
Under the new jump bal. rule it is
a personal foul for . player 10 inter-
fere in any way with his opponent,
and this has special reference to the
hand not used in tapping the ball. To
avoid this foul players should try TO
keep this hand in the plane of the
body.
Considering the comparatively short
period since the invention of the game
about a third of a century-basket
ball has reached a high standard OF
scientific play in less time than other
sports Of similar popularity. A big adj
vance was made several years ago
when the rules committees of the three
organizations most prominent in the
government of the spOrt-the Young
Mems Christian Association, the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
and the Amateur Athletic Union
formed a joint committee and adopt
ed a uniform code Of rules. thus elm
mating variations in play which if
persisted in would have been hard TO
eradicate later.

prodigy in his first year as head coach

In Jack Connors, former Exeter
star, now a sophomore at the local

Even at this stage Of the campaign
Connors already is regarded as one
of the greatest punters in the coun-

victory over the strong Union eleven,
Connors booted the pigskin several
times for a distance Of 20 yards. His

GIPP LIKE GRANGE.

And neither can "Red" hit a line
like Willie Heston Of Michigan. could.
or Ted Coy. that marvel of Yale whose
high knee action bowled over so many
would-be tacklers. Mahan was a great
broken field runner, one of the best,
but Grange is certainly greater than
Mahan at Mahan's own game.
George Gipp of Notre Dame. whose
unutimely death in 1920 plunged the
whole football world into sorrow, was
like Grange in many respects-tall.
weighing 175 pounds, and a clever
runner and accurate passer. Lake
Grange. Gipp used to grip the ball IN
his right hand and fake throws until
the defense ran back, then tuck the
ball under his arm and run with It.
Gimp could punt and kick field goals,
but there is doubt if Gipp could have
scored four touchdowns in 10 minutes
against the 1924 Michigan varsity.
FCKERSALL SMALL IN SIZE.
Walter Eckersall, small and fast,
was wonderful dropkicker. but
Oranges size gives him an edge on
Walter in other respects. Yet Grange
never had TO call signals and run the
team as Eckie did.
The Illinois meteor's record OF car
rying the ball 2431 yards IN IA plays
in his first two years as a varsity
player probably never will be equaled
in big-time football.

Dl1A Il A4'AHA ~ Il OAaAA1o ". BURGESS

Now, had Bobby crossed lust a
little sooner he would have fooled
Iowler and the dog, but it happens
that he didn't cross quite soon enough
and Yowler saw him. Now Yowler
doesn't like the water and he had no
intention of wetting his feet, even to
get even with Bobby Coon. There
were some big stones and from one
TO another of these Yowler jumped
But before he started he waited until
the dog was so near that he couldn' t
help but see him. The dog did see
him and he went splashing across
the brook. He didn't mind the water
in the least. When he got across
he made straight for the place where
ne had last seen Yowler. Right there
lowler's scent disappeared. You see,
Iowler had made a long jump to a
fallen tree. and along this he had
run and jumped from 1t to the trunk
of big hcnlock tree. Now he was
nicely hidden half way up this tree.
But if the scent of Yowler had mys-
ter1ously vanished there was another
scent to take it's place. 1t was the
scent of Bobby Coon. That dog knew
that he was supposed to be hunting
Bobby Coon. He wasted no time try
ing to find the scent of Yowler the
bOD Sdl lHSteau, ne picked up the
trail of Bobby Coon and away he
went, barking as only a hunting dog
can.
Poor Bobby. He had felt so sure
that by crossing the brook he would
be safe that this was a great surprise
TO him. He didn't feel like running
and he didn't know where to run to.
He knew that it wouldn't be safe
simply to climb tree. Then the dog
would bark at the foot of the tree
and the hunters would come over and
perhaps kill him. Bobby didn't want
to he killed. He was angry at Yowl-
er. You see, he had forgotten that
he had played the same kind of a
trick on Yowler the night before.
That dog was a fast runner. He was
getting nearer and nearer. Every
minute he was getting and nearer.
Bobby began to pant and puff. He
began to wonder if this was. after
all, to be his last run. And then all
of sudden it popped into his head
what he should do.
Stupid! Stupid not to have thought
of it before. What is the Laughing
Brook for, anyway" he exclaimed.
Straight back to it he ran and then
you should have seen him scamper
down along the edge of the Laughing
Brook just in the water. Finally he
crossed to the other side. He was
safe. The Laughing Brook had wash
ed away his scent.
