Committee Defers
Change in Court Rule

The action of the Basketball Rules
Committee in deferring the change
in the dribble rule meets with the
hearty approval Of Bill Chandler,
Iowa State College basketball coach
and Western representative Of the
committee.
When the meeting Of the Rules
Committee was held recently, Chand.
Ter was one of the four who declined
to support the one-bound ruling,
stating that It would be wiser to
wait until coaches had first had an
opportunity to try the one-dribble
system in actual contests before il
was accepted.
However, Coach Chandler is not
wholly against the one-bounce drib.
BILE and thinks that it would really
accomplish the purpose for which
it is intended-that of speeding up
the game.

you I would take their judgment
and give them a thorough trial.
In the early days I used to send
my clubs to a golf club factory,
but nowadays one can get in the
shops almost any degree of loft you
want. My reason for sending to
the factory was that I was obliged
to get the manufacturers to make
loft between a niblick and a
mashie.
This fact permitted me, nearly
to win the open championship in
1914. If / had, Walter Hagen,
who won, might have been dis
couraged and never become as
great as he is today.
On little things like that hang
the victories and defeats of
great golfers. / always liked
to buy q club which sets well

there is a great deal in getting
this bottom of your clubhead
to lie at the same angle.
You see, I believe in playing the

with me that is very important.

although they are all pretty good,

Even though Bobby Jones carried

The Tremonts, defending champ
ions of the Petworth Senior League,
are not so confident today, perhaps,
as they were before examining the
slants Of Pitcher Ehlers, of the Ia
koma Tigers. The Tremonts were
figured to hold on to the league
lead, but they slipped when Ehlers
shut 'em out, 6 to 0, with two
hits,
In the meantime, the r. T.
Keane team won its third
straight victory, defeating the
Kanawhas, IL to 5, and as a
result holds undisputed posses
sion Of first place. Barry, Of T.
T. Keane, and Harvey, Of the
Kanawhas, each made four hits
in five times at bat. Harvey
got a triple and double.
With Jones leading a strong at
tack, the Yorkes defeated the Sports

Bunny started playing base
ball around 1910. Since then
he has been with the st. Louis

Brief has led the American
Association in home run hitting,

today. Burgess will undergo q
minor operation next week.

Known as one Of the fastest
runners of the quarter and one
Of the greatest finishers at any
distance. he was considered to
have the best chance of win

It was thought, however, that
an old leg injury which kept him
out of competition once before, was
bothering him.
Burgess will be graduated this
June and wants to devote time to
his studies. Hence he is not par
ticularly concerned over his ath-

After leaving college Burgess

sought the permission of the court
to make some changes in plat on
record in the county clerk S office.

three minor children was next pre-
sented the board. The petition
asking that $50 a month be given
for the support of the children was
approved.
A number of petitions for cam
collation. of taxes were presented
and approved by the board.
The board held a discussion on
the plans for the publication of a
pamphlet being handled by the
board of trade and the Southern
Pacific company and expressed ap-
proval of the progress made thus
far. The pamphlet will be given
countrywide circulation and will
contain pictures and literature ad-
vertising Imperial Valley.
