DRIBBLER IS RESPONSIBLE:
 IN NEW CODE
Change Made In Basketball Rules for lo26-2o
 Season

H. E. Waid, athletic director of the Juneau schools, has received the new basketball rules for the 192S-1929 season. One of the particular changes is in reference to dribbling, which clearly gives the benefit of the doubt to the guard and places much responsi- bility on the dribbler. The clause is as follows, added to Rule 15, section 9, under the head of per- sonal fouls
 "A player shall not hold, trip, charge CT push any opponent whether or.pot either player has possession t&sthe ball. If a drib- bier charges into an opponent, or makes personal contact with an opponent without an apparent ef- ford to avoid such contact, a per sonal foul shall be called on the ! dribbler
 of, despite the dribbler's effort to avoid contact, personal contact ensues, either player, or both, may be guilty; but the greater respon- sibility is on the dribbler if he tries to dribble by an opponent who is in his path
 This is designed to "emphasize the responsibility of the dribblef in connection with the fouls re- sulting from the dribble, says os- wald Tower, Andover, Mass off cial interpreter of the rules.
 Most of those who advocate re- striction of the dribble," he com- ments, think the dribble is used too much, or that it is impossible to check satisfactorily from it's use. The former is a matter of coaching; the latter is a problem for the rules officials to solve.
 If the dribbler's path is block ed" he said, "he is expected to pass or shoot. He ought not to try to dribble past an opponent unless he has a chance to get by without contact More attention than hitherto is to be directed at the drlbbler's responsibility"
 Among other changes are proyis- ions designed to penalize guard ing from the rear" by personal foul, making it illegal for a player to capitalize his height by tap- ping the ball and then catching it on two successive jump balls; and stating that "an unguarded player may hold the ball indefi- nitely in the court, but as soon as an opponent takes a position close by say within yard of the player with the ball, the lat ter must get the ball into play.
 The new code also makes il clear that a ball striking an off cial does not become a dead ball.

1t is correct fer widow to wear
veil for three months, SIX months
or year. Everything depends
upon her own reaction to mourn
ing. But in these days no one is
criticized If she wears what is
called light mourning. The veil is
then of net with a band of crepe,
instead of heavy black crepe veil,
and 1t is not required now by good

WAR SAILORS |I|I MONUMENT BE

BRINDISI, Italy. May B. - A monument to the Italian sailor, to be in way counterpart to the monument to the Unknown Soldier in Rome. will soon be erected here on promontory overlooking the Adriatic. The cost will be met by public sub. scriDtion not only throughout the kingdom and the colonies, but among Italian emigrants abroad.
 Already committees have been formed in all the important sea port towns of Italy to collect funds. and cities of such glorious maritime past as Genoa, Venice and Naples are vieing with one another. To enable small sub scribers to do their share, a spe- cial series of stamps will be is- sued, after the fashion of Christ mas health seals in the United States.
 It is hoped to have at least the cornerstone of the memorial dedi, cated to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the Armistice, tv which ceremony members of the Royal family, the government, and the general staff of the Navy will be invited.

DETROIT-It's goodbye f.ills for the $50 girls attending the Liggett private school here
 Going on the theory that girls minds are distracted from their studies by their frocks, the man agement has ordered the wearing of regulation attire.
 For warm weather, the girls will wear uniforms made of India silk in navy blue. In the winter, the dresses will be made of wool and may be worn in red, green, blue and brown. Both models will be trimmed with white pique collars and cuffs. Skirts must be two inches below the knee. Woolen hose are requested for winter wear.
