so ruled in refusing to Quash an in
dictment against DR.. Rogers NJ. Greg

MAKES DRIBRLE
MORE DIFFICULT
New Basket Ball Rules Have
Much to Say on Subject.

Although not going so far as to re-
strict the dribble to a single bounce.
an action which was taken last year
and then rescinded after storm of
controversy, the new basket ball rules
announced for 192S-29 have consider
able to say about regulating this
spectacular feature of the game.
A new clause is added (rule Is, sec
ton 8. under the head of personal
fOuIs) which reads:
"a player shall not hold, trip, charge
or push an opponent whether or not
either player has possession of the
ball. If a dribber charges into an
opponent, or makes personal contact
with an opponent without an apparent
effort to avoid such contact, a per-
sonal foul shall be called on the drib-
bier.
IF, despite the dribbler's effort to
avoid contact, personal contact en-
sues, either player, or both, may be
guilty; hut the greater responsibility
is on the dribbIer if he tries to drib-
BILE past an opponent who is in his
path"
This is designed to "emphasize the
responsibility of the ~dribbler in con-
nection with the fouls resulting from
the dribble," says Oswald Tower. And
over Mass. official interpreter of the
rules.
Most of those who advocate re-
strictiOn of the dribble." he comments,
think that the dribble is used too
much or that ii is impossible TO check
satisfactorily the many fouls result
ing from IFS USE The former is a
matter of coaching; the latter is a
problem for the rules and officials to
solve.
eff the dribbler's path is blocked
he is expected to pass or shoot; that
is, he ought not to try to dribble past
an opponent unless there is a reason
able chance of getting by without con-
tact. More attention than hitherto is
to be directed to the dribbler's re-
sponsibility."

You are thinking of expensive
things to eat and drink, and IF
the expensive things which usually
go with that sort of "high living"
The high living which l have in mind
is different. You see. after all, ones
eating habits merely indicate the
level upon which one lives.
But ii is worth while to observe
that one may or may not serve God
with knife and fork.
1t is doubtful if one can cultivate
Christian spirit and develop case
