~ SWAID TOWER, official inter-
n prefer Of the Joint Basket Ball
u Rules Committee, has just Is
sued Bulletin No. on the
1928 code. explaining that since
Bulletin No. was issued sufficient
number of questions have been raised
to warrant the second bulletin. Through
these bulletins it is hoped to obtain
uniform interpretations Of the new rules
in all sections.
The latest interpretations, received by
Prof C. Edward Beckett OF this city. a
member of the Joint Committee. follow:
Rule IA, section 12-When Is player
considered to have his back to the bas-
ket2 The position Of his feet and snoul-
ders determine this. If he is In hall
way position, that is, II his feet point to-
ward the SIDE line and his shoulders are
parallel to the side line, his back Is
not considered to be toward the basket
but If his feet or shoulders are in any
degree toward his back court from this
position, his back is toward the baSket
IF a player receives the ball In his
i free-throw lane while his back Is
not toward the basket, CT course the
3-secopd count does not affect him,
but if he then turns so that his back
is toward the basket the 3-second count
begins and continues, and he must get
the ball outside the lane in not less
than 8 seconds. Dribbling the ball in
the lane or passing 1t to another player
in the lane is not getting 1t outside
the lane.
II he passes the ball within 8 seconds
and 1t Is intercepted in the lane by an
opponent, obviously he would not be
penalized even though technically he
did not get the ball outside the lane.
Moreover, II he passes the ball to
teammate who is going in for a shot at
the basket no penalty should be i'm
posed even though tie teammate may
be in the lane and therefore the ball
may be in the lane more than seconds.
In this case. as n others where the
players comply with the spirit of the
rules, officials must exercise Judgment
and common sense. regardless of how
definitely the rules may be worded.
If player holding the ball with his
back to his basket has one foot on or
inside the lane. then pivotS so that he
is entirely outside the lane, and finally
pivots back or into the lane. he Is
subject to the three-second restriction.
and If the whole operation takes more
than three seconds he loses the ball
If he pivots out Of the lane within the

SANDLOT FOOT BALL
ON LAST 1882 LEGS
Interesting Card Will Be Presented
Today, Although There Are
Few Contests.

CANDLOT foot ball is dying off, but
- there'll be no burial at least until
the amateur gridders take one
more fling today. The sandlotters plan
to brave sloppy, snow-laden gridirons
this afternoon to stage an interesting,
If somewhat depleted, Sabbath schedule.
A purely Southwest Washington
rivalry will fame on the Seat Pleasant
field this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
when Terry Service foot ballers, 150-
pound champions Of the Independent
League, tackle the Mercury A. c., un-
successful contenders for unlimited
honors in the same circuit
Terrys won last year, 20 to 0.
Delta Sigma Nu eleven will play the
Northern Red Birds, claimants of the
140-pound championship of the Dis
trict, at 2:30 o'clock on the Sixteenth
Street Reservoir field. All frat players
are to report at 2 o'clock.
Grifith Blue Goals will engage the
Del Ray team at 2 o'clock on Duncan
field, Alexandra.
Virginia Juniors, who claim the 1885,
pound title of Northern Virginia, will
entertain the Northeast Trojans at 2
o'clock on Baggetts field, Alexandria
An2costia Eag,es and the Centennials
Will tangle on FairlaWn field today at

Tower, Interpreter of Basket
Rules, Issues Second Bulletin

three seconds and remains out, the
three-second rule does not apply.
Rule 8, Section 8.-When team A has
the ball In its back court, the 10-sec-
ond count Is continuous unless team A
loses control Of the ball, and the ball
is touched by team B while out of con-
troll of A. If A bounces the ball of B
and RECEIVERS it, new 10-Second count
does not start. II a pass by A Is touched
or even detected by B, new count
does not start If control of the ball
remains with team A. If, however. the
ball is fumbled and then touched by
B, or If B intercepts 1t. new count
begins when A regains the ball.
WHEN team A gains possession OF the
w ball in its front court after a
try for goal, or from out OF
bounds, or from jump ball, or by re-
covering it from the possession Of op-
ponentS, team A may cause the ball to
go back over the center line once. Note
that 1t must be recovered from the
possession of the opponents: 1t is not
sufficient for team B to touch the ball
while it Is out Of AS control. This
distinction is intentional. Having ad-
vanced the ball to the front court
team must keep it there unless one OF
the four definite pays occurs, as listed
in the first sentence of this paragraph
II team A passes the ball from lis
back court to its front court and the
ball is batted back or detected back
by team 3, q new count starts for
team A. The reason for this is that
team A has done its duty by passing
the ball to the front court and the ball
has returned to the back court through
no fault of team A. A similar ruling
would apply when team A has the ball
in its front court and the ball is .batted
or detected into AS back court by
team B. Team A should not be penal :
lied, because in this case A does not
cause the ball to go over the center
line. Team A. however, should not b.
permitted to beat the rue in any OF
theqe situations by deliberatelv bounc-
ing the ball off their opponents.

V yellow SPRINGS, Ohio, De-
" cember 10.-Hsre at An
tioch College, where there
are more foot ball players
than gridiron fans, campus insur-
ance company has been organized
to take care Of the boys who g:t

The plan embraces co-eds, too, and
participants in any sport who are
hurt on college athletic fields are
eligible to benefits.
The company" Is financed by as
sessments Of 10 cents a semester

University of Missouri will meet

night in Tech High gymnasium. George
WASHINGTON athletic authorities are
planning to handle banner crowd and
have arranged some special entertain
ment to be conducted between halves.
Missouri, with is coached by George
Edwards, one of the most successful
court mentors in the Middle West, is
cofavored with Oklahoma to win the
championship of the Big Six Confer
ence. The Tigers last season tied for
second place with Oklahoma and would
have tied for the title with Kansas but
for a defeat in its last game.
The appearance OF Missouri here
marks the first time in Capital college
basket ball history that a team from
west of the Mississippi River has Wis
tied. No other teams Of this section
will be met by the MissourianS. their
Journey from Columbia, Mo, and back
being punctuated only by stops at In
dianapolis to meeS Butler and at St.
Louis to play Washington University.
CoACH EDWARDS, whose Big Six
~ record shows a $50 winning per-
centage, is bringing here one of
the Middle Vests greatest players in
Johnnie Cooper, forward. This l58-
pound star was unanimously selected
last year on the All-Big Six team and,
incidentally, shared with Ted OLeary,
new Colonial coach, the conference
high-scoring honors. Both Cooper and
O'Leary garnered ITO points In ii
games, O'Leary obtaining deadlock in
the final conference game.
Cooper is exceptionally fast, clever
tosser of the ball and an expert dr.b-
bier.
Other mainstays of the Missouri
squad are Norman Wagner, 6-foot &
inch center, who IS playing his third
season; George Stuber, a speedy and
aggressive guard, and Bernard Passer,
forward, whose 5-foot 4-inch Insight
establishes him as one Of the shortest
college basket ball players in the coun-
try.
The Colonials, since their easy tri-
umph over Shenandoah College last
Thursday, have been practicing under
OLeary's direction with the hope of
their defense. In the Shen-
andoah game they showed laxity at
times in guarding.
Two nights after meeting the Tigers
the Co'on:als will engage Dukes strong
quint, also in the Tech gym.

The plan is designed as a supple
mental protection, since students
are given free medical treatment at
= the college clinic for minor hurts.
The insurance. however, covers such
items as hospital and X-ray bills.
First to benefit from the plan, all
laid low by fractured ribs, legs or
collar bone-, are John Stewart {

tam. Conn; William Van Slyke of
Eveleth, Mimi; Warren Ridpath of

with facts-and made IL easy on pocket
books by establishing popular prices;
but Just as important, perhaps, from
the customers standpoint, he put on
some of his best shows at night, when
most everybody had the time to see
them.
The big result of all this was the
largest seasons attendance at home
ever drawn by Washington eleven,
estimated at 10000.
Catholic University lost only one
game. tied another and won all the re-
mainder for the most glorious s:ason in
its history, but while 1t gained the ad-
miration of all. it failed to cantivate
the city in the sense that G. w. did.
The Cardinals only chance for killing
by arc light, was spoiled by miserable
weather.
Here was a factor that helped George
Washington nightly, and If YOU 60 in
for such comparisons. consider the
weather breaks the Colonials got in
their bid against other schools for grid
patronage. For all but one of its home
games, George Washington drew we'll
nigh perfect weather. snd in the ex-
ception a deluge held of until the
crowd was in the park.
Alabama is not forgotten when Car
negie Tech is hereby named the best
team to appear here. granting, tco,
that the Plaid met an inferior George
town eleven.
Carnegie Tech was late finding itself
this season. it's record reveals. and it
probably reached its peak in the final
game The Skibos' blocking and pass
ing against Georgetown was foot ball
art.
Washington saw more first-claSs foot
ball this year than in any preceding;
certainly the season was the most en-
tertaining of modern times. To this
reporter the big surprises were Mary
lands showing against Vanderbilt
the Commodo:es shot the works to
win-and the terrific lacing George
town took from Carnegie Tech.
Perhaps the most inspiring per-
formance was that of Maryland in
coming back to outplay Western Mary
land in the second half after yielding
SO points in the first.
Which brings us around to another
word about that Woods fellah. He also
can tote foot ball In the game with
Western Maryland he was given more
opportunities to run the oval than in
any other he played In during three
years as an Old Liner, and he proved
he was quite as capable in this respect
as he was in other lines.
