with a few added adjectives.
There is some confusion in re
CARDS to this regulation. The law
is included in the 1884 National
Basketball Guide, but is being
talked of as a new rule this season.
q
Only one outstanding amendment
has been added to the playing regu-
lationS. The laws now state that
only the first player who touches
the ball in his front court may re-
turn il to the back court.
TINE pointed suggestion has been
l. made to referees that held balls
should not be called until both
players have one or both hands so
firmly on the ball that neither can
gain sole possession without undue
roughness." Just how far can a
player go before he may be accused
of undue roughness"? Another
problem for the whistle-pufers.
A MOTHER rule has to do with
n the size of numbers on the
front of the FASTENERS Jerseys. Last
year the minimum size was six
inches; this year it's four. Can't
figure that out. The depression is
lifting-so they say-and the schools
ought to be able to afford bigger
and better numerals than ever.
0, yeZl Believe it or etc, the ball
is a trifle smaller. Blackboard hasn't
used the tape on any of the feathers
yet, but according to the rules the
spheres are not less than 29A nor
more than 30i4 inches in circum-
ference. Last year the limits were
80 and 81 inches. Which means that
balls which used to roll round and
round the hoop and roll out, now
will roll round and round the hoop
and tumble in E. maybe.
Then there's another rule - the
BOYS have tagged il sudden death"
that will cause a few exciting I'm
isheS. The regulation provides that
in case a game goes TO three over
times. the first team TO score field
goal in the third heat wins the con-
test. Why not call it the Last
Round hoop" rule? or maybe,
spot Shot Special" or again,
"a Thousand Goodnights -"
A RTHUR L. TRESTER. some
IA times referred to as Mr.. IhSas,
at the annual basketball clinic at
Butler this fall, advised referees TO
know - see = decide - and proceed.
Dealing specifically with held balls,
he might have added: "Toot-toSs-
tear-and toot again" He didn't say
anything about keeping the whistles
tuned TO D lst, wearing green
sweaters. and being a little liberal
on that fourth personal foul.
