Another interesting development
along the lines of canine research is
the recent announcement by the Small
Animals Hospital Association, nom
profit organization not connected with
any periodical, manufacturing concern
or other commercial establishment.
that 1t has granted its seal of approval
to four commercial dog foods, three OF
them canned and one dry. This Or
ganlzation undertook series Of tests
on commercial dog foods bought in the
open market to determine whether
their labels were correct and whether
they could be used satisfactorily to
maintain dogs in good condition Ind
for breeding.
The testing was started prf-
marily to combat the influx Of
cheap and worthless dog foods
foisted on the market when the
richness Of the market first be-
came apparent.
So many new foods with fancy and
untruthtul labels and worthless or
harmful formulae were sold, so many
cases of malnutrition, intestinal dis
orders, rickets developed, that the
veterinarians themselves decided to
take hand in curbing the evil.
OF course, not all commercial foods
have been tested by this organization.
Many Of the old line companies. with
years Of honorable practice behind
them, maintain their own testing
laboratories. Their foods have been
tasted hv tho years.

NEW YORK, April Tt did not

Snow was falling heavily when the

is now. The only time he's hard to
handle is when he is at the post and
then he just wants to run"
One Of the seven vans broke down
and another caught fire en- route, but
the Admiral was not in either. The
fire was extinguished before it did
any serious damage.
George Conway. veteran trainer who
guided the Admiral through an un-
beaten 3-year-old career in 1887 and
then sent him out to win the S50,000
Widener Challenger Cup in March,
saw the Admiral placed in the right
stall.
Personally, I am willing for the
Admiral to meet Seabiscuit any time"
said the lanky trainer, but the deci-
sion is up to Mr. Riddle. I'll get the
horse ready and he'll say when he'll
race"

NEW BASKET CODE
RELIEVES PLAYERS
Two of Five Changes Made
in Rules Will Afford
Additional Rest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April Five changes
two of them designed to give players
of the streamlined game more rest
were written into the basket ball rule
book today.
The changes. adopted by the Rules
Committee of the National Association
of Basket Ball Coaches, were:
l. Increase Of the number of
time outs in the collegiate game to
five from four.
2. Optional use of four 1O-minute
quarters instead of the customary
20-minute halves with two-minute
rests between first and second and
between third and fourth periods.
8. Exemption of the outer half
OF the foul circle from provisions
of the "three-second" rule so that
player not in possession of the ball
may stay in that territory more
than three seconds without penalty.
4. Prohibition of substitutions
Immediately after goal and before
the ball is tossed into play from the
end zone, unless a team has called
time out.
5. Permission for optional extern
sion of the end margin of the court
from feet to feet from the face
of the backboards.
Call Time Out Arbitrarily.
No extra time outs were provided for
hlgh school games. but the committee
ruled referees must call an official
time out in the second and fourth
quarters if no time has been called by
either team during the first four min
utes in those periods.
In addition. scholastic deadlocks
Will be decided in a Sudden death"
overtime session. The first team to
score two points-on goal or free
throWs-will win. If the three-minute
period ends with but one point scored.
the team scoring will be declared win
ner.
The only other new matter in next
seasons rule book will be a rewritten
'l0-second' rule. Oswald Tower of
Andover, Mass, editor of the National
Basket Ball Committee of the United
States and Canada, said the rule was
rewritten for clariication, but no
change made.
