Basketball Rules

SEVERAL important changes in
- national basketball rules were
made recently by basketball
coaches and officials from western
and mid-western universities and
colleges.
Western conference teams will
concur in the rules drawn up by
the National Collegiate Athletic as
ISOLATION more completely than in
any recent meetings.
Principal deviation from the code
for the Big Ten is the decision to
continue the practice of permitting
two minutes for each time out. The
code allows only one minute. The
rules this year extend the number
OF time-outs without penalty to five
for each team. In view of this in
crease the Big Ten will count time
out when substitutions are made if
play is not resumed within 80 Sec
onds.
The coaches agreed also that
when a field goal has been made
and foul called Immediately after
the goal, that substitution would be
permitted before the free throw is
attempted and that the substitution
will not count as a time out.
On held balls near the boundary
lines the players will jump for pos
session at a point six feet from
side or end lines. The attacking
quintet still has ten seconds to ad-
vance the ball into the forward half
of the court but the center line
marking the division of territory is
now considered to be in the back
court.
The player with the ball, If he
touches the line, still is considered
to be in the back court and he may
pass back to a teammate without
penalty. The ten second count, of
course, continues. Formerly when
the player, under these eircum-
stances, touched the line, then
stepped back or passed back, the
Interpretation was that the ball had
been brought back from the front
court and since it had not been
touched by an opponent, possession
was forfeited to the defense.

Olympics Again

OFFICIALS of the American
~ Olympic committee recently
voted to accept Finland's invitation
to the games of the Twelfth Olym-
piad, to be staged in July and Au-
gust of 1910, and at the same time
lent its Endorsement to a bid by
the city of Detroit for the 1874
games.
Much to the delight of followers
of that sport, gliding will appear
on the roster for the first time.
Three sports, however, which were
contested in the 1886 games at Ber-
lin-basketbaI, field hockey, and
field handball-have been dropped
for the HelsingfOrs meeting.
Participation in the reassigned
games will cost the United States
group considerably less. With ia
pans REIMBURSEMENT comes news
from the various sports committees
that they had been able to effect
downward revisions in their budg-
cts. One committee alone pared
5000 from its budget, and the COM
bined saving of the 81 committees
will amount to a substantial figure.

Admittedly Mike has no aversion
to making money. He's shrewd, and
on top of that has all the luck in
the world. That combination has
made him an outstanding success
in sports promotion.
Mike was accused of pulling a
boner when he introduced the an
Gent basque game, jai alai, to
Broadway without the mutuel ma
chimes which have made the games
so successful in Havana and Miami.
The wise boys figured it couldn't
make the grade without the added

But Mike called his shot. The
game has done so well in New York,
even without betting, that he intends
to keep it running through until Au-
gust. He intimated that he will put
the game in Boston, Hollywood and
Chicago, but only if the legislatures
in Massachusetts,, California and
Illinois take action that will insure
installation of betting machines at
the Ja1 alal games.
He isn't so enthusiastic about ten

he could have had Don Bulge, who
recently turned professional, and
Sonia Henie, but wants no part
of them. His present interests, in

Dirt-Track Car

CPEED kings like to gather round
- when John A. Sloan Jr. of Chi
cago, the Judge Lands" of the
dirt-tracks, talks over old times. In
his own words:
"I'm the second generation of
Sloans in the race business. In 1905
my dad began presenting speed
kings. He brought out Barney Old
field, Louis Disbrow and Sig Haug-
dahl. Now we stage dirt-track races
all but three months in the year. It's
a big business. We played before
two and a half million people this
past summer at fair grounds from
Montana to New York and Florida.

I'VE haven't had fatal accident
in six years while staging 2,730

either. Emory Collins, the dirt
track champion, holds the record of
80 miles an hour on a mile track.

drivers because we give 'em regu-
lar work-some of 'em make as
high as $4,000 a season.
"When auto racing was new the
races smacked of wrestling ring hip
podrOme. The drivers just saw to it
the crowd got close races. Then To-
cal garagemen got building cars
that beat the imported cars. Now
the best car and driver wins"
Emory Collins, the champ, was
former champion hockey player
in Canada. His start in dirt-track
racing came when he used a jazzed
up stock car and beat invading rae
ers.
There's little more security at

don't have to gamble for their mon

and the prize money they can win.
