BASKET-BALL CAPTAINS ADOPT
SPALDING’S NEW UNIFORM RULES



Expected to Induce Cleaner Play



In a captains’ and managers’ basket-ball
meeting last Friday Spalding’s new 1917
men’s rules were read, discussed, and
adopted. As a result the Friday basket-
ball practise, though attended with some
confusion on the lower teams as to just
what the new rules permitted, was notice-
ably cleaner and more open.

Bryn Mawr has always used men’s
rules, but previous to the present it
played under those of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union of the United States. The
new rules are a combination of the Ama-
teur Athletic Union, the National Colle-
giate Athletic Association, and the Young
Men’s Christian Association. This is the
second year of uniform rules in the
basket-ball world.

An abbreviated version of the new rules
and an account of the important changes
follows:

Playing Terms

1. A goal is made when the ball enters
the basket from above.

2. Out of Bounds—A player is out of
bounds when any part of his body
touches the boundary line or the floor out-
side of the boundary line. The ball is out
of bounds when it touches the boundary

92 per cent, the highest in college, and
one more point for the All-Round
Championship. Their total now is 11
Points.

On Saturday, April 7th, Yale played
her last baseball game and rowed her
last race until after the war. The
team has been recalled from its
Southern trip and all engagements
cancelled.

At Harvard and Princeton all ath-
letic schedules have been cancelled
also.



ee
line, the floor outside the boundary line,

or when it is touched by a player who is
out of bounds. (Formerly out of bounds
was not declared when a ball or player
touched the boundary line.)

3. Held Ball is declared when two op-
posing players of opposing sides have one
or both hands on the ball, or when one
closely guarded player is withholding the
ball from play. (The provision as to the
“closely guarded player” is new and will
prevent one frequent cause of delaying
the game.)

4, Running with the Ball is progressing
more than one step in any direction while
retaining possession of the ball. (For-
merly a player catching the ball on the
run was allowed two steps, but a player
catching the ball standing still could only
take one foot off the ground. Now one

step may be taken in either case.)

5. Holding is personal contact with an
opponent that interferes with the oppo-
nent’s freedom of movement.

6. Blocking is impeding the progress of
an opponent who has not the ball.

New Division of Fouls

7. Personal Foul is holding, blocking,
tripping, pushing, charging, or committing
any other form of unnecessary roughness.

8. Technical Foul is any foul not in-
volving personal contact.

9. Disqualifying Foul is rough play for
which a player is removed from the game.

Fouls and Penalties will be found on
page 5.

lege. Until 1915 the American record

Kirk (E. B. Kirk ’14) with a distance of
83 ft. % in., that is, 2 ft. 3%, in. less than

Sixteen boys and girls about five years
old, “who couldn’t wait to go to school”,
came to the kindergarten Monday noon.
The children who are paying fifteen cents
apiece or two for a quarter, showed no
signs of fear or regret at having begun
their education.
