Basketball Rules Are ( hanged For Next Season New York. April 111 Three iadie.il changes In bak.tball playing nn>were adopted by the joint committee of the YMCA; AAtl and the National Collegiate Athletic iissik'l.ilimi at Ur annual meeting here today. chuuges Include abolition of all r.onr-,'l. elimination of the hand !>•■ hind the back rule in case of a jump ball and a provision that a ball which hits the edge of the buck board will be considered in play unless it caroms out of bounds. Those alterations were made to unify the playing code and to standardise the game as played in the east and west. The nib' which abolishes the pla< lug of the hand behind the back was modelled so the same result is obtained. The law makers Inserted a clause in this rule which reads:\’’Auy , use of the hand not used in tapping ; the ball shall be const rind as a per !

BOnul foul." The rule abolishing the tones was supplemented by a rule which read: “When a player is fouled in the act of shooting for a goal in any part of the door two free throws shall he awarded to the player fouled." Another rule was changed to read: “When the ball hits the edge of the back board and rebounds into the pjaying court it shall still be in play." The word "face", was inserted in

♦he rule covering the painting <»f the hack board. The former rule made it mandatory for a team to point Its back board white but teams evaded the regulation by painting the back white and leaving the face its natural color. Under the new rules teams will be forced to paint the face id the board while. Overtime periods in high school games will be three minutes long instead of five. o ' Boxing Program At Delphos Tuesday Night

World’s Champions Show They’re Still In Race Uy Henry L Farrell. (U. P. Staff Correspondent» New York, April 13—Form shown by the Washington Senators in the spring world's series against the New York Giants may change the calculations of some of the experts who have been counting the world's champions

but of the 192.7 pennant race. The Senators did no better than break even in a 12-game series with ( the Giants but that was fair enough. In away it proved that the world's * series last fall was true to form because the Senators became the world's champions on two very lucky breaks . in the final game when two badly bounding halls went over the head of ' little Freddy Lindstrom. John McGraw and those who have j been figuring on a certain Giant victory in the National league will have some cause for concern over the form shown by the New York pitchers since they returned from the south. — o — 1 Babe Ruth Will Not Play In Opening Game New York.
