TO SINGLE BOUND > Basketball Rules Committee Makes Drastic Changes i In Amateur Rules New York, April 11. —The join' > basketball rules committee in annual r tession here Saturday made a drastic change in the amateur rules by rei striding the dribble to a single bound i The number of bounds has been tin- ! limited. <' ■*; I Officials of the committee said the i change was adopted to “eliminate" •oughness and to encourage team ■ play. “Seventy per cent of fouls and delations of rules have resulted from the dribble.’’ said Oswald Tower, An dover, Mass., editor of the official tuide. in making the announcement Observing that basketball “is essen ally a team game," he said restricion of the dribble would reduce the dement of individual play and er. 'ourage passing. The change was adopted unani tously by the committee after three -ours of discussing. It goes into es ’ect with the new season and applies o all amateur teams. Represented on the committee an the National Collegiate Athletic assoiation. the Y. M. C. A. and the A. A > IT. Two representatives of the char i ‘ered board of basketball officials alj attended the session. Ano'.her important change provides hat "time out" shall be taken on all 'ouls. This. Mr. Tower estimated, will dd from three to five minutes to the rctaial playing time of the average -ame. Heretofore time out has been aken only on technical fouls and on personal fouls which call for two or nore free tlfrows. Under a third hange the referee is forbidden to blow the whistle on jump balls except at the beginning of periods and ifter time out. Previously the whistle I •as been sounded after each basket, •nd by some referees on shots from vut of bounds, adding to the bedlam if the whole game. Herb L. Curtis, basketball coach f Decatur high school, stated today hat he was extremely sorry that the asketball rules committee had seen "t. to limit the dribble to one bounce. Toach Curtis declared ' that this acion would slow up the game greatly, ncourage long shots and, from the 'spectator's viewpoint, remove most if the thrills from the game. He aid he believed that most teams, with the dribble limited to one bound, vculd resort to the professional style of play. With the dribbling eliminated, the player who finds him •elf in possession of the ball with an open field between him and the baset, no longer can make a dash for he basket. There is a possibility 'hat the Indiana High School Ath etic Association may not adopt this ' hange in the rules. High schools re not represented on the rules com , mittee. o Milwaukee Bowlers Win Peoria, 111., April 11 —(United Press) —The Tea Shops team of Milwaukee are champions of the five-man event of the American bowling congress for 1927.
