BASKETBALL RULES SHE basketball season approaches. In fact, it is already hero for a number of high school teams, but still a week away for the State college fives. Therefore before settling down to a winter of hysteria it seems the best thing at this time to look over the rules of the game. This angle never bothers some fans who howl at the referees the loudest, but others may care to glance at the regulations, especially the few changes made since last year. There is no seventeen-foot zone this season. If the lines have not been sandpapered off the floor they don’t mean anything. In 1925-26 any foul committed on the attacking team in this zone meant two throws for the team fouled. This year two free throws are allowed only when a player is fouled while in the act of shooting for the basket. This does not change things much as the man usually fouled is the one frying io make a basket. One little line is required to be painted after the long line across the floor is obliterated. The rules require that a diameter be drawn in tho center circle. The purpose of this is to devote the part of the (ircle belonging to each center. The opposing pivot men are not required to stand within the circle this season. 'fhe regulation says that each player shall stand with booth feet ON or inside his half of tho circumference. This means that each foot is in legal position if any part of it touches the are. Nei-her foot, however, should touch the diameter line. This makes it easier for the long boys with big feet. And it pifsinf: the size of the pedal extremities of some of the tall centers. Air Pressure An air pressure of thirteen p.,unils is recommended as a satisfactory inflation for the ball. This, of course, applies to the new type of valve ball which permits use of an air gauge. „ The umpire of a game is given equal authority with the referee in disqualifying players for flagrant, unsportsmanlike conduct. A couple of regulations have been-changed in regard to “time out.” If an injury takes plate while <he ball is in play, the officials are to withhold their whistles until a play has-been completed. By “completed” is meant that, the team in possession of the hall has thrown for goal, lost possession of the ball, has withheld the ball from play, or that the ball has become a held hall or an out of bounds ball. Doesn’t “Kill” Play Os course, the captain of the team in possession of the ball can obtain “time out” immediately. The purpose of the change is to prevent officials from “killing” a play because of an apparent injury which often has no effect upon the play itself. Another case in which “time out” is not to be granted for a substitution or at the request of a captain is after the hall is in position for a free throw. Such “time out” may be granted between the call ng of the- foul and ta.'.'.ng the ball to tlw free throw line, but not thereafter until the throw or throws have been taken. This is to do away with any attempt to disconcert a player who is about to attempt a free throw. Some O lifted on Last year there was some confusion as to tho procedure when a personal and technical fqul were called on the same team. This necessitated two or more throws, one of which was for the technical violation. Keit rees were stO times in a quandary because after a free (hi*ow for a technical foul (he bail goes back to center, whether made or not, and on a free throw or throws for a personal foul the ball is in play. This year in such an instance the ball is in play after the last free throw, the general rule on Technical foul free throws not applying. There are other changes In wording to clarify the meaning, but the above are the only important changes. SHERE is always something new under the sun despite • the old adage to the contrary. A "biologic’’ football teamrepresenting a Battle Creek sanitarium went through the entire season without tasting meat, coffee and sugar. They lost only to the Notre Dame Reserves, 7 to 6. The squad of thirty-four players was mustered from ninety-seven men. Meat, sugar, tea, coffee, cocoa, spices of all kinds, pickles and gravies were prohibited, ifhe gridders had a choice of malted honey, food-ferrin, vegetables, fruits, salads, cereals, nuts and milk. It is claimed that not a member of the squad lost any weight during the conditioning and most of them gained a few pounds. This may prove something. At any rate, it ought to be worth several arguments.

CHICAGO SOX LEAD AMERICAN LEAGUE IN TEAM FIELDING

EASTERN PUGILIST WINNER Loughran Outpoints Manley by Clever Display of Snappy Left Hand. If some of the youthful boxers of Indianapolis would copy after the style displayed by Tommy Loughran, the big league pugilist, who defeated Frank Manley at Tomlinson Hall Monday night, they might advance in their profession. Loughran beat a tatoo with a sharp left on Manley’s face and the Denver man was all marked up at the finish of ten rounds. Manley was willing and made a fight out of the scrap, but he couldn’t match the Philadelphian when gloves were flying. Loughran rolled up enough points to win decisively and showed a clever defense during several efforts of Manley to rally. Tommy out* weighed Manley nine pounds. The bout was worth the price, despite Loughran’s superiority over his opponent. Chuck Wiggins, Hoosier champion, challenged the winner. Wiggins has fought Loughran twice, losing by a shade once and on a foul the second time. Results of other Monday bouts at Tomlinson Hall follow: Charlie Shine and Jack McCullough fought elx rounds to a draw. Battling Randolph knocked opt Young Tiger Flowers in the fourth round. Toung Babe Ruth knocked out Indianapolis Jackie Dugan in the second round. Dugan substituted for Allan Watson. ltov Rogers defeated Kid Walker by technical k. o. in tho third round. _ Jack Purvis had the better of Matt Herman in four rounds. The Olympic A. C. staged the show and it was well received. Steve Harter of the Washington A. C. will promote the next local fistic offering at Tomlinson Hall next Monday night. The card will consist of four ten-round bouts. In the main event .Timmy Mahoney, Chicago, will battle Sekyra, anew pug in the local colony. Mahoney, in a previous appearance here, easily defeated George Mulholland. •

Tris Speaker The baseball world was given another surprise Monday when Tris Speaker, famous outfielder, heavy hitter and manager of the Cleveland Americans, resigned his job and announced he would retire from the diamond to enter commercial life. Speaker has been one of the game’s greatest performers, both in tlie field and at bat. He also has to his .record a world’s championship, his Cleveland team having won the honors from Brooklyn in fTfc 1920 fall classic. The Speakerites. finished second in the American League 1926 race. The retirement of Speaker, on the heels of the passing of Ty Cobb from the game, removes two of the outstanding heroes of the diamond. BUD TAYLOR DEFEATED ■*. Joe Wins Decisively in Milwaukee Battle.

Yankees Supplanted for First Time in Three Years —Browns at Bottom. —i The Chicago White Sox led the American League in fielding percentage in the season of 1926, thus supplanting the New York Yankees, which tean) had for three years in succession been the fielding leader. However, the percentage of the White Sox (.973) was a point less than that recorded by the Yankees the previous year. While the lead was taken with a point less in percentage, the general average was higher than that of ] 925 for the entire league. The St. Louis Browns were at the bottom in fielding with a percentage of .963, which was six points better than that of the Boston team when it finished last in 1925. Boston, advanced to fourth place in fielding, led tho league in number of assists. An odd thing in the fielding records was that the leading White Sox made so few double plays, while the bottom Browns made the most. Also the Browns were second in number of assists made. Double Play Leader The New York team was credited with but 117 double plays in 155 games,played. Six triple plays were made, Cleveland and Boston having two each and Philadelphia and Washington one each. Several outstanding features are noted in individual fielding records of the 1926 season in the American League. Catcher John Bassler of the Detroit team iff sixty-three games behind the bat had 284 chances without error, though he was charged with one passed ball. His 61 assists meant almost one per game. Phil Todt, first baseman of the Boston Red Sox, had 1,755 putouts and 126 assists in 154 games, a total of 1,881 chances accepted. Ha had part in 144 double plays and two triple plays. Ivainm Stars Willie Kamm of the Chicago White Sox recorded a fielding average of .978, very high for third basemen. Bib Falk, left fielder of the White Sox, made but three errors in 155 games, according to the official

scorers* reports. There was a notable list of pitchers who handled all their fielding chances without error or with but one error made all season. Taking up the fielding work by positions, Earl Sheely of the Chicago White Sox led first b;isemen classed as regulars, though Joe Hauser of the Athletics topped him by one point, in less than as many gamgs played at the position. Max Bishop of the Athletics led second basemen in percentage. Fred Spurgeon of the Cleveland team came nearest to being in the game at this position every day. He was in 149 games at second base, handled far more chances than any other second sacker and also led in number of double plays.- participated in. i Bishop had the high fielding average of .987 in 119 games, “making but eight errors. Leads Shortstops Emory iSgney of Boston led the shortstops in fielding, and second to him in percentage was Joe Sewell of Cleveland, who continued his record for continuous play, not missing a game—and scarcely an Inning—all season. Jack Tavener of Detroit was out of but one full game. Mark Koenig of the Yankees made most errors among shortstops, but was not last in fielding percentage, because he handled a lot of chances. Bibb Falk of the White Sox topped all outfielders of the league with his high average of .992, made in 357 chances offered, and ail but three taken care of, in 155 games. Falk was in every game his team played. Sixteen pitchers who were in more than ten games did not have an error charged to them. The best performance of this perfect lot was that by Sherry Smith of Cleveland, who handled the seventy-two chances offered him without a skip. George Uhle of Cleveland, being in most innings, naturally had most fielding chanses. He was offered 104 and missed seven of them. Sam Gray of the Athletics was the poorest fielder among pitchers classed as' regulars.

The Indians are going to train at Sanford, Flu. Sanford is a celery and peppers center. That’s the time! “Raise” the athletes in a pepper patch and get ’em red hot! When Carnegie Tech defeated Notre Dame the late Andrew Carnegie got more publicity than his thousands of libraries brought him. ) - ■ Well, She Admits It Suzanne Lenglen, queen of tennis, recently was “adopted” into the Pueblo tribe of Indians and was named Princess Sparkllngwaters. Now we wonder who told the Indians Suzanne likes her champagne? Back to the Woods Paollno TTzcudum, Spanish woodchopper, champion heavyweight pugilist of his native land, is in this country and is eager to make a name for himself. Well, he might go to the uncut timberland and start swinging an ax. Many lumber crews need good woodchpppers and it is suggested the first job for Paolino Izcudum be that of chopping up his own name. The colleges get one benefit out of the rooters uprooting the goal posts celebrating football victories. It gives the boys who “work their way through” a chance for more employment.

Despite its rather unexpected early season defeat by Stanford, 13 to 12, Southern California has one of the outstanding teams not only *>t the West, but the entire country. Coach Howard Jones had hoped to go through his Pacific Conference schedule without a defeat, so that the game with Notre Dame next Saturday, Dec. 4, at Los Angeles, would take on antional Importance. But in the meantime Notre Dame also lost one conflict and the teams will battle Saturday with only one defeat against each. Notre Dame was upset by Carnegie Tech last Saturday and some of the edge has been taken off the big scrap on the Coast, but a hot contest probably will be staged, nevertheless. The “iirsh” are the “underdog” as a result of losing to Carnegie, and it will be interesting to see how they perform with the odds against them. They are accustomed to entering the large majority of their battles on the long end of the betting. The Notre Dame warriors left South Bend late Monday on the long jaunt to California. All choice seats for the Saturday feature have been sold, according to reports from Los Angeles. FINALLY GRAB GAME After dropping seven games in a row, Lehigh’s gridders finally broke the jinx by defeating Rutgers, lt'-O. During the period of reverses, Lehigh failed to count in four tilts.
