It re difficult to determine just when # man was in the act of shooting and this rule was seldom enforced. The new rule, allowing two free tries for a man fouled in his own goal zone, certainly makes the penalty more directly fit the crime. This will increase, somewhat, the number of foul goals scored from personal fouls, but will not overbalance the decreased number of foul goals which will result from some of the old technical fouls now penalized by giving the ball to the opponents, out of bounds. Another rule which is bound to be noted by the spectator {s the rule which forbids the incoming substitute communicating in any way with other play- ers on the floor except thru the official until after the play has been resumed, This rule is patterned after the similar rule in football which is calculated EDITOR'S NOTE: Changes tn basketball rules made by the rules committees In Now York last April are discussed by players and fans at every game, Most of the changes had to do with fouls, These, and the reasons for making them, are explained In the following article written especially for The Star Service by Lynn W, St. John, director of athletion at Ohio State University and a member of the rules committes, BY LYNN W. ST. JOHN HE changes in basket ball rules for 1922-23 will not affect in any large way the style of play, It has been definitely recognized for some time that penal- ties for fouls needed some revision. For example, practically the only penalty for foul plays in basketball has been a free throw and this penalty has been inflicted whether a player committed a technical violation, such as advancing with the ball or breaking a dribble, or whether the foul committed was a vigorous personal foul for holding or pushing an opponent. It was felt that penalties should more nearly fit the offense committed. The rules this year provide, therefore, that technical viola- tions of the rules, such as running with the ball, kicking the ball or striking it with the fist, violation of the jumping rule but by giving the ball to the opponent out of bounds at the side of the floor nearest the point where such violation occurred. This will operate to re- duce the part that foul goals play in the final score. On the other hand, a zone has been marked off at either end of the floor which may be termed the “scoring zone.” A team’s scoring zone is that zone in which the basket lies in which said team is trying to score. Under the new rule if a personal foul is committed against a player in his own scoring zone, his team is to be allowed two free tries for goals. 8T. youn and breaking of a dribble, are penalized, not by a free throw, It will be noted that this rule replaces the old rule which permitted the to minimize the contact of the coach with the team on the floor. 3 I 6“ ” * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * ” *” * * *” * * * * * » ese & * * * } ELY BEFORE GREAT WEST VIRGINIA ELEVEN Walter Camp’s All-American Teams California End Only inne Coast Man on Eleven GONZAGA FALLS GAM Breaks Beat Spokane Team by 21-13 Score First Eleven Third Eleven End...........-Taylor, Annapolis......

It was Nick, hae i but 150 pounds, the lightest man on the field, who squirmed and dodged his way thru the left end of Gonzaga’s line for big gains in the early criticism.
