Somo ten jears ago the gnmo was undoubtedly on a distinct decline. It was too rough. The spirit of . v. . me players in tne colleges was bad and n aeneral there was stromr criticism t.&? . 'against basketball as a came. President Ullot. of Itanard. characterlrcd the gamo as more brutal than football, and lie meant the football of beforo the reformation of the game In 1906 to the present open game. "Tho basketball rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association went to work with a will to sao tho game. Wo got down to 4. fundamentals. TVe eliminated bodilv contact by clear definition of holding and blocking; we minimised fouling by discriminating between bodily contact fouls and technical Infractions of the rules by calling tho former personal foula and disqualifying a plaer making four In a game; we deflned the dribble and allowed' only a continuous dribble This precntcd much of the feinting' and dodging of the clever, dribbler who lould only be stopped by bodily contact by his guard. "In short,, we put a premium on cleer passing, clean floor woik and accurate shooting. I do not think these are freak rules, nor do I think a game that has been developed In tho last ten jears In the way basket ball has under the amateur rules can be stigmatised by the word 'freak.', CAMBRIA A.C.

C. A church and other organizations These are all playing the amateur rules legislated by the Joint committee referred to above. Pennsylvania Has Good Cage Team H, OW as to tho Pennsylvania team. This team is one of tho best pios- pects I have eer seen. It Is fast, cleer. game and clean. I do not predict, a championship, the field Is too uncertain, Pennsylvania so far has been favored by playing at homo. Tho team Is virtually untried on foreign courts, although the splendid victory over the Navy at Annapolis last month leads to .high hopes, Cornell Is particulars hard to beat at Ithaca. Yale Is always 23 per cent stronger at New Haven, wlillo both Princeton and Columbia arc liald nuts to crack on their own floors. There are, therefore, four exceedingly dimcult matches in store for tho Penn sylvania team and it Is anybody's race, with Cornell looming up as most formidable. 'What I really started out to wilte about, however, Is tho fouling record mado by Pennsylvania lntthe three games plajed to date. It Is true that Pennsjlvanla has committed forty -seven fouls to dato to oppo nents' thirty-seven, or rather the fouls have been called this way. And ytl I stato that Pennsjlvanla Is a cleaner and moro expert team In tho Karnes played to date than any of the teams that have plajed In Weight man Ilnll. If I am right, why Is tho fouling rocord against Pennsjlvanla; "Tho answer is that the qfllclals do not tall tho fouls. 1 will venturo to jsay that the Ynle team committed fifty fouls under the Pennsylvania, basket that weren't called. 'T think I cari prove to unj doubting one that i'cnnsvlvanla has been the cleanest team In thothico Icaguo games Look at tho Held goal record. A team that outscorcs another eight baskets to two, as Pennsylvania did .
