Elimination of Hand Behind Back Rule . By The* AMiK-lated Prew. NEW YORK, April 11.—Three radical chances In the basket hall playing rules were adopted hy the joint committee of the Y. M. C. A. and the A. A. l\ and the National Collegiate Athletic asso ciation at its annual meeting here today. The changes include I he abolition of all zones, the elimination of tile hand behind the hark rule In rase of a jump hall and a provision that s hall which hits the edge of the hack hoard will he considered in play unless il caroms out of hounds. These alterations were made to unify- Ihe playing rode and to standardize the came as played in the east and west. The rule makers were confronted with the task of satisfying all sec tions of the country In regard to rule changes. The previous rules ^ had been modified by the western con ference and the game changed to suit conveniences in that section. The Eastern Intercollegiate league also had taken some liberty with the play ing code with the result that when east met west the contending teams interpreted the rules differently which confused the officials. The rule which abolishes the plac ing of the band behind the back was modified so that the same result is obtained. The law makers inserted a clause in this rule which reads: "Any use of the hand, not used in tapping the bail, shall be construed as a personal foul.’’ The rule abolishing the zones was supplemented by a rule which reads: ‘’When a player is routed in the act of shooting for a goal in any part of the floor, two free throws shall be awarded to the player fouled.” The judgment of the referee in regard to an infrac tion of this rule shall be supreme, the rule makers decreed. Another isile was changed to read: "When the ball hits the edge of the bark hoard and rebounds into the playing court it shall be in play." This rule was rewritten to save time, the rule makers said, as heretofore a lean lias immediately been declared out of bounds when it hit tlie edge of the hark hoard. Tils word “face" was inserted in the rule covering the painting of the back hoard. The former rule made it mandatory tor a team to paint its back board white, but teams evade«~* -1 the regulation by painting the back ^ white and leaving the lace its natural color. I'nder the new rule teams will he forced to paint the face of the board white. Overtime period* in high school games will be three minutes long in stead of five. Although this change takes the form of a suggestion it will be inserted into the official guide as a definite rule.
