Tho voto stood G to 3, all threo of the dissenting votes be ing froshmon. This con tost grow out of tho rogu lar lntorclas8 gamoB hold at tho stato farm a week ngo Tuesday. At that tlmo tho Bophomoro and freshman and Junior and sonlor teams playod tho preliminary gamoB that woro to dccldo the two toams to bo loft for tho finals.

Tho Bophomorcs pro tcBfod tho gamo boforo It was called, and woro advlaod by tho chairman of tho board that If tho freshmen instat ed on playing tho lnollglbles tho gamo Bhould bo forfoltod. Tho gamo was thus playod under protest, and tho Bophomorcs managor and coach immo dlatoly bropght tho mattor boforo tho board, with tho result noted abovo. At yoBtorday'a mooting nlno mom bora woro proaont, threo froshmon, throo Bophomorca, ono Junior and two seniors.

Junlor-8ophomore Game Tuesday. Tho decision 6f tho athlotlc board clears tho Hold and narrows tho cham pionship contest down to tho finals. Tho dato of tho championship gamo botweon tho Junlore and sophomores has boon sot for noxt Tuesday at 2:30. Tho contest will likely tako place on Nobraska flold, unless woathor condi tions mako It Impossible. It is hoped that tho weather will bo fine enough to permit many to witness tho gamo. So far this year owing to tho rain and other causes but lltjlo interest has beon manifested In tho class contests. Tho result 1b that tho sweater fund Is rathor low and un less interest picks up tho winning team will be, compelled to purjehaso their own trophies. There surely ought to bo enough appreciation shown by tho mombora of tho school for the bard work these teams havo done in upholding thoir class honors to cause enough' members of tho classes to got out and aid thoir team in at least this small way.

CONFERENCE ATTITUDE ON BASKETBALL RULES ANNOUNCEMENT MADE OF INTER PRETATION8 ADOPTED. SOME CHANGES ARE PROMULGATED Rules With Reference to Dribbling, Fouls, Holding, Blocking, and Other Points Receive Attention. Dr. It. G. Clapp yostorday aftornoon announced tho action of the Missouri Valloy conforonco meet In Dob Moines last week with regard to basketball rules. Soveral important changes are made, notably those respecting dribb ling, blocking, and passing, tho ball out of bounds. Following aro the Inter pretations of tho conference: A substitute shall not enter a gamo excepting tho ball is dead, and ho shall immediately report to tho rof- oreo, notlfylngLhim by a slip of Paper;.;, m B Mlnor containing his name and that of tho player for whom ho Is substituted. A ball passed from out of boundB to out of bounds without touching a player in transit shall be given to tho opposing side where It last crossed tho boundary lino. If the ball strikes an official and goos out of bounds It is ten men's ball. Players shall bo allowed the same privilege as in tho past in advancing with tho ball in their possession, name ly, a player shall be allowed ono and one-half stepB. Tho dribble shall end when a player makes more than a half turn or holds tho ball moro than momentarily. Any holding shall be considered a foul. Dollborato hacking shall bo con sidered a form of striking. Hacking Is defined as striking an opponent's arm or wrist with tho heel or outer sldo of tho hand. Jt soemd to bo tho opinion of tho committee that hacking can only be dono Intentionally, as a man Btrlking for the ball and missing tho samo will not strike his opponent with tho heel or outer Bldo of the hand, but with tho palm, and, therefore, all hacking shall bo deomod a violation of tho rules. Bumping a player with tho chest is to bo construod as such Interference. It is legitimate interference for a player to step in front of an opponent providing ho does not charge, push or use unnecessary roughness. Either a good gong or a good pistol bo used to signal tho termination of tho halves. When a ball goes out of bounds and touches a spectator it shall be given to tho nearest eligible player, and If tho official is in doubt, it shall bo tossed up between the two opposing players nearest tho ball at tho point whero It crossed tho line. Tlmo may bo taken out, on account o'f Injury to a player, not moro than throo times for each, team during a half by requoBt of captains. In case of an injury to a player at tho end of tho Hole whero rofereo can not sco him, that tho umpire shall havo tho privilege of calling time. "Disqualifying fouls" muBt bo per sonal fouls as covered by rule 22, sec tions 4 and 5, which pertain to fouls mado on tho man, and the scorer is rq qulred to Indicate such fouls On his record by the letter "P" with subscript numeral, whereas the ordinary foul is recorded by a dot (.) or dash ( ). (Rule 22, Sections 4 and 5. Holding, blocking,. pushing, tripping and unnec essary roughness.) It was the sense of the meeting that tho scorers should notify, tho referee when the fourth personal foul has been called on a player, and that the rof ereo should notify and warn such player. It was the sehBO of the, meeting that the scorer should notify the referee as to the number of times that time has boon taken out by each team and that tho reforco Bhould notify tho captains to thlB effect.
