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.

not bo determined whether or not
thoy wore diamonds. Some of tho
diamonds wero very tiny and some

Ono girl woro a diamond sorority
pin, but tho rest of the diamonds In
evidence were set in rings. Most of
them woro solitaires, worn on .-the
right hand. One girl had four and said
she usually woro five. A number of
these rings appeared to bo heirlooms.
Most of tho diamonds, tho young
women say, camo as a gift from tholr
fathers whon they were graduated
from high school. In ono graduating
class whore thoro wore nineteen girls
each woro a diamond ring on com
mencement day.

With tho freshman laws starting the

for his money. Following tho dlnnev
thoro will bo a series of toasts by
prominent students and alumni. Plans
for tho toast-list aro not yet qulto
complete, but it Is 'believed that a
prominent, Lincoln business man will
bo secured to introduce tho speakers.
The speeches will bo of interest- to
every student, and tho man who misses
tho banquet will lose something which
he cannot well afford to go without:
Tickets are selling at ll'por plato
