Merrick Dodd, of the Col lege of Law, will leave the Univer sity early in June, for the University of Chicago where he has been ap pointed acting professor of law to teach the subject of equity. Mr. Dodd came to Nebraska in 1923. He is a graduate both of Har vard College and of Harvard Law School, and has had several years experience with important law firms in New York and Boston. His special ties have been corporation law and equity. . Dean H. H. Foster, of the College of Law, made the following state ment concerning Mr. Dodd: "Mr. Dodd is a man of such modesty that persons not closely associated with him are unaware of his ability. As editor of the Nebraska Law Bulletin he has rendered valuable services to the bar of this state. He has also contributed a number of articles to the leading law reviews. His leaving will be a distinct loss to this schooL Of course we cannot successfully compete with law schools which pay professors larger salaries than Ne braska has paid its chancellor and which have libraries many times the size of ours." The fact that both Harvard and Chicago have recently picked men from our law faculty affords us some consolation in that it involves a re cognition of the character of the work that has been done here.

CHARGE OF ROLE IH BASKETBALL National Basketball Committee Restricts Dribbling to Single Bounce CAUSES MUCH COMMENT The National Basketball Committee on Rules which recently met in New York took one of the most drastic steps in the changing of the present basket ball rules, since the game was first organized. The rule which has been causing so much comment re stricts dribbling to a single bounce. Osward Tower. Andover, Massa chusetts, editor of the rule book, states: "Seventy-five per cent of fouls and violations of the rules have resulted from the dribble. Observing that basket ball is essentially a team game the restriction of the dribble would reduce the element of indi vidual play and encourage passing. The committee says that the change was adopted to eliminate roughness and to encourage team play. Black Predicts Long Pass Cam Coach Black stated: "I would favor a rule that would prevent the guards from using the slow, deliberate drib ble in bringing the ball up the floor, sometimes turning and dribbling back. But I think it is a mistake to eliminate the dribble altogether. It is one of the most colorful plays of the game. The Husker basketball coach predicts a return to the long pass game under the new ruling. Clark Smaha, Captain of the 1926- 27 squad and All-Valley forward tate4? TT now ruling w31 hold down the game, and slow f no con siderably. It will not Improve the game at alL There are so many times when the dribble is actually neces sary. Tunc Oat oa Fools Another change provides that time shall be taken out on all fouls. Offi cials and coaches agree that this if a good rule, because it will add at least five minutes more to the game A further change is that the referee is forbidden to blow the whistle or jump" balls except at the beginning of periods and after time out. "The dribble holds an important place in basket ball, and the game of basket ball has shown such r marked increase in interest thaf it seems un wise to tamper with the rules as they stand, stated Coach Browne of the Lincoln High School. Dr. Allen, Coach of basketball and director of athletics, University of Kansas, commented: "l also believe the rule body has been unnecessarily alarmed about contact in the game and are wrong in trying to do away with toe dribble. Contact is not un wholesome when both contestants are playing the LalL Take away legili mate contact and combat from any game and you take away much of its virility.''
