THE KANSAS RELAYS HE University of Kansas is pleased to an- nounce the twelfth Kansas Relays, April 21, 1934, This event which has grown through the years into a national institution affords opportunity for high class competition to the picked track and field stars of universities, colleges and junior colleges throughout the United States. The splendid response in all the years of its existence to the Kansas Relays by coaches and athletes in widely scattered states has convinced the Kansas management that there is a definite place and real need for this event. The program of events is practically the same as in the past and with the exception of the decatlon will be on Saturday, April 21. For the most part the ideal climatic condi- tions which have prevailed during the Kansas Relays of the past eleven years has been al- most ideal. April is really mid-spring in Kansas, and there is every chance that pleasant weather conditions will prevail on April 21 in Memorial Stadium of the University of Kan- sas at Lawrence. aa Program of Events (Including Meet Records) Note—Preliminaries in the 100 yard dash and 120 yard high hurdles will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday.

It will be open to any university or college athlete in good standing with his conference, or to any athlete in good standing with the A. A. U. Five events of the decathlon will be held Friday afternoon, April 20, and the re- maining five events will be held Saturday morning, April 21. The Friday afternoon events of the decathlon are: 100 meters run, running broad jump, 16-pound shot put, run- ning high jump, and 400 meters run. The Sat- urday morning events of the decathlon are: 110 meters high hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1,500 meters run. The decathlon was won last year by Charles Child- ress, Missouri State Teachers Collegs, War- rensburg, Mo., with 7454.04 points. The decathlon record of 8022.4025 points made in 1932 is held by James Bausch, Kansas City Athletie Club. A ONE DAY MEET But a single day is required for the regular program of events of the Kansas Relays, a feature which permits competition with mini- mum absence from school. Transportation facilities to and from Law- rence are abundant. Main lines of the Union Pacific, Santa Fe and Rock Island railroads bring many passenger trains daily. There is also hourly service by bus. ALUMNI REUNIONS Kansas City, with 500,000 population, is only forty-five miles from Lawrence and affords ample opportunity for track teams to stop over for meetings with alumni. In the past many teams have taken advantage of this oppor- tunity. ACCOMMODATIONS The Eldridge Hotel at Lawrence provides quarters for many visiting teams. Kansas City, only an hour’s ride by train or two hours by bus, also affords a score of fine hotels and the comfortable quarters of the Kansas City Athletic Club which makes special rates to athletic teams. Topeka, the capitol of Kansas, is but twenty-seven miles to the west of Law- rence, connected by two paved highways, and there, too, several high class hotels afford room for visiting athletes. DRESSING ROOMS AND LOCKERS Memorial Stadium contains dressing rooms, lockers and showers ample to accommodate all visiting athletes. ELIGIBILITY The eligibility rules of the American Relays Association will apply to all contestants and teams. To be eligible to compete in the University Class relays and the Special Events the insti- tution must observe the one-year-residence rule, the three-year rule, and the amateur rules. This means no freshmen may enter events in these classes and that no institution may enter men who have previously had three years competition. To be eligible to compete in the College Class relays the institution must be in good standing with the members of its state or other major college conference in its territory. To be eligible to compete in the Junior Col- lege Class relay the institution must be in good standing with its state association. RULES OF COMPETITION The rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association shall govern in each event. AWARDS The only awards given at the Twelfth Kan- sas Relays will be challenge cups awarded to the winning team in each relay race. REDUCED FARES Reduced rates of a fare and a third for the round trip have been granted by railroads for participants in the Twelfth Annual Kansas Relays. Special announcement concerning re- duced rates will be sent prospective contest- ants later.

PUBLICITY MATERIAL The national importance of the Kansas Re- lays has resulted in widespread publicity of the event, both in news stories and pictures of athletes competing. In order to insure the proper notice of all athletes coming to the twelfth annual Kansas Relays it is desired that pictures of outstanding performers on track or field, and information on records made this season be forwarded as soon as possible to F. C. Allen, Robinson Gymnas- ium, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Directors of athletics and track coaches will oblige greatly by calling attention of their publicity directors to this request. os 10/8 - ue nit Walernel HOT F — ° < Ou tTcrae bit Beat pucaily | ’ ae 773e TO THE CHARTERED BOARDS OF APPROVED BASKETBALL OFFICIALS: The Rules Revision Committee begs to submit the following 7 for your approval: ommunieation was sent to every state, district, and loeal yen lecated in the United Sta and its saeneeennem, and Candda, Although the res e was not as gratify committee had hoped, never ess valuable. tions “the nature of rules changes were made by s number of the boards. In addition, suggestions were received from officials not def- initely arfilieted with any board. The changes which were suggested were carefully studied. pr es have been re-phrased and re-worded. Others were e Cus One glaring weakness of this report is thet it represents the judgment of only one member of the committee. Boards were in sending their eee ee in fact, some were received too late to get a report to other members of the committee. The chairman of the committee realizes, however, that when the sug- gested changes are brought to the attention of the assembled group, that the members of the committee, as well as others, will have an opportunity to discuss them. It is to be regretted that the other members of » committee did not have a chance to weigh earefully the a. which eame in. Perhaps another year, due to the education oa shis year, the newly appointed committee will experience a more generous response from the members of the various boards. fhe chairman suggests that next year a communication go out from the president of our association, urging upon each board the importance of fi rules changes with the chairmen of the rules revision commit in sufficient time so that each member of the committee may study the suggestions and make recommendations that can be incorporated in the final report. It is hoped that it will te possible for the aembers of the committee to read through the suggestions made before they are brought up for discussion before the assembled group. The chairman wishes to take this opportunity to thank these who did make reports. Without their help, the report would have been rather barren in constructive suggestions. Respectfully submitted: The sates Revision Count ttes. a cet car OR BES * number of the Boards have asked for a rule which will govern the playing on floors in which the side walls and end walls represent the side and end lines,respectively. These came Soards also complein of low ceilings. As a re~ sult of these conditions,the home ¢ ub generally séeks an advantage by formins their een ground rules on which the epponents ¢o not always agree. MMfferent floors have dif- ferent rules. It has been reported that games have been de- iayed often as long as an hour before em agreement has been reached. | ta. 45 wuch as these conditions exist¢ in a widely dis- tributed area ’ the o ommittee | recoumends. thet ‘the -pules committee give consideration te the following recommende- tious to be known es Item 1, and Ytem 2, to included in Bection £ of Bnle 1. ere ae | | item 1. 3 , | On all floors which Bave’ one or more walk for bowndry lines, the bsll shall be consdé-red ont of bounds when it or the wen in postession of {t, touches the Wall in any manner, “ es Item 2 , Ya! | On adi fleors with lor ceilings,the ball shall be awarded to the op onents out of bounds if a thrown ball strixes the ceiling or any object attached. te it. # One board. presidi@ent reported have been ealled on - two different cecasions concerning the merking out of s @ourt. 4t wes alieged thet the explanation and the diagram were not clear.

Change to read, It shall be i inch in width,and extend parallel ‘to, and ate distance of 17 feet from its back edge to the inner sdge of the end line. i de Mer eee Se) hom Boards have reported that the provisions in Rule 5, Sect 5, have been grossly violated and abused. Some coaches have the aversion to giving in their line up. They like to sce the oppos- ing line up handed in a few seconds before the game i s sched- wuled to start, end then take their team off the floor for several minutes, give them their"agsignments" and by the use of "psychology" of delay interfere with the spirit and morale of the other teem. One Board reported a game in which team delayed the beginning, :fter the other teem was ready to go, more than ten minutes. Cbviously, such taeties do not help eithe the game or the interests of the spectators im it. If somethingisn't done ahout it there will be developed a condition simulating the "stellins* tacties of a few years ago. Perheps legislation is mot the best wey to deal with these offenders. Ve reconcend that consideration be given to the following: ue The second sentence of Sule 5,Sectionl to read, He shell,cive te the scorers,at least two minutes before the time for the gase to begin, the lineup of the players of each teem together with their numbers and respective positions. If either team is not om the floor ree ‘dy to play ct the specified times technics] foul shall be awarded the offended team for eech half minute (cor fraction thereof) of deley after the first minute : ¢ : Yany officials in different sections have réported that gcmes have been won end lost heeuena of the feilure @m their pert to hear the timers signal. In some instances only horns were provided. In others gongs. and in still others pistols. In some imstences the pistols heve fuiled to funetion. Goal was made. Thts decided the game. “Disputes aroce. The enly thing the officiel could do according to the rule wes te alijow the goel.. Eome offieiels followed the praetice of requiring the timers to sound both the whistle and pistol at the same “time. bven this is not fool rrofif. 1S is recommended that the second clause in the first sentence of Section 16, Euis five, yeas and shall indiexte with a péstol and whistle the expiration of the ectwnl pisying time in each helf ‘or quarter. . # some players intentiomally or eccidentally shuft "le both, feet when they have posseseion of the ball. This gives them kittie or no advantege. Some officials sre very strict in ealline this vielation-and rightly se,if they fellow the interpretation of the rules. This often puts them in bad. Some sections report that often three steps are allowed.

This signal would be similar to the one he now ages when 4 player is in the act of tossing a ball from the free throw line. : # | The eee ef basketball makes it inadvisable to have much personel contact among the players, However, personal contect is unavoidable, It is necessary, then, to. _ define what type of personal comtact shall constitute a foul, Thepretically,any personal contact is a foul. ractically,and for the sake of the best interest of the geme, only rough personel contact and contact that actually interferes with the rights of the opponents and the success of the play which the opponent is making, should constitute a foul, Oftem en official calls a foul on the guard, who, in attempting to strike the ball from the hands of a @ribbler, misses the ball and strikes the dribbler's arms There has been no roughness, The dribbler continues on. iS ili tia down the floor and makea a basket or a pess, which ultimately resulte {mn a basket. - gach @ cage the penalty has really part = the dribbler.

JOINT BASKETBALL COMMITTEE Oswatp Tower, Editor ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS January 8, 1934. Dre F. C. Alien, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Dear Phog: Thank you for sending a copy of your fine letter to Craig Ruby. I had already written to Major Griffith and have received permission from him to use any or all of the pictures in the Guide, As you know, we have found it difficult to get pictures which it is safe to use; that is, most of our pictures open the way to more controversy than they settle. Ruby's pictures strike me as being remarkably free from such objections. It seems to me that it would be well for the special committee of which you are chairman to submit these as part of your report to the National Committee. Sincerely yours, STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HYGIENE AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Division of Physical Education (Including Athletics) Men Students’ Health Service Division of Informational Hygiene University Health Service STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA March 16, 1934 Dr. F.

As a member of our Research Com-— mittee, I would appreciate it very much if you would send to me in- mediately the report of your work during the past year. President Mundorff has requested that our report be placed in his hands in written form prior to the meeting.

I wrote the same general letter to all of our committee members, However, I feel that you and I are going to have to carry a great deal of the load on pictures and other rules matters, I remember that we did not have a _ very enthusiastic reception of our research work last ycer and for that reason I am very anxious to see that we get across a lot better this year than we did last, : : I am wondering if it would be possi- ble to get your projector and your reel and put on a program before the Rules b thet would be really worth while. If you could get to New York a day carly, if you are not at Atlanta, we could get together om some very definite work. The pictures that we took at Havana If have never had the opporturity of see- ing yet and I would appreciate a very close and friendly dis~- cussion with you concerning the necessary pictures to present. The pictures that Craig Ruby took, that appeared in the Athletic Journal, I have been very pleased . with and it is with the idea of suggesting to the Rules Commit- tee that certain pictures such as those be incorporated into the Rules book as a guide toward clearing up moot points, John Bunn of Stanford is the Research Committee chairman of the Caches Association and after our meet- ing at Atlanta, I expect to get the digest of thet ee and collaborate with you and others of our committee, especially Rowe, Tower and Meanwell, in presenting some worth while material to our Riles body. ’ Panyan
