Four Such Conferences Were Held-Circular Letters to Be Sent to the High Schools. At the basket-ball conference Saturday the changes in the rules of the game for this year were discussed and the interpretation of the rules under which the teams represented would play this season were decided upon. Many of the rules this year differ from those of times past and it was necessary for the conference to begin with the very first section and work through the entire book. Dr. Naismith opened the meeting with a short discussion of the differences between the Eastern and Western view of the sport. "In the East," he said, "very little attention is paid to the lesser fouls, while in the west the care with which they are watched is excessive. In order that the sections may not drift too far apart there is being held today four conferences beside this one. All these conferences, though informal, will make a report to the rules committee." Manager Lansdon was elected chairman of the meeting and the rules were discussed with the following results: The A. A. U. rule in regard to out of bounds was adopted instead of the Inter-Collegiate. This permits a man who has just received the ball, and who has a foot on the boundry line, which is out of bounds this year, to at once step inside and put the ball in play. Dribbling over head and from one player to another is legitimate as is the ordinary form of dribble. The rule of the Chicago conference that it is allowable to use the body block as a defense against the dribble if the guarding player did not charge was adopted. The officials for this district are to be chosen two weeks before the game from a list of acceptable men suggested and approved by those present at the conference. It was decided to send a circular letter to high schools advising the use of the Inter-collegiate rules in their games in order that the players be better acquainted with these rules should they enter college.

The paleontology department is now working on what is considered one of the most valuable finds of last summer's expedition. It is that of a shark, found in the Kansas rocks. What makes it of especial value are the gizzard stones found with the sperimen, for nothing similar has ever been found before. The presence of the stones indicates that they either belong to the shark or that the shark ate Plesiosaur, which measured about forty feet in length. The specimen dates from Niobrara Cretaceous age, or about 20,000 years ago. Are Working on a Shark.
