Basketball Contest To Show Proposed Changes of Rules
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1934
Twelve Foot Baskets Wil
-Be Used in Game on
Robinson Court
Tonight
Basketball practice for spring will close tonight with a life-sized game under the proposed changed rules that are to be used next December in two games with Kansas State.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics and basketball coach, has wanted to try out a number of proposed changes in basketball rules under actual playing conditions. The game tonight will start at 7:30 in Robinson gym, and there will be two games on Sunday. The invitation is invited to witness the game. Ample seatings will be provided.
For the start of the game, the variety veterans will oppose freshmen, but both squads will draw from the same reserves. The starting lineup:
varsity Freshman
Ray Eibling f Al Wellhausen
Wilmer Shaffer f Roby Nale
Dick Wells f Fred Pralle
K. Kappelman g Paul Rogers
Milton Allen g Dave Lutten
Reserves: James Landes, Robert Wilthelm, Bill Decker, Bob Holmes, Sid Rice, John Grist, Clifford Barber, and James Kinaaid.
To Use 12-foot Baskets
Doctor Allen and Frosty Cox will refer ed, Edible will keep score, and Mike Getto will be time-keeper. Elibel's class in physical education will keep charts on the number of throws, point of origin, and the like.
10 Use 12-foot Baskets
Baskets to be raised to 12 feet from the floor. Baskets to be moved six feet instead of two inside the end lines. Field goals to count three points; free throws one point.
Among the innovations to be tried will be:
Personal fouls are to be thrown for the basket in the end of the court where the foul occurs. Technical fouls occur when the basket the defended team elects.
When a foul is made by the team on the offensive, and the free throw is made for the opponent's basket, time is out until the ball is again thrown up at center. That is, on an other-end-of-the-court free throw, the ball is not in play until after the score has been made or the basket definitely missed.
Only Two Players Inside Circle
A circle six feet in diameter will be drawn about the central two-foot jumping circle, and two-foot circles will be inscribed inside the six-foot free-throw circles at the end of the free throw lanes. Those lanes shall be taller than at the beginning of a period, or following a score or a held ball, it shall be from one of the three circles.
When the ball is tossed, only the two players jumping may be inside the two-foot circle and the other eight players must be outside the six-foot circle.

Names of Towns in Kansas Come From Many Sources, Crafton Save
Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic arts, recently gave an interesting lecture over radio station KFKU in which he listed the origin of the names of many Kansas towns. The origins are as varied as the names themselves, Professor Crafton said.
The names of a great number of towns have their origin in Indian names, Osawatomi is a name made up of two names; Osage and Pattawatomi, and was a settlement located at the junction of two streams, the Osage and the Pattawatomi, Waubonsein originally, perhaps, wau-Bon-sie means, in the Pattawatomi tongue, "Dawn of Day." Tonganache was named for an Indian chief who settled near the town site and was well liked by the settlers. Saricoxe was named after the Delaware chief, Saricoxe, as was Wathena named after the Kickapoo chief of that name. Osakloosa is a double name made up by a combination of the names Oska, a brave, and Loosa, his squaw.
Besides names derived from braves, squaves and chieftains, several names were derived from Indian phrases or expressions. Ole is the Shawnee Ola-the, meaning "The beautiful." White

More Students Than Year Ago Prepare for Next Fall
Lincoln, Neb., May 15—Early registration for the fall term was ahead or last year when the registration offices were closed Saturday noon, according to figures given out by Dr. R. A. Coundman, chairman of the assignment committee at the University of Nebraska. With complete reports from some of the colleges, 2550 blanks have been filled out by resident students as compared with 2,478 a year ago. There is also a slight increase in the engineering college, according to Dean O. J. Furgeson, with expectations for a further increased enrollment this fall as is also true in the teachers college.
The enrollment will be further increased with the enrollment of new students next fall as well as that of old students who return for additional work and the further registration of resident students who failed to register during the past week. Late registrants and further reports from the colleges are expected to increase the enrollment total for this spring.
Agitation for early enrollment at the University of Kansas has played a prominent part in campus politics this spring with the ultimate provision for the early enrollment of working students. The early enrollment of seniors last semester for second semester is an attempt to secure early enrollment at Kansas and was somewhat in the nature of an experiment.
