New Dribble Rule Will Be Discussed at Drake Meeting
Nearly All Valley Coaches and Western Mentors Seem to Oppose New Law
"Practically all the coaches of the Missouri Valley Conference and the Big Ten schools are against the dribble rule," said Dr. F. C. Allen this morning, when interviewed on the meeting of coaches which is to be held in Des Moines this week and in connection with the Drake Relays, he said it was called to mentors a chance to discuss the new no-dribble law which was recently passed by the national rules committee.
Charley Corsaut of the Kansas Argie coaching staff is against the rule but is willing to play under the new legislation for one year. The only coach in the Missouri Valley Conference who favors the rule, who is the representative of all the mid-west coaches to the national rules committee and who was one of the mea instrumental in passing the recent restricted dribble law. All the other coaches are opposed to the rule. Only one coach in the Kansas Conference is like "Lacon of Baker University."
Writer Suggests Meeting
The meeting at De Mosses was suggested by Bert McGrane, sports writer for the Daily Mail and "Scee" Taylor, who is sport editor of the same paper. These men attended the Kansas Reyls and conferred with Doctor Allen as to the probability of such a meeting at that time.
"This meeting will attract coaches from all the western states," said Doctor Alen, "Coaches from the Missouri Valley, Big Ten, North and South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, and the far western states will send representatives to the Drake Rebels, which are being held the same day, April 15." He would discuss the style of basketball or next year."
Men from the eastern institutions will not be present since they will be participating in the famous Penn Relays, which are held the same week end. The eastern mentors and athletic directors are largely responsible for the new ruling and seem to highly favor its enforcement.
Doctor Allen is not antagonistic to the national rule making body and does not wish to be made so. He stands is shown clearly in a recent telention sent to Mr. McGrane of the Monsieur Register, in which he says:
Allen Against Rule
"Emphatically opposed to the autocratic attitude of basketball rules committee action in their legalization, Committee digressed from usual questionnaire method and without any other knowledge that had been tried once and found wanting. The popularity of the game as played is doomed unless some action is taken to put on kick the opposing team's ability that has been taken away."
Signed; F. C. Allen.
Signed! F. C. Allen.
"I am not battling the role as muscled as I am fighting the role said Doctor Allen. "We can play the game without the dribble for on year and then fight to change it now year. The new rulings has not yet been printed, however, and there is a chance that they will be victory by means of a referendum. The members of the commission are not regularly chosen as to section and equal representation. The rule was made by eastern coaches and the team is likely to discard the dribble would make easier to referee the game."
"The dribble is an intuition," according to Doctor Allen. "The little boy of five years, with his first basketball, bounces the ball before he even attempts to toss it through the basket. To say that the new rule will do away with all body contact I should. The players are taught to play the ball and not the man under the ball." When the ball is rushed as soon as it has taken his only permissable bounce.
"The new rule will only strengthen

the defense and make impossible an offense that depends upon its drive into the basket. A man must bounce the ball and either pass it or about. Long aba will become the vogue in playing well and scintillating team play."
Doctor Allen is the receiver of many letters from this section of the country that are clearly antagonistic to the new ruling. Many are from persons who never coached or played basketball but are interested in the game from the spectator's point of view.
"The new style of play will not prevent the Kansas team from fighting all next season but it will rob the game of much of its fine qualities. We are going to fight until we have an equal voice in the making of 'rules that effect us so much,' said Doctor Allen in closing the interview.

The middle of the fourth week of the Missouri Valley baseball season finds the University of Kansas deadlocked in four place with Missouri, each team having won three games and lost three.
The Kansas Aggies and Washington are sharing the lead with perfect percentages. The fact that each of these teams has a perfect percentage can hardly be taken as a measure of their ability, however, as the Aggies have played only two games and the Bears only one. The Aggies invade Lawrence the first and then the Bunn's Jayhawks and the results of these two games will probably change the standings to some extent.
Oklahoma, rated as the strongest team in the Valley, has lost only one game out of six and will probably play in Oklahoma this week. The Valley bengal. Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Aggies meet on Thursday and Friday of next week.
Missouri and the Sooner Aggles
met in Columbia in a double header yesterday, each team winning one. They meet again today in two more games. The strength of the Tiger not is definitely known but they have a strong pitching staff and will probably make trouble for all of the conference teams.
The showing of the Kansas team against the Oklahoma Agygies this week was gratifying to Kansas fans. In both of the games they showed a strong defense and in the second game displayed a hitting attack which should put many games in the won column.
Particularly pleasing was the class of pitching dished out by Swenson and Anderson. Swenson's one hit game on Monday was one of the best he has ever displayed in a Jayahawk uniform. He has a nice assortment of curves and knows when to use them.
Anderson's pitching of the next day was almost as good and with the support he was given that day, he should come through for several more wins. He pitched a four-hit performance as Swenson, but he should develop as the season progresses.
