Geneva, April 11.—Collapse of the League of Nations National Disarmament Commission, threatening for a time today when England rejected the French formula for naval limitations, was believed to have been overestimated. The French's proposals were widely supported in other quarters.

The discussion revolved around Paris and Geneva, but further naval seduction and Coe insisted that the French should defer presenting their program until the Coolidge Conference met.

DOCTOR ALLEN DECIDEDLY AGAINST NEW BASKETBALL RULE ALLOWING ONLY ONE BOUNCE ON A DRIBBLE
Athletic Director Says That Much Bodily Contact Will Be Done Away With But Game Will Lose Virility; Rule Makers Have Taken Away a Feature of Court Sport
Opinions on New Dribbling Ruling
"I am decidedly against the rule just made which will do away with the dribble. It will do away with much contact, but contact is not unwholesome; indeed it is a commendable thing when both contestants are playing the ball. Take away the legitimate contact and combat from the game, and you take away much of its virility." Thus Dr. F. C. Allen expressed himself in an interview this morning regarding the change made in the basketball rules which limits the drobbler to one bounce of the ball.
The rule letting the basketball player dribble the ball only once was made at a meeting of the basketball rules committee in New York Saturday. The new rule also allows time to be taken into account for fouls. In the past time was '¢' (¢) only for personal fouls.
"This rule will not affect the Kansas team, because they will be right in there and fight 'em."
Dr. F. C. "Phg" Allen: "I am decided against the rule jit made which will do away with the dribble. It will do away with much contact, but contact is not unwholesome. . . Take away legitimate contact and combat from the game, and you take away much of its virility.
John Saba. "The rule will ruin the game, not only for the teams, but for the spectators, since it will rob the game of its most spectacular play. The dribble is one of the main factors of the offense and the new rule will tend to take individual cleverness."
Dr. James Naismith: "Elimination of the dribble is a step backward in basketball. The main purpose of the dribble is to prevent the ball has been retained by the colleges for this purpose. It is almost impossible for the driller to cause the foul, but the foils are caused mainly by guarding attempt to stop him."
Franklin 'Capeon': "It is a step backwards and will not help the game in any manner, but will slow it up and give the away from the game."

Stories About University Alloat Untrue. Editor Saves
New York, governor April 11—Henry J. Ailen, former governor of Kansas, returned today to New York and commented on the conduct of the American students making the round-the-world educational tour.
Allen, who was on the Ryndam as journalism instructor and editor of the ship's daily newspaper, denied he left the tour because of reports printed in this country of unbecoming conduct on the Ryndam. He said his newspaper business in Kansas required his attention.
Alen said reports printed of parties and drinking among the 500 students on the Rydam, who included a female student named Antoinette generated. He admitted some of the students were drunk at Tokio, and that there was an incident at the Imperial hotel, but said stories reaching her over-emphasized. He denies the incidents.
Alen indored the idea of world tour for students but thought they should not be co-educational, as foreigners did not understand democratic American customs and were apt to be shocked.
Brandt Addresses Psychologists "Applications of Psychology to Higher Education" was the subject discussed at the meeting of Beta Chi Sigma held in room 3, east Administration building, at 4:00 p.m. m. today.

"Dribble Is an Asset"
"The dribble was a decided asset to the offensive team," he continued. "Already the defense with its five-man arrangement made it difficult for the offense to penetrate it. 'Take away the dribble and you take away all the thrill of the game and it will slow the game up considerably."
In comparing football and basketball, Doctor Allen said: "In the game of football, the dribble simulates the ball carrier of football. In basketball the player could not run with the ball, but he could dribble in such a fashion that it give sent-possession simulation in the game of football. The goal in basketball is the goal of the player was the objective to the player who had the ball."
Doctor Allen's comment upon football and basketball came as a result of his observation that he given that basketball is being made as rough as football. He stressed the fact that football has been made like basketball instead of basketball being made in football.
New Style to Be Used
"The pivot in basketball is the name as that used in football; the pass corresponds to the pass in football and the dribble to the play, as the kick in football," he said. Doctor Allen funnel'd a dribble from basketball was to take away the main threat of the game and all of the thrill.
"While the rule makers have endeavored to encourage team play, they have taken away much of the comfort and sense of the tight-knit to the vigorous man," he continued.
When asked if he thought the game would be runed by the new rule, he replied that he thought that much of the interest would be taken away, but that the teams would have to adapt their style to the new rule.
Snot Play to Come
In speaking of the effect on the passing and general all-round offensive ability of the basketball teams; Doctor Allen said;
"The game will now degenerate into a spot passing game. The dribble afforded a team an opportunity to drive off at an angle leading the defense off to a tangent. Then they pass the ball, with the player on the ball in his possession "reversed" the field, thereby placing the offensive side into a decided strategic position for the shot at the basket. As a result of the new rule, the teams using this system will have to change their tactics and make direct passes, thereby robbing the game of the plot and putting the team down by sending the team draw the defensive team away from the basket.
Kansas Style Successful
"The pass and dribble which are used in the zone game, played by Kansas, Nebraska and Washington, have always been used by Kansas coaches, is one of the most successful forms of the game. The defensive zone, where the players are given certain zones in which they station themselves. The guards and center come down the field, draw the defensive away and pass to their forwards. The game as played in this manner is not rough and has been used successfully by the Kansas hakeholders for several years. The passing game into a spot passing affair, as has already been mentioned."
The main reason given for the change in the rules was that the druble increased ronginess and the druble increased ruckness. Doctor Alexi stated: "The drubber is not the cause of so many fouls being made, but it is the guard. The drubber coming down the field is usually going at a faster rate of speed than
