ALLEN RECOMMENDS SOME REVISED RULES
Director of Athletics Think Basketball Rulings Too Complicated Now
PROPOSES SLOWER GAME
That the game of basketball is becoming too complicated is the opinion expressed by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, in an interview recently. Doctor Allen also stated that the rule allowing men to be returned to a game after having taken色 wrestle in a good role and ought to be retained.
Would Have Each Player Take Turn at Free Throwing
The rule prohibiting a player frog taking any steps at all before starting to dribble is in "Phog's" opinion a bad one an dendrops to up a game. The Big Ten Conference and most of the Missouri Valley officials have interpreted it to that mean the rear or pivot foot cannot be moved so as to complete a step after the ball has been received. It is often tended to accumulate the game in the court as to eliminate many fouls on the part of the guards, but tends to make the game slower and more complicated. It provides that a step may be started but not completed when commencing a dribble.
In answer to a question that Mr. Cleverman had asked Dr. Allen as to whether a distinction should be made between the penalty for personal and technical fouls, he wrote, "Personally I believe the penalty for personal and technical fouls should be the same. There is too much technicality now."
He recommended also in order to make the free throw worth more in point of effort that the free throw line be moved back to the twenty-foot mark. At present the basket is in reality but thirteen feet nine inches from the free throw line instead of fifteen feet it pops up, apparently supposed. What was that a field goal be counted as three points, though this would be objectionable on account of the resulting large scores, according to him.
In a letter to Coach Cleverden of M. U. recently regarding the revision of rules last week, Doctor Allen said, "I have been against this rule and believe it will only slow up the game. We can permit it for one season to acustom the men to the discipline and then let it drop."
A delithe territory within which a forward would be free fero personal fouls has been recommended by Doctor Allen, a penalty of ts fero personal fouls allowed for personal fouls within an ar of ten feet from the basket.
Another suggestion made by the director of athletics was that each player be required to take his turn at free throw, thus eliminating the development of specialists in the art of basket throwing from the line. He would also allow a player more accuracy with the basketball, according to Doctor Allen
New York, March 21. They used to say uncompetitive things about New York because the bip town fell for a six-day bike race.
Six Day Race Spreads And Develops Scandal
Things have changed though. New Yorkers don't fall for one six-day race now—they fall for four of 'em.
Three of the long grinds have already been staged this winter and a fourth is in the making.
As it is a puzzle to the population of those "slow districts" outside of the "world's greatest city," so it is to a great many foreigners who wonder what there is in the American to make such a sport popular.
Victor Breyer, prominent French sport author, writing in "Sporting Life" (London) recently commented on this peculiarity, and also gave some insight into his six-day race in Brussels, which apparently was not a six-day affair.
"Ever since the American originated the six-day craze," he writes, with their famous Madison Square cycle race, the success of these events, not only across the 'herring pond', but in most European countries has been a source of wonder to the average sporting mind. As one who has witnessed many such utterly unable to understand why crowds flock to attend them whether in New York, Paris, Brussels or Berlin.
"Be that as it may, six-day dresses had so far been free of that sort of complaint which marked the event just concluded a week ago in Brussels, and which are nothing short of gaudalous.
"Every morning at about seven the hall was cleared of spectators in order to have the building cleaned. Only a few people would try to repair, outside the competitors.
"It turns out that when the crowd, has gone, the riders follow suit. The crowd goes off in a period varying between one hour and two hours, during which the contestants did as they pleased. Some left the building to go into town and make
In the meantime Paris is in turn 'treatened' with a six-day affair which is advertised to take place at the French Embassy on 24 March. It remains to be seen whether the disclosures reported in connections with the Brussels event will affect the tremendous gate which hosts the Parisian promoters to expect."
Court Clerk Had $2,000,000 Nineteen Days Unknown
Detroit, Mich., April 26. (United Press.)-Henry Ford, clerk in a Detroit court recently had $2,000,000 for 19 days and didn't know it.

He is no relative of the multimilionaire automobile manufacturer. In fact, he doesn't even know him. But both belong to the same lodge of Masons and both deposit in the same bank.
One bright morning Ford—the less amous—opened his mail and found a credit on his bank slip for the two dollars he had lost in a sleaying, it embarrassed him, for when he hustled to the bank, he learned he bank had discovered the error and scratched off the sum. The money was the property of the motor
Similarly of names has led to many other complications, too. The home of Ford—the clerk—is constantly besieged by foreign women pleading with the supposed auto manufacturer to allow their children to retain the jobs. Almost daily he recalls the jobs asking for charitable gifts.
Recently the clerk received a burial certificate from Connecticut filed in order form, designating his place of burial as "Heil!" and his undertakings to the one Being. It advised him to "stop modelling in other people's business."

"Kansas Collegiate", of 1877. Oldest of K. U. Student Papers Revives History of Early Oread
one other day the small boy rummaging in the debris left by the removal of an old house down on Delaware street, discovered an old paper, greeted with age, when he found it eaten by mice and pacifae. Bringing his discovery to the Kansan office it was found that it was an edition of "The Kansas Collegiate," published on October 23, 1877, "A month's worth of students; all letters to be addressed to the undersigned, Chas S. Gleed, Editor."
The contents and general tone of the "monthly publication" are especially interesting in their comparison with the Daily Kansan of today in relation to the size of the University of that time and the size of the college. In a "plain statement of the condition of the institution," it is said that "the chapel has been transformed from a room of monster size, bare and bleak, to a room of surpassing beauty and paragraphs" Latin poems and "paragraphs on such subjects as the "distinct individuality of every collection," the "literature" are the features of a column headed "Scholastic Fun."
On the front page of the "Kansas College," instead of blazing football headlines and discrete lists of "suspensions" there is a very prim book that offers interesting interests of science and literature and following with a lecture on "The Radiometer." Upon turning to the second page we discover to our horror, (if we have never taken entomology) that it contains the formulas, a paper read before the Kansas Academy of Science, Oct. 12th, 1877 by Prof. H. Snow. "Student Maxims," however, show the general tendencies of young students in a calendar year, "Laugh at professorial jokes, lest we come to grief. Pony, lest cousins
and aunts must plead for thee in June. Keep in the path of rectitude, unless thou canst gain an honor by other ways. Buy not the paper of thy college when thou canst perseize it at the public library, for otherwise it might succeed, and not die, as is the rule of college enterprises."

The pioneer journal of K. U. was "The Kansas Review," devoted to literature and news, with a management and editorial staff composed of representatives from the "Collegiate" and the "Courier," as well as from the "Review" made its appearance. For several years there was strong contention between the "Review" and the "Courier," each fighting for supremacy. Vain attempts at consolidation were made, resulting several times in revised publications such as the "University Courier," the "University Review," and the "Courier." These finally declared between the "Review" and the "Courier" in the decision to publish respectively, monthly and weekly papers.
On October 7, 1892 appeared the first issue of the "Student Journal," introduced with the desire to have a paper representative of the students. A year later both the "Courier" and the University Journal were placed in the clear field for the Kansas University Weekly, which had the hearty support of the faculty and students. This printed twelve volumes and was terminated in 1904. The fall of that year saw the first appearance of the University Daily Kansan, developed into the "University Daily Kansan" now occupying an established place at the University."
