RADICAL CHANGES IN INDOOR SPORTS
DR. NAISMITH ANNOUNCES ACTION OF COMMITTEE.
Timekeeper and Dribble Come in for a Share—Free Throw Is Defined.
Changes made in the intercollegiate basket-ball rules for 1912, at a meeting of the National Rules committee on basket-ball, held in New York city, last Saturday, were announced today by Dr. Naismith, a member of the committee, who returned last night from New York city. The conference was held at the Hotel Imperial and was attended by delegates from all of the colleges and universities throughout the United States. Many radical changes were made, the most noticeable were those relating to the dribble, abolition of separate timekeepers, and the taking out of time by the opposing teams Following are some of the most important in the rules:
1. The umpire is to be the only time keeper.
2. No substitutes to enter the field of play until recognized by the referee.
3. Dribble ceases when the ball touches both hands at the same time.
4. If no time has been taken out during the first ten minutes of play in either half, the referee calls an intermission of two minutes.
5. A captain can call time only three times in the game.
6. Illegal to stop the motion of a player in any direction who has not the ball.
7. The words "more than momentarily" to be omitted in rule 10.
8. A free throw is to be awarded in addition to disqualification for attempt to interfere with the man who is trying to shoot the ball from under the goal. Also for any foul committed upon a man shooting for goal, if goal is successful one free throw is awarded and if unsuccessful two free throws are awarded.
"The whole tendency of the country is to go toward the open game and it is getting to this point. The game will be cleaner and faster. The Eastern style of playing, that is, playing the man instead of the ball is rapidly losing out. The Western style of playing the ball is a much better game, and besides we play better ball than the Easterners," said Dr. Naismith.
While in the East Dr. Naismith attended a soccer tournament in Philadelphia where twelve teams were entered. The soccer game is becoming very popular in the East and is gaining many adherents.
TO ADVANCE THE STATE.
Real Function of Higher Education is Social.
TOURNAMENT STARTS.
"The real function of education is not to make life easier for the graduate or student but by moral responsibility to better the condition of the country," said Prof. R. A. Schweegler, of the department of education, in his chapel address Tuesday morning.
"The student's view of education," he continued, "is that it is a convenient medium to greater ability. However, the state has scant interest in an individual personally, but only as a member of the body politic. Therefore the state's view of higher education is that it must perform a great civic function, for the educated people are the masters. Moreover, a state must either reepee or advance, and naturally the state chooses to advance by maintaining state institutions."

The first handball tournament ever held at Kansas. University, started Monday with twenty-one entries in the singles and sixteen in the doubles. The tournament will be a round robin affair, and each man plays all the others. This makes each participant in the singles play sixty games, as each contest consists of one set of three games. For this reason the tournament will not be over this week, as expected, but will last for several weeks.

Owing to the difficulty of arranging a schedule each contestant will arrange his own games with each of the other entries. When the contestant has arranged his time he should notify C. B. Root, who has general charge of the tournament. This is so that there will be no conflicts. All the games should be played on the court in the southeast room of the first floor. The contestants will furnish their own balls. The regulation ball is the squash ball and it may be either white or green. The games, as soon as played, should be reported to C. B. Root.
No More Orders Will be Taken After April 7.
TIME LIMIT SET.
Orders for invitations are being taken this week at the cheek stand. Lawrence Brown chairman of the committee, announces that positively no orders will be taken after April 7. Heretofore second orders have been sent in, but that will be impossible this year because of the special rates that are being made. All invitations are being made absolutely at cost. There are two kinds that may be ordered. Leather covers may be had at twenty-five cents each or three dollars a dozen, and paper invitations at seventeen cents each. The contents of both are exactly the same in paper, steel cuts, printing, etc., except the covers. A dummy of each may be seen at the cheek stand, where invitations will be on sale every day after chapel and Friday afternoon.

PRESIDENT MURLIN GOES TO BOSTON
Recipient of New Honor Has Had a Distinguished Career—Once a Minister in Berlin.
HEAD OF BAKER UNIVER
SITY CALLED TO THE EAST
Baldwin, Kan., April 5.—News reached here today that the Rev. Dr. L. H. Murlin, president of Baker University, has been chosen president of Boston University. It is generally understood that Doctor Murlin will accept the call to Boston, and assume his new duties at the end of the present school year. Doctor Murlin is in New York now.
The Rev. Dr. Lemuel H. Murlin, who is to become president of Boston University, has been president of Baker University since 1894. At that time he was only 32 years old and he was pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Vincennes, Ind., at the time he was called to Baker.
In 1909 he was given a year's leave of absence from his duties as president of Baker and went abroad. While there he acted as pastor of the American church in Berlin, a church supported largely by American tourists. It is not a denominational organization, but aims to care for the spiritual needs of American Protestants in Germany. So successful was Doctor Murlin's pastorate of a year in Berlin that he was asked to continue as pastor of the church, but felt at that time that his work was in Kansas.
Doctor Murlin was graduated from Fort Wayne College, Indiana, in 1886, and received a degree of bachelor of arts from DePauw University. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania, Clark University and in Europe later. In 1897 he was given the degree of doctor of divinity by Cornell College at Mount Vernon, Ia., and in 1908 was given the degree of LL. D. by DePauw University.
Boston University was incorporated in 1869. It consists of colleges of liberal arts, theology law, medicine and a post-graduate department. There is also a college of agriculture at Amherst, Mass., which is a part of the University.
A COSTLY ACCIDENT.
Secretary Brown Loses Gun, But Gets Duck.
Edw. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University, and Prof. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology were the victims of an involuntary cold bath at Lake View last Saturday afternoon, when their canoe capsized. Professor Martin had brought down a duck and as the dog jumped to retrieve the bird, the impetus was sufficient to overturn the boat.
The men were barely able to touch bottom and experienced some difficulty in righting the canoe. Mr. Brown lost a shotgun, at 890, but Professor Martin managed to save his. A huge magnet is being made for the purpose of recovering the gun. They got the duck.
