Kesolotlon raised Asking Colleges to Play as legislated and Test Game Next Season. NEW YORK. April JO. (Special) College basketball will differ next year from the game as played In the season recently ended. The college basketball rules committee, analysing complaints received against the rules, find that In the main they were from colleges which did not play the rulea as legislated, and the tenor at a recent conference was, "Give the rules a chance." A conrplcuoua offender In this re spect was the Intercollegiate League, s was freely admitted by the Eastern members, and as a result the rules committee passed a resolution request ing that the Intercollegiate League play the rules as legislated without exceptions thereto In future. Such changes as were made In the rules were constructive and tended toward faster playing, less roughness and a better game from the viewpoint of the spectator. A change which tends toward faster play was that which gives the player but IS seconds for a free try for the basket after the referee has placed the ball on the foul mark. This will elimi nate much killing of time by tlie team In the lead and the ronsequent slowing of the game from the spectator's point of view. The two-minute period In the middle of the first half and in the middle of the second half was abolishe-l. The out of bounds rule was cleared up la the case of several exceptions to the general rule, and the fundamental of the opt of bounds rule In the college game was defined, the ball going to the nearest eligible player. The . rules regarding holding and blocking were cleared to some extent, and the committee Is laying plana to Instruct officials to tighten up on hold ing and blocking rnlea. and thus make the game more of an offensive than a defensive one. It was the opinion of the committee that the dribble la too good a play to lose, but that the legitimate place for the dribble la where a man has a short distance to go. Under the present rul ing it Is possible for a player to drib ble a few feet to get an advantageous shot or pass, and therefore this rule remains the same as last year.

The most striking model Is a 40 horsepower touring car In a handsome shade of gray. The other model received Is a classy looking four-passenger SO horsepower touring ear, which the company Is showing at its salesroom In both gray and wine-colored bodies. . New Design Helps Driver. One troublesome problem of design forced upon motor car makers by the adoption of fore-door bodies, with the drive Inside, was to supply plenty of room for the operation of the various levers and to relieve the driver of the discomfort of a cramped position. No where has this difficulty been over come more completely than In the 1911 cars of the Peerless Motor Car Com pany. All the superstructures have been exceptionally wide from the dash through to the rear of the car.- They extond over the chassis frame fully six Inches on either side. OLYMPIC GAMES COSTLY TICKETS FOR TWO WEEKS' AD MISSION TO STADIUM 951. Hotel Accommodations Also Expect ed 'to Go Skyward When Crowd of Visitors Arrives. NEW YORK. April 20. American vls ltora to Stockholm who Intend to wit ness the Olympic games had better be provided with a stout wad. for If the preparations give the least elgn of what Is going to happen during the two weeks at the stadium the neces saries of life. and other unavoidable ao. commodatlons will fetch a handsome figure. To begin, with admission tick ets for the two weeks will cost M, or about 200 kroner In Swedish money, that la, should the tourist want to be seated In any sort of a decent section. There will be slightly cheaper seats, but then the sightseer will have to be contented with a chair near the en trance or away on the top row. Had the Stockholm stadium a pitch to it like the one at Athena a spectator would be not so badly off up high, but the Swedish structure la only about half as high, consequently the back seat occupants will have to take their chances on a partial glimpse, of the arena. This expenditure of $54 covers only the events to be held in the sta dium, that is, all the athletic contests and. the Marathon race, which will be held around Lake Malar. Should any body care to see such sports as rowing, football, fencing, swimming and the equine competitions, extra admissions will be necessary for these events.

Another important point to be con sidered by the Intending tourlse is the hotel ' accommodation, and to Judge from Inquiries that have been made, from New York recently all the big ho tels have been pretty well booked even now, and It Is about three months ahead of the opening of the games. " Residents of the town, knowing that hotels will not be able to hold the vis itors, have formed a boarding house trust with headquarters where applica tions may be made for rooms. Even though these rooms may be in private houses and other places, they will not be occupied at cheap rates, a fact which Is forcibly Illustrated by a story told by a man who has often visited Stock holm and who has laid plans to be there during the games. On his previous visits he always stayed In a private hoarding house near the Pension at Jronbanegatln, the cost of his room be ing three kroner a day without meals. In order to be early in the field, as he thought, the prospective tourist wrote to know If he could have the same room during the first three weeks of July. He received answer that he could, but that the tariff would be 18 kroner a day. This was before there was any talk of the boarding house trust and the man engaged the room sooner than run the chance of being left out. In the street.

Xtw Safety Device Is Out. Safety in some models for 191S, which are being announced. Is greatly In creased by the Irreversible steering gear.

This means that no matter what the speed of the car. no road obstacle can deflect it from its course.
