GAWLEY MADE REFEREE
3T. M. C. A. Physical Director Gets
Official Appointment for Ore
gon, From Committee.
' Few changes of any Importance
Were made this year in the 1921-22
'basketball rules, according to T. H.
Gawley, director of physical educa
tion of the Young Men's Christian
association here, who recently re
ceived his appointment as an official
basketball referee for Oregon from
the Joint basketball committee, the
national governing body of the winter
port. Instructor Gawley, who also
received a copy of the changes in the
rules, declares that in most instances
these were made simply to clarify
some of the present rules.
Section 2, rule 2. which states the
backboards shall be located in a posi
tion, at each end at right angles to
the floor and their centers shall lie
ta the perpendiculars erected at the
points in the court two feet from the
midpoint of the end lines, has been
changed to Indicate that the back
boards shall be parallel to the end
lines, which, makes the rule more
clear.
Rule 5, section 8, regarding sub
stitutions, has been worded torequlre
the substitute to report to the referee
and then to be recognized by him.
This was changed to make the mean
ing of the rule more definite.
Personal Fouls Penalised.
Rale , eection S, which covers the
personal foul penalty, has been
changed to indicate that a player
who makes four personal fouls auto
1 xnatlcally removes himself from the
cro-iie, no rQieroo Biuipi uuvuuuiiib
the fact that he has made four per
sonal fouls.
Rule 6, section 4, Which relates to
unsportsmanlike conduct on the part
of players, has also been made to
cover the same misconduct on the
part of spectators.
Rule 7, section 2, declares only the
backboards are in bounds. All braces,
supports, etc., are to be considered
out-of-bounds, whatever their loca
tion. Section T of the same rule has
also several changes. The following
paragraphs have 'been eliminated
from the rule: "A player who is
standing still when he receives the
ball may stap one foot in any direc
tion in making a pass or in throwing
for goal, and then may Jump from
one or both feet; but the ball must
leave his bands before one or both
leet again touch the floor.
Rnnning Definition Chanced,
"A. player with the ball in bis
possession, who changes position
without appreciably advancing the
ball in any direction shall not be
considered as running with the ball.
"A. player who is standing still
when he receives the ball and who
wish-es to start a dribble may start
a step in any direction, but the ball
must leave his possession before that
foot again touches the floor.'
In place of the above paragraphs
a note baa been added which gives
the player the same privilege in
starting a dribble as be la now
allowed In making a pass or throw
ing for goal. The judgment of the
referee is enlarged so as to include
the player getting rid of the ball, as
well as stopping as soon as possible.
Hand Mast Be en Small of Back.
Rule 8, section 5. Indicates more
clearly that the position of the hand
is to be in contact with the mlddie
of the small of the back when the
ball is being tossed up between two
players,
Section 1 of rule 11. pertaining to
time being taken out, has been elim
inated and a new section substi
tuted, which provides that only the
referee can order time to be taken
out. He orders time to be taken out
for a double foul, for injuries to
players, for substitutions, or upon
request of a captain. If the captain
requests time out. the referee shall
allow it only if his team is in posses
sion of the ball, except in case
injury. A substitution, except for
injury. Is limited to 30 seconds, A
substitution shall be charged again s
the captain if he consumes more than
one minute la, making a substitution
for injury. Not more than two
minutes shall be permitted for any
time out. Time out will be allowed
only three times for each team dur
ing a game.
Rule 12, section 8, defines what Is
meant by the term "under the
N basket," which is any point where
the location of the basket would in
terfere with the ball or Jumpers when
the ball is tossed up by the referee.

The course is within convenient

The course was designed by Will

The yardage for the course is as

experts- term a "sporty" course.
The ZVz miles of fairway are all in

The course is composed of two big
nine-hole loops, which will have
"right-of-way" at all points, crossing
neither each other nor being crossed
by any roadways. Par for the new

BERKELEY, Cal- Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Nine games, four of them with
members of the Pacific coast confer
ence, face Coach Andy Smith and his
Bears at the opening of the 1921 gr'd
season. It Is the most formidable
array or teams tnat California has
sent a varsity team against in history.
The preliminary season of four
games will begin on September 24
when the varsity plays St. Mary's
college of Oakland.' Little opposition
is promised here, even thonigh at this
time CalifoY-nia will have had but
eight days' practice. Following in
rapid succession will be games with
the Olympic club, University of Ne
vada anB the Pacific fleet, which
brings the schedule up to October 22
and the first conference game.
It la then that the real test of the
1921 varsity will come, for on that
date the University of Oregon will
Invade Berkeley. It will be the first
time since the war semester of 1918
that the two teams have met. In
that year Shy Huntington's warriors
fell, after a -muddy battle on Cali
fornia field, by. a score of 6 to 0. and
the memory of this defeat will be
with' the lemon and yellow eleven as
they face the same team on the same
field three years later.
Oregon to Be Watched.
The result of this game with Ore
gon will be watched with particular
interest by grid followers of not only
western but eastern football. For the
last two years these teams have rep
resented the west at the Tournament
of Roses games at Pasadena. To the
east, Oregon and California are the
two best known western - football
elevens. The victor- on October 22
should have a long-lead in the coast
conference race.
A week later the blue and gold
will take their only big trip of the
season when they go to Portland to
play Washington State In their sec
ond conference game.. Last year
Welch's men lost by the overwhel
ing score of 49 to 0. But the opti
mistic Bear supporters will be glad
if California wins this year by a
touchdown. This is perhaps the hard
est game of the season for the Berke
ley eleven.
On November 5 the University of
Southern California will invade
Berkeley for the first time In many
years. In the last year a highly an
tagonistic feeling has grown up be
tween the blue and gold and Trojan
institutions. When California was at
the height of her football fame the
southerners claimed, the champion
ship of the coast and demanded a
post-season game, which California
could not play, due to approaching
final examinations. Southern Califor
nia's refusal to schedule .a game
earlier In the season seemed for
gotten. Trojan Team Intact.
But Coach ''Gloomy Gus" Henderson
has his 1920 team practically intact,
and Andy Smith will hurl his most
formidable lineup agialnst the Tro
jans to wipe out the memory of last
year.
The final games with Washington
and Stanford complete the season.
Both have strong teams and will
make a desperate bid for the confer
ence championship. The game with
Stanford on November 19 will mark
the fifth straight heavy game for the
Bears in five weeks.
Fall practice for the varsity will
begin September 15, according to the
rulings of the conference. Previous
to this, however, an interclass series
will be held. In which no varsity or
numeral man is eligible to play. It
looks now as If the 1921 team will
be practically the same as that of
last year. The loss of Sprott, Majors
and Deeds, all heroes of the Ohio
State game, will be felt, but the re
turn of Schuur and Beam has all but
made up for this loss.

If Sir Thomas Lipton as was re
ported from England really does
challenge for a race for the America's
cup in 1922 there is a good chance
that the challenge will not be ac
cepted by the New York Yacht club.
The fact was apparent today as a
result of a canvass of men interested
in the sailing of big windjammers.
There are many, reasons why Sir
Thomas's challenge would meet with
an unfavorable reception were he to
send one. First of all, conditions in
the financial market are not propi
tious and when this status obtains
members of the New York Yacht
club who are looked upon to finance
the designing and building of one or
more defenders and defraying cost of
upkeep and the like have more Impor
tant use for their time and their
nfjney.
Again, It Is believed that American
sailing men should spend the next
few years in building up the sport
which had never recovered from the
effects of the war. In a year In which
there is a race for the America's cup
general yachting always sags and it
is felt that the sport has already
sagged more than is good for it.
Finally New York Yacht club racing
men feel that more healthful and gen
erally more satisfactory conditions in
volving the America's cup would be
created if Sir Thomas Lipton could
be disillusioned of the idea that he
has a mortgage as challenger for the
trophy.
His persistence is appreciated and
his qualities as a sportsman rec
ognized. Yet, at the same time th.

Grafting tall-end timber to
make a championship team shows
greater hardihood than a man who
grafted a thistle upon a strawberry
plant, expecting to get a new brand
of pineapple.
Whenever Jack Miller tries to re
tire and take up the thread of life
at Kearny, N. J., he gets a fresh call
from Philadelphia to come over and
play somewhere on the infield. It
doesn't matter much to him where
he plays because he has rambled
all over It.
It looks as if the choice for
premier second baseman in the
American league will lie between
Eddie Collins and Harris of Wash
ington, and it is very probable that
there will be more. Still Harris is
younger and more promising.
The best fielding second baseman
In the National league Is young Ford
of Boston. Front, Horace.
Both major leagues are laid under
the base insinuation of running ac
cording to dope. How eise could
they have run than they have. They
didn t need dope. They needed a
stimulant.
More chapters are to be added to
the novelty in managers "who
failed." It's getting to be a life
story with some of them.
Cobb is becoming the oldest ball
player and doesn't know whether to
talk about it w-tb pride or keep si
lent from sorrow.
Some folks say that If Speaker
would play his left hand pitcher
hitting team all of the time he would
win the championship and point to
the fact that it did the best work
for him in the world series last year.
