Show 1 DRtBBLING'lGAIE OF BASKETBALL H J New York, Aug. 31. A committer Biji appointed by the Amateur Athletic j Union to confer with tho collego ath H p letic authontles regarding basketball B jjll announced today that for tho -Ural Bjfl time in the history of that game tho Bi Amateur and Collegiate rules this year will be alike. This result was attained through a number of open meetings held during the winter and a mail vote. The principal point of disagreement was the dribble rule. The now uniform uni-form rule now adopted Is In substance as follows: Dribbling will be permitted, and at the end of tho dribble a player will be allowed to throw for goal and If he makes the goal it will count. Heretofore tho amateur ruleB did not permit tho scoring of a goal after a dribble but the Amateur Athletic authorities have conceded this point to the collego men and in the future amateur teams will permit this style of play.
