L. Driver, Athletic Director, returned Sunday from Dallas where he attended a basketball conference of thirty basketball klahoma, Arkansas and Texas. The conference was held for the purpose of making a uniform in- terpretation of the rules and to line up the basketball officials for all the games in these three states. This meeting was provided for when the President of the Southwest Conference at the annual meeting of that conference on September 6, appointed the committee of W. L. Driver, of A. and M., chairman; IL. T. Bellmont, University of Texas, and P. H. Arbuckle of Rice Institute, to select a place of meeting. They selected Dallas. Two interpretations of significance voted by the conference were as follows: around a man whether he held his hands on the ball or not will be con- sidered a foul; and 2nd, that for the benefit of road teams it was decided where a team was reduced to four players because of personal fouls or injuries the game should continue to a decision. It was the concensus of opinion ex- pressed at the conference that the present price being paid to basket- ball officials was too low, that the basketball referee holds a more im- portant position, by reason of his be- ing one man in six than the referee in any other game, and that higher prices should be awarded for this place to encourage good men into it.
