The cavalry barn will be similarly
constructed and equiped and will

The barracks will be ready for oc-

story structure. The lower floor is
divided into one large lounging room
and ten private rooms for non-com-
missioned officers. The second floor
is one large dormitory for the en-
listed personnel of the unit. A ten
foot screened sleeping poaich at each
end up and downstairs will afford
ample summer sleeping quarters.
The mess hall, when built, will con-
nect with the barracks, by a cqverad
porch way. It will probably be con-

the College mess hall in the mean-
time.

INTERPRETATIONS
IN BASKETBALL
Conference Held in Dailas Results
in Some Elucidation of Rules
of This Game
W. 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.
