THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS. SATURDAY. FP1BRUARY 4. 1911. f LOCALS LOSE TO MUSCATINE FIVE Speedy Iowans Roll Up Score of 72 While Eock Island Is Making 16. TTHROW BASKETS AT WILL One of Prettiest Games Kver Witn-i-ed on Floor Here Visitor Cheered by Spectators. Throwing baskets at will from all corners of the floor at Rock Island high school gymnasium last night, the Muscatine five took the locals off their feet and defeated them by a score of 72 to 16. The visitors pi:t up an ar ticle of basketball that was at least the pquaJ of anything ever seen on the local floor, and won an easy victory In a pretty game. Their long shots from the far end of the floor were eas ily the best ever seen here, as they dropped in baskets consistently that would raise a cry of horseshoe here. The locals got the first basket when Taylor outjumped Norman Elliot, the Muscatine star, and sent the ball to Behnamann, who made a neat Held liasket. The locals were soon left be hind, however, in the rush that fol lowed. Norman Elliot, the star center, rolled in five field baskets and four three throws during the half, while Bloome and J. Elliot, the guards, each made four field baskets before the fin al whistle for the half was founded. Most of these shots by the guards were made when they were more than half tho floor's distance from the basket, and received much applause from the epectators. The locals' count in the first half was made up by two field baskets by Barker and one field and four' foul baskets by Behnamann.

FEW CHANGES IN FOOTBALL RULES Committee Cuts Down Intermissions From 3 to 2 Minutes and Docs Little Klse. New York. Feb. 4. The intercol legiate football rules committee did a little more surgery work on the game at a meeting in New York yes terday. It reduced the intermissions1 between the first and second and the ' (htrrl 1 n rtlirth fl 1 1 !1 r f o re fmm I three minutes to two minutes. Another new rule provides that throwing a player to the ground after the referee has declared the ball dead may be considered unnecessary roughness. An amendment was j adopted allowing only three men in-i stead of five to walk up and down the field on each side of the line. i If the ball accidentally strikes an j official, provides another amendment , it shall not become dead, but play shall continue. j A new rule aaoptea specines that all penalties under the rule regulat ing the forward pass shall be applied from the spot of the down and not on the spot from which the pass was made. In rule 18, section 2, which pro vides that a player in catching a for ward pass shall not be tackled or shouldered until he has caught the ball, and "taken more than one step in any direction," the words "taken more than one step in any direction" were stricken out.
