A few; of the important changes involving bas ketball rules for boys are listed below' with some comment by an official who will call a lot of con tests in Eastern Carolina this sea son. Rule 2, Section 9 (b): When a team is entitled to a throw-in. If the throw-in is fro.n the throwing team's front court and including out of bounds at mid court, the official shall hand (not toss) the ball to the thrower. Rule 3, Section 3. The manner in which a substitu tion may be made has undergone an important change so that a sub stitution may not be made for the purpose of stopping the clock. The sequential steps may be summar ized as follow's: 1. The substitute shall first re port to the scorer, and be ready to enter the game. 2. The scorer's horn shall be sounded only after an official has signaled a time-out. 3. The substitute shall remain outside the boundary until an of ficial beckons him in. 4. The substitute may be beck oned in by the official only when the clock is stopped for some pur pose other than the substitution. Note: The scorers should be warn ed that (1) The ball must be dead, and (2) Time shall have been de clared out before they are pei mitted to signal a substitution. In other words, a substitute may enter only when the ball is dead and the clock is stopped. Such as. when a foul is called, when a team ! takes time out, when an official declares a time-out for any reason,1 or when a jump bull is declared. I Rule 5, Section H. Time-out occurs and the game watch shall be stopped when an official signals: (a) foul; (b) jump ball; (e) unusual delay in'getting a dead ball into play; (d) grant ing of a players' request for time out; (e) si,.'•pension of play for an injury, ->.• f,,:- removal of a player; or a conference with other offic ials'. Perhaps the most important change in the rules appears under (b) of this reference. It provides for stopping the clock each time the official signals a jump ball throughout the game. But it also provides for uniform timing from the beginning to the end of the game. This change eliminates the three (3) minutes in the fourth quarter and a young football game. It should be emphasized, however, that the clock will be stopped on every jump ball dur. ing all four quarters of the game. Rule 6, Section 1. When does the ball become alive? The ball becomes alive when it leaves the official’s hand on a toss for a jump, or When a throw-in touches a player who is inbounds or when it is placed at the disposal of a free thrower. Rule 6, Section 7. When does the bail become dead? a. Any goal is made when a livi ball enters the basket from above. b. It is apparent that the ball will not go in the basket; on a free throw for a technical foul, or tor a double foul or a free throw throw which is to be followed by another throw. e. Wild ball occurs. d. Official’s whistle is blown. e. Time expires. f. A foul occurs. g. Any floor violation. Austin^Nichols CLUB RESERVE BLENDED ^ WHISKEY i v tn tel taM Mite.
