L. W. St. John #3 March lst, 1938.

no basketball and there is not one team in Canada play-
ing directly under its auspices.

I quite appreciate your remarks that there is
nothing personal in connection with this matter and may
also add that as between Mr. Crocker and myself there is
nothing personal in this letter, but I do say that neither
yourself nor any other members of the Executive have been
informed as to the true Canadian picture otherwise I feel
certain that you would not have reached the conclusion
which is contained in your letter.

I am sending a copy of this letter to every mem-
ber of the Committee and would ask you to take the matter
up again with the members of the Executive and request
that further action be deferred until the meeting of the
Rules Committee is held, At that time the three bodies
concerned, namely, the C.A,B,A,, the A.A.U. of Canada and
the Canadian Intercollegiate Association should be asked
to make a full statement as to the Canadian situation and
the Committee should judge for itself what action should
be taken, :

Unless the C.A.B.A. remains as a member of th®
National Committee it will no longer be a National Basket-
ball Committee of the United States and Canada.

Yours truly,

SR/VCM Samuel Rogers,
