test under games conditions. Today they are generally regarded
as authoritative texts for the study and practice of officiating
wherever football and basketball are played.

This whole system provides for efficiency, giving the official
ample protection and, in the final analysis, the coaches will
still select the officials they desire from approved lits.

Personally, I h ve been making the assignments forour confer-
ence over a period of fourteen years, «nd believe this proposal
contains a grest deal of merit.

The proposed system could be put into effect beginning with the
basketball season, having the officials meet at some central
point for an examination which is covered in the regulations,
and too, the officials would be grsded all through the season,
which would set up a resting for them after the sexson, and these
ratings in turn would establish the master eligible list.

The same hold¥s good for football officials in September of 1939,
at which time they would be recuired to take the necessary
examination and then be graded through the 1939 season, setting
up a rating for 1940, under the regulations.

With kind personal regards,
