Qfficials, two members.

This cnlarged Joint Basketball Committce met in New York
in April and formulated the present set of baskctball rules.
Only minor chcenges were aporoved and the current sct of baskct-
ball rules scems to have been favorably received.

To facilitate rules legislation with so large a committee,
a Rules Revision Committce consisting of twelve membcrs hes
becn formed. This sub-committce is able to handle in a satis-
factory manner rules revision matters and present them to the
Joint Committee. With the inerease in number and thc consc-
quent inercese in expensc, it is necessary that some inecrcased
revenue be nrovided to carry on the work of the Baskctball
Committcee This problem is receiving consideration and a
later report will be made by the Committec.

It is the belief of your Basketball Committec that
basketball is in a healthy and stable condition. Definite vro-
gross has becn made in improved handling of the game by the
officinlsy Warther effort is being made along this line. Tho
organization of groups of officials for study of the rulcs and
improvement in the administration of the game has been produc-
tive of much go.de

The Netional Association of Basketball Coaches has cx-
pressed canfidencee in the Rules Committee organization and

is a helpful and powerful group in the matter of improvemont
in the basketball gamce
