Dr. Walter E. Meanwell -

We like the official to be business-like, to understand the date
of his appointment, sending a letter to confirm same, presenting expense
account in a business-like manner, and to arrive on time.

The official should look the part on the floor; a good physical
condition and appearance go a long way to sell the official to the audi-
ence.

It is important to secure the good-will of the audience. Convey
to them that you are honest, human and not taking the game too serious-
ly. Assume a happy manner with good-will to both players and spectators.

Personal interpretation is important. Develop personal relations
with the coaches and players.

It is important for young officials to give no decisions of which
they are not positive. Snap judgment is very bad for the game. The of-
ficial should call only what he actually sees. Making a decision re-
garding a play in a far corner with intervening players on snap judgment
is poor officiating. If you cannot actually see the play, let it go.

No more whistle blowing than is absolutely necessary.

From the standpoint of the coach - Have the official know very defi-
nitely that the rules permit a man to gain and then retain any position
on the floor.

Any time a player comes in contact with an opponent who has assumed
a position on the floor, the offensive player must deviate to avoid con-
tact at such an angle that the guarding man if he stands still will not
be hit.

The young official should be coached as to the danger of allowing
traveling to get the better of him. Administer the traveling rule as
the rule indicates.

Professor H. W. Clark -

The relations between the coach and the official should be that of
two friends interested in the same activity. Uniform interpretation of
the rules is very important.

The Chairman expressed appreciation to those present and to the of-
ficers of the various boards for their active cooperation during the

The Conference recommended that a note be addressed to Mr. Dan B.
Dougherty of Pittsburgh and Mr. H. G. Reynolds of Chicago, Ill., extend-

ing its greetings, and stating that they were missed this year.
