It was voted to adopt an official jersey of vertical black and white stripes,
and an official jacket. To hold three demonstration meetings. To publish a list
of officials to be sent to all coaches, schools and clubs in the district.

Six examinations were given with 40 men taking the examinations and 20 the
re-examination. 12 were accepted on the first examination out of the 40 and 9
were accepted out of the 20 on the re-examination. The men presenting themselves
this year appeared to be far above the calibre of those during the past few years.

Membership now the largest in the history of the board with 78 members. Fi-
nances are in excellent shape with a balance of $75.05 in cash and assets of
$210.00 with all bills paid to date.

Three demonstration meetings were held with coaches, players and those in-
terested in the game present. The game was stopped at anytime to interpret why
such a rule was called and to demonstrate various interpretations. These meet-
ing each year have done much toward making a more uniform grade of work through-
out the board.

We held our annual banquet on March 14, and all present enjoyed the evening.
We have made plans to broadcast some college and high school games next
year, and we have also taken moving pictures showing numerous fouls committed, and

the position of officials during the game. We plan to show these at schools and
colleges early next December.
