Gentlemen:

The report made to the Executive Committee on February 93, 193%
relative to reorganization of the Joint Basketball Rules Committee was
accepted as one of progress and 1 was authorized to proceed further with

organization plans.

Both the Y. BM, U. A. and the A. A. U, have reported that they
are not able to accept eny readjustment in membership except such as may
give them en equality in numbers with the N. U, 4, 4. It is our belief
that the college interest in the game is such that any material reduction
in the §. €, A. A. representation is likely to prove quite msatisfactory
from the college stendpoint. 1+ is our belief, also, that the secondary
school interest should have increased representatives. 1 consider that

a. That the N. ©. A. A. Basketball Committee withdraw from
the present Joint Committee arrangement:

  

b. Thet the 8. G. A. A. committee invite into cooperation

| with itself a committee of four from the National High
School Federation to prepare and publish basketball rules
for the use of schools and colleges; (1 have assurance
asecord with our position in this matter and they they
will cooperate with us fully and cordielly in this way.)

c. That we invite one member of the Canadian Hasketball Associ-
ation to join with us in this new organization;

a. That we invite two members from the Y. M. C. A. and two from
the A. A. U. to join with us in this arrangement; and

ratio basis to defray the expenses of the new organization
for purposes of meetings and publication of the rules.

e. That the royalties from the sale of Guides be used on 4 pro

The ebove proposal is hereby placed before the Executive Vommittee
of the N. ©. A. A. with the request that sn immediate vote be registered with
