REPORT OF THE BASKETBALL INTERPRETATION

MEETING OF THE MISSOURI VALLEY INTERCOLLEGIATE
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AT THE KANSAS CITY ATHLETIC
CLUB DECEMBER 6, 1929

In executive session the coaches discussed details of
their playing schedules and conduct of the games as well as
covering the rules.

Regarding the playing code as written in the 1929 guide,
the opinion prevailed that the coaches should make no changes; that
the code is satisfactory and has been clearly and exhaustively
stated for almost all conditions. Some interpretation and
amplification of vague points was cond@idered necessary in a few
cases. These interpretations together with suggestions to officials
and coaches follow.
