Tho Chairman appointod on the Nominating Committoc, J. W. St. Clair, Chairman,

F, P, Maguire, J. H, Crockor, BE. J, Hickox and H. G. Ojson. The Committee nominated
and recommondod the clection of the same officers as had served during the curront
senson. Those officers wore unanimously clected.

Mr. Tower reported for tho Publicstions Committee and statod that tho 4.5. Barnos
Company had presentod a proposition whereby they might print the basketball guide.
John Lowell Pratt, representing the Barnes Company, was called in to present tho
advantages of such publication. Ho suggested the printing of the rules in a sopar-
ate small folder and, as a substitute for the present almanac section of the guide,
proposed the use of material dealing with the mechanics of play, primrily for the
benefit of those who may not have the advantages of attending coeching schools or
of having trained coaches. If the Barnes Company were to be made the sole pub=
lisher of the guide, they would be willing to guarantee a gross incomo for tho com-
mittoe which would be equal to the present income from royalties and which might

bo greater if the sale of books could bo increased. After discussing tho proposi-
tion, the committee voted that fer the 1939-40 soason tho guide would be published
by the Amorican Sports Publishing Company and that its nature would be similar to
that of the past several years. The Exocutive Committee was instructed to make fur-
ther investigations relative to proposed changes in publication or mothods of in=
croasing the sale of the guides. Tho Bxecutive Committee will report back to tho
ontire committee by mail or at the next annual meeting.

Each of the constituent bodies will be asked to set up machinery whereby an indi-
vidual or small committee will pass upon material which will be used in tho almanac
edition of tho guide and about which there might be somo question. Each such body
will have authority to sanction or disapprove such matorial for its own soction of
the almanac.

The Socrotary and Chairman were instructod to locate the cormittece constitution
which was pr»posod soveral years ago but upon which no official action was taken.
Thoy were authorized to bring such constitution up to date and to submit it to theo
members for final action.

The Secrotary was authorized to arrange with the National Federation to publish tho
special edition of the rules for tho use of summor coaching schools. It was undere
stood that tho customary royalty of four cents per copy would be paid the committoc
on any such rulo soparates which might be sold and on any almanac cdition or rulo
soparates which might be sold by the “merican Sports Publishing Company for any
purpose.

An honorarium of $500.00 to the official interprotor, Oswald Towor, was authorized
and the Treasurer was instructed to pay the McAlpin Employees Fund $10.00.
