Dear "Phog": At the recent convention of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, a motion was passed to the effect that the president appoint an Olympic and Tournament Games Committee to handle all association matters in connection with tournaments and the coming Olympic Games. In fulfilling the desires of our organization I have selected the following committee to serve for a period of two years: By G Glisen, ~ Ohio State University, chairman F, C. Allen, University of Kansas John Bunn, Stanford University I feel certain that you will cooperate with the other members of the committee in the development and control of tournaments leading toward the selection of an Olympic Basketball team for 191.0. Mre Olsen, chairman of the Committee, will write you relative to some proposed plans for a 1940-39 National Tournament. Wd bho you s W. S. Chandler, President, N.A.BB.C.

W. St. Joun, Director November 26, 1938 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear “Phog": Thanks for your letter enclosing the placard which advertises the “National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament" at Kansas City. They are evidently making rather elaborate plans. I noted that a number of the members listed on their “Board of Management" are people whose allegiance belongs with us. I have already written to "Dutch" Lonborg suggesting thet he should cut loose from this Kansas City tournament and throw his lot with us and I am writing to President Owens of the N.C, A-A-suggesting that he circularize each member of the N.C.A.A. ime mediately asking for the active support of every member school inthe | \ N.C,AeA. for our basketball tournament. I have no doubt that when it | comes to a final showdown these coaches,who are at present tied up in &® general sort of way with this Kansas City tournament, will see that they belong with us rather then with them. I believe such a letter from President Owens is an important step at this time. As to McBride, I can appreciate that he may have some pretty definite tiewup. I still am in hopes, however, that he can see that the interests of Kansas City might be equally well served, or better served, by getting behind the N.C.A.A. project, especially if the — tournement of the teams West of the Mississippi were to be held in Kansas Citys I very much hope you can get him to see things in that light. It might even be not only that playeoff but the final game for the N.C.A.A, championship, plus the National Association of Basket~ ball Coaches convention might be brought to Kansas City if there were proper support given to our plans. Please see McBride at the earliest possible opportunity and then let me know, because we are holding things up waiting for word from youe If McBride isn't interested and can't be sold on our tourna= ment, I would suggest we think perhaps in terms of Denver as a place for the semiefinal play-off. In any event please get to me just as soon as possible the names of two other men = if you can't get McBride perhaps somebody like "Sec" Taylor from Des Moines would fill the bill from the newspaper standpoint; then perhaps some other man like George Edwards of Missouri would complete your committee. I am sure you see the need for rather quick action on our part and I hope you can get some definite word to me very soon. By the way, as I indicated in another letter to you, we are plenning selection committees in each of the N,C.A.A. districts and in addition to that we are having a general tournament committee on which I want you to serve. This general committee will be composed of John Bunn, F.C.A. #2 November 26, 1938 "June" Salmon, W. S. Chandler, Dr. Forrest C. Allen and myself. I figure that we can get a better administration of the tournament plens with a general, or executive committee, of this size rather than with a larger committee. The general scheme would be that each selection committee would be charged with the selection of the best N.C.A.A. team in that district, but that all the selection committees will be working under the direction and subject to the supervision of our general committee. Does that strike you as proper organization? Kindest regards. Sincerely yours, CG” He Ge Olsen Chairman, N.C.A-Ae Basketball HGO:M Tournament Committee THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Grorce W.

Bunn Dear “Phog" and Johns As you have been informed through Bill Chandler, the committee appointed by him, to cohtact the NeCeAeA. relative to the basketball tournament, consists of you two gentlemen and mye self, In order to get this business started, at Bill's suggestion, I have gone ahead with the presentation of this idea to President Owens of the NeCeAsAe and Dean Nicholson = John Bunn helping with the personal talk with Owens at Stanforde In order that you may know what has transpired, I wanted to give you first a little review so that we know where the situation now standse President Owens in his reply expressed himself as being very much for the ideae I am quoting from Owens? letters “With regard to the basketball situation, John Bunn spoke to me the first part of last week, telling me something of the situation and my reaction was exactly the same as yours, that to keep collegiate competition in the hands of the colleges and whatever money was derived therefrom for collegiate purposes, it seemed to me that we were virtually obligated to step mand take charge, particularly since the matter has come up to us in the way it has. I told Bumn to commumicate with whatever committee the coaches had appointed, and tell them I was certain the NeCeAcAe would be willing to cooperate and organize the basketball tournae ments along lines similar to the tennis set-up, with such modificae tions as those familiar with the situation might find desirablee I asked them to get this in such shape that I could present it to the Executive Committee at its meeting in September, but if more speed than that is necessary I would be willing, with Professor Nicolson, to approve the matter at once and ask for ratification from the Executive Committee or Council by mail if necessarye I feel very strongly that we should act to prevent intereollegiate sports from being exploited for private profit in any directions If there is a& money making angle we should see that money is legitimately applied to proper maintenance of competition, and any surplus devoted to promotion of intercollegiate sports and not to the enrichment of any individuals." Anggso it seems that the NeCeAede are willing to take over and the next move, as I see it, is for us as a committee to definitely recommend to them a proposal for the National Collegiate feta Nanhai Nt ti Ni i Nn a FeCohe up May 4, 1938 JeWeBe : Basketball Tournament set-up for 1939, which, as I understand it, briefly, was that we were to have a representative from each of the NeCeAA. districts, selected either arbitrarily by a selection committee or in some other manners Then the four teams representing the district East of the Mississippi would have a four team tourna= ment and the four districts West of the Mississippi would also hold a four team tournament = the wimer to play a final game for the National Collegiate title. That was the proposal as we have talked about it = John Bunn and some of the rest of them at Chicagoe We thought this was a plan that might possibly get by the objections which some of the conferences, such as the Big Ten, the Big Six, etce, would have to an extended posteseason basketball playe Another matter =— it seems to me that the committee which we should ask the NeCeAsAe to appoint, should have a fairly large membership and my thought was that if our committee of three, plus a representative from each of the eight NeC.A.A. districts were ape pointed that that would be about the right size.

S. LISTON —Acting Executive Secretary — Baldwin, Kans, INCEPTION AND PURPOSE... The National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball had its actual beginning March 15, 1939, in Kansas City, Missouri. It was the unanimous opinion of a group of repre- sentatives from thirty-five different colleges and universities from twenty-one different states that such an organization, with its chief objectives, activities for the best inter- est of intercollegiate basketball was advisable, in fact needed. Plans were immedi- ately set up to perfect such an organization. _ This. action was not taken hastily; practically two years had been devoted to study and informal discussions by groups who met at the time of the National Intercollegiate Tour- nament in Kansas City and elsewhere. While the National Intercollegiate Basketball Championship Tournament was perhaps the chief factor in arousing interest in the for- mation of the Association, tentative plans call for a far greater program. The commit- tee on objectives lists the following: A. Working toward a more uniform players’ eligibility code. - A professional publication devoted to basketball. Schools and clinics to bring about more uniform officiating. More uniform game equipment such as: balls, baskets, and backstops. moo A central office through which aid may be given in arranging intersectional games and trips. THE FIRST CONVENTION »oich bus been termed, Organization Convention, will be held in Kansas City, March 9, 10, 11, 1940. The Association has a democratic foundation. It has adopted as a fundamental mem- bership requirement that a college or university (except colored) must be one of stan- dard rank, having four years academic work fully accredited by standardizing agencies and recognized graduate universities. — —~ The Association is under the control of a Board of Management, made up of the chair- - men of the thirty-two districts. This personnel consists of athletic directors; basketball . coaches; graduate managers, representing state universities; state colleges; normal uni- versities; and privately endowed universities and colleges. No athletic code of eligibility is required for membership; this being left to the gov- erning bodies of athletics within the member college or university. The membership fee is $10.00 a year, payable before December 1, 1939. Members have full privilege of participating in the activities of the Association, as well as entrance in the qualifying tournaments; or in the final Championship Tournament, subject to the plans of the District Committee, without the payment of entry fees. A $25.00 entry fee is required for non-members of the National Association of Inter- collegiate Basketball to enter qualifying tournaments or the Championship Tournament. Non-member entries must meet the academic requirements for membership and be ap- proved by the District Committee. Members are allowed one vote on matters coming before the Organization Convention. More than one delegate (certified) representing each member of ‘the Association, may attend convention meetings. ....
