posed agreement which was agreed to in principle, and it was voted
to present it to the members at the next Convention, subject to such
changes as Professor Badger’s committee see fit to make in the
meantime. Professor St. John, a member of the N.C. A. A. com-
mittee, has submitted the following report of its activities:

“T am returning to you herewith receipted bill for postage used in
_ distributing the National Collegiate Baseball Questionnaire.

It occurs to me that some report on this might well be used by
you for Bulletin purposes. This questionnaire was sent to 501 insti-
tutions. Four hundred and sixteen questionnaires were filled out
and returned. The report (to be presented to the December Con-
vention) will show a summary of the replies received. The printing
and paper used was furnished by our own department. The only
expense we have collected from anybody on this has been this item
for postage.

The National Collegiate Committee met with a committee from
Organized Baseball in what amounted to an all-day session here in
Columbus on June 2. The organized Baseball Committee consists
of three men representing the National Association, which is the
Minor League organization. These three men are G. M. Trautman,
President of the American Association, who is also selected as
Chairman of the Organized Baseball Committee; Earl Mann, Presi-
dent, Atlanta Baseball Club, Atlanta, Georgia; and Elmer Dailey,
President, Mid-Atlantic League, Ebensburg, Pa. ‘The Major
Leagues were represented by two men each from the National
League and the American League. Tom Yawkey, President, Boston
American League, Boston, Mass., and Clark Griffith, President,
Washington American League, Washington, D. C., represented the
American League and for the National League, Robt. Quinn, Presi-
dent, Boston National League, Boston, Mass., and Branch Rickey,
President, St. Louis National League, St. Louis, Mo.”

Contributions of the Colleges to the Olympic Fund

Mr. Frank McCormick, who has been good enough to accept
reappointment as Chairman of the N.C.A.A. Olympic Finance
Committee, reported on his plans in general, stating that he intended
to solicit funds by states rather than by districts, and he requested
suggestions from every source as to good people to place in charge ©
of college soliciting, as well as secondary school, in the several
states. The Executive Committee, expressing its appreciation of
Mr. McCormick’s efforts, voted to inform the colleges that any
financial contributions to the Fund for American Participation in
the 1940 Olympics should be sent direct to Mr. Frank McCormick,
at the University of Minnesota.

The Committee were very happy to have Mr. Avery Brundage,
President of the American Olympic Association, join them at
luncheon, and listened with interest to his informal statement re-
garding present plans and prospects for the 1940 Olympic Games.
