conclude that based upon one year’s experiment the qualifying

tournament is necessarily a permanent failure.

This whole matter as explained heretofore is quite complex, and
it is the recommendation of the chairman that the N.C. A.A.
appoint a small committee, not to exceed three, to confer with a
similar committee to be appointed by the U.S. L. T.A., to discuss
the various factors and to determine what changes, if any, should
be made. ‘These changes should be made prior to October 15th so
that whatever plan is to be followed for 1939 it can be made effec-
tive prior to November Ist, in order that in turn colleges can
arrange their 1939 schedules with all the facts in hand.
