REPORT FROM CHARTERED BOARDS OF OFFICIALS
. Dr. John Brown reporting for Mr. Bolstor

1-2. Seoms to be very much divided; in fact on an oven basis, bocause of tho vast
majority of the courts played on thero is not sufficiont area to allow four fect
behind tho backboard, and wore tho baskets to bo cxtondod to a greater distance
than now oxtended on some of these courts, it would cause considerable disad-
Vantage. .

8-1. It is most heartily rocommonded that the college games be played in quarters,
samo as the high school games, and under B of this question it is recommonded that
the intermissions bo two minutos.

8-5. Thore has been some criticism of the speed of tho gamo for the high school
boyse Some people fecl that some revision should be made in either having tho of-
ficial handle the ball after the field goal having bcen scored, or an oxtended
time limit be placed on putting the ball in play from out of bounds on the end
line.

8-5. Tho majority are of the opinion that.the Rules should remain as is, and the
3 restraining cirsles not to be considerede

If tho Rules arc continued on their present basis, with but fow minor changes,

it will materially assist in the further development of basketball from a public
standpoint, from a coaching standpoint, and from officiating standpoint.
