12-2. Mako the six-foot jump rulo apply to tho cnd lines as woll as tho sidcolines.
Wo heartily ondorse tho following:

1. Wo are convinced that tho rule relative to screening is entiroly satisfactory
as it is and that any trouble with blocking is caused ontiroly by a lack of one
forcement of contact rulcs. We, therefore, rocommend that no change be mado in
the screening rule.

2 That no change bo mado in the three-second rulo.e

We would like to propose that the committco investigate the possibilitios in:

1. Take timo out for jump balls and out of bounds balls and shorten the quarters
to compensate.

“2¢ Cut 10 inches from the bottom of tho backboard and a like amount from the
other bordcrse

3e Since porsonal fouls are now being called for very minor infractions, allow a
player five fouls before disqualifying him.
