Several requests for permission to reprint the basketball rules were read and the
matter was thoroughly discussed. It was voted that in view of the fact that the
only source of income to enable the committee to finance its work is the slight
royalty on the sale of the guide, it would not be wise to permit reprinting of the
rules except on payment of the usual four cente royalty. It is understood that
any application for permission to reprint the guides on these terms must be

acted upon by the Executive Committee and that publication must be in conformity
with conditions formulated by that committee.

The meeting adjourned at 11:30 P.M.
