their delegates to attend a reorganization meeting called by Mr.
St. John for April 4th, 1936, To this meeting all of the various
groups were invited with the understanding that if they chose, the
representation would be in the same pra3portion which had existed
during 1935. The A.A.U. and Y.M.C.A. groups did not choose to be-
come affiliated with the other groups on that basis, As a result
the committee organized with the understanding that it would re-
present the National Collegiate Athletic Association with eight re-
presentatives in addition to Chairman St. John and Hditor Oswald
Tower, the National Federation with four representatives, the
Canadian Amateur Basketball Association with one representative
and the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union with one representa-
tive,

The chairman then called for suggestions relative to the name of the
reorganized committee. It was moved by Barber, seconded by
Swaffield and unanimously carried that the name "National Basket-
ball Committee of the United States and Canada" be adopted and that
the notation be carried that this committee represents the four or-
ganizations mentioned above,

The committee then proceeded to a discussion of the adoption of a
constitution to serve as a guide for the various activities of the
committee. It was moved by Tower, seconded by St. Clair and unani-
mously carried that a small constitutional committee be appointed to
remodel the previously adopted constitution and to bring it up to
date and that the constitution as redrafted by the committee be sub-
mitted to the secretary for distribution to all members of the com-
mittee, this redrafted form to be considered in effect wntil such
time as the committee meets again to formally vote upon its rati-
fication,

The committee then proceeded to a discussion of matters pertaining
to the printing and distribution of the guide. It was made clear by
the chairman that under the new articles of agreement relative to
reorganization that the National Federation or any other constituent
group would have the right to print and distribute the rules as made
by the joint committee in any manner which might best fit the type
of organization of that particular group. It was further made clear
that if this right were exercised by any one of the groups that that
group would then take care of the expenses of its own representa-
tives to the National Rules meeting. It was moved by Rowe, seconded
by Barber and unanimously carried that this type of organization be
approved. 3

There was a short discussion of matters pertaining to the proper
time of distribution and the sentiment was expressed that distri-
bution should be made as early as possible without interfering too
greatly with a widespread sale of the guide. It was further under-
stood that the time of distribution of the separates to be published
by any one of the constituent organizations would be determined by
the machinery of distribution in that organization. It was recom-
mended that the time of distribution should not be later than the
first part of October.
