RuLes — Mr. Reap:

Big question is that high school coaches feel they are the dominant group
due to numbers; they do not recognize experience of college coaches as
they should. All petty, personal views or feelings should be kept out.
Shall we change the rule is the first thing to settle, on each rule brought
up. Then we'll discuss ways and means of changing.

Only paid-up members are to vote.

c. On 4th personal — one extra shot and ball out of bounds — retire
on 5th.
Three voted yes.
‘The discussion is between a and 6.

Vote on & first. Man stays out if he goes out in last three minutes.
Vote on b: Yes, 7.

Edmundson says personal fouls in number have increased a lot;
the number has levelled off somewhat during the last few years.

We would not be eliminating roughness by putting in greener
players, etc.

Vote on a: Yes, 29.

Do you believe we should adopt some rule regarding goal tending?
Discussion :

Henry Iga: Plea for the big boy. 14 to 16 shots a game are
short — would make jumping impossible — for big man, etc.

Nat HoitmMan: Something should be done — is hurting the game.
Bruce Drake: Plea to make the change.
Howarp A. Hosson: The rebound angle.
