Rules Committee. In the afternoon Herbert Read presented to the whole
National Rules group his report prepared from his work as Chairman of the
Rules Committee of the National Coaches and as leader of the discussion
during the Conferences. Votes of appreciation were given the two tourna-

to allow them to attend games.

Thanks were voted to Ned Irish and his associates for their hospitality
and their efficiency in helping to make all the meetings successful and the
tournament days in New York a period to be very pleasantly remembered.
Thanks were voted to the Writers’ Association and Mr. Irish for the great
get-together and complimentary dinner Monday.
