Recently the problems connected with the
operation of tournaments of national scope tor
colleges were considered by the Association. A
National Tournament Committee was formed to
investigate’and has worked with the National
Collegiate Athletic Association in the organiza-
tion and promotion of sectional and _ final
tournaments for N. C. A. A. member schools.

Thus, the National Association of Basket-
ball Coaches of the United States is interested
in every factor which affects the welfare of the
game. It believes that the service it has
rendered in the past has justified its existence,
and is convinced that basketball is a better
game because its teachers are united in a
permanent organization to protect and maintain
its valuable features.
