Remarks by Dr. Naismith from
the floor of the convention.

Dr. Naismith: Mr. President, I have been looking at
the ceme from a great many enzlecs this year. I have seen hich
schools, colletes, independent teams - - a great many different
teams.

It scoms to me there are three rulcs at the present
time that are not being called by the officials which aro
responsible. for a zood deal of the rouzhness that occurs under
the soal.

It has been stated that every man is entitled to his
place on the flocr. When tvo men are running down togather,
end the man dribbling the Lell cuts in across the man who is
running with hin, the call is uniformly on the defensive man,
so far as I have seen, instead of upon the offensive. There is
a rule in the bock which distinctly states the man who is
dribbling is responsi>vle to see that he his room before he
crosses over in front of a playcor who is running. That is one
of the things.

The other is a rule that I have bean told does net
exist in the book, but I find it there. If two men are holding
the ball (a held Sali), and another man comes in and makes
personal contact with the opponent, it is a foul on that man.
We used to call that "threc-in", and a great many people scem
to think that nas gone out. It is still in the rules.

The third one, where I see a great deal of roughness
is in diving for the ball. On the football field, where there
is fine sod and fine crass, we have tried to elininate piling
up on the pleyer who is diving for the ball, but I find that
three, four, and five men can dive one on top of another on a
hardwood floor at the present time and nothing is said about it.
That is one of the things that I think might be modified in the
Thirtecnth Rule at the present time. It was elimineted in
1905, when the college game came in, and that is that the ball
must be handled by the hands only. I sce men dive half way
across the court and grab the ball to themselves in or¢er to
gain possession of the ball.

Those are the three things that it secms to me cause
a sood deal of our trouble at tne present time.

As to the booing proposition, I don't think that can be
regulated by the official. The coach can help do it, the director
of athletics can do it, the cheer leader can do it, but the man who
can do it dest of anydody is the man on whom the fcul has Deen
called, or the captain of the team, If the captain of the tcam
would simply stand up and sny, "Woe are with the referee; we will
take his decision, "Idm!t" think the crowd would have very much
to say. I deprecate booing. I think it is a terriable thing to
try to influence officials that way.
 

Remarks by Dr. Naismith Cont'd

There is one thing that I have often thought of. We have
meetings of this kind for coaches; we have meetings for
officials for the intcrpretation of rules, but we haven't any
way of cducating the public and the spectators. It was
mentioned in one of the reports that that would be a good thing
to do, and I believe it would be one of the very best things
in the world to let the crowd know just what the foul is and
hew it has been committed.

Remarks by Mr. Jack Live -

Mr. Jack Lipe: "Mr. President and Members of the National
Associaticn °f Baskotball Coaches: Approximetecly 650,000
high scho-l boys were playing basketball in 31,0C0 high schocls
in the United States this past scason. Oonclusions drawn from
answers to questionnaires and Ictters sent to this committec
indicate conditions of unrest on threc points concerning the
rules: (1) the three second rule: (2) the ten second center line;
and (5) the concern fer the health of the high school age player
causcd by the new tipless same which demands sreater specd and
skill. Suggest that officials handle the ball after ficld joals.

"Then we learned fron a survey in the state of Illinois
that officiating, a vital factor in came administration, "vas
universally poorer during this past year, due, no doubt, to the
new speed of this yoar's game. Some of the larser schools are
withdraving from tournament play and reducing the number of
scheduled games since the concern for the health of the player
has been so recently emphasized. For those who wish to continue
in tournanont play, larger squads have been requested.

"With respect to membership in the National Association
of Basketball Coaches, this committee believes that the recent
reduction for associate membership will materially aid in bring-
ing into the National Associntion many new nenbers. It has been
sugested that . copy of the Bulletin be sent all high school
coaches to acquaint thon with the fee for one coach, and of the
recent reduction for allicec monbership.
"The Distance Traversed by College
and High School Basketball Players
and Effect of Rule Changes upon
Distance Traversed in Gollege Ganes,

Paul J. Fay
Departnent of Psychology

Lioyd L. Messersnith 3
Department of Physical Education

DePauy University, Greencastle, Indiana.

"In an attempt to determine the effects of the ton second
rule and the rule elininating the center jump, as regards the
distance traveled by college basketball plavers, the following
data wore obtained. This is the continuation of a similar project
reported on in 1931, before the inclusion of the ten second rule
and the rule elininating the center jump after the scoring of field
soalstData are also available on the distance traveled by players
in high school basketball games, but no comparison can be made
relative to the effect of the two rules in question as no study
wags made on high school players before the incorporation of these
changes into the official miles. |

"The measurenent was made possible through the development
of an clectrical pursuit avparatus which provides for numerical
registration of unit distance traveled. The piece

1. Mcssorsmith, L. L. Corey, M.S. Distance Traversed oy a
Basket»all Player, Research Quarterly, American Physical Education
Association, 1931. of apparatus consists of a tin base, on which
is etched a basketball court laid off to scale, wired in serics
with a storase battery, an clectric impulse countor, and a small
brass tracing wheel four inches in diameter. Strips of insulating
tape are placed on the wheel at half-inch intervals so that roll-
ing it alonz the floor mekes and breaks a circuit each half inch.
The impulse counter records these contacts, each one of which,
with the calibration employed, indicates a distance of tio fect
on the playing floor. To determine the number of fect traveled
by a player the experinenter follows the novenents of the player
on the small floor with the tracing wheel. Rolling the wheel from
one ond of the floor to the other produces a total of 47 contacts,
which multiplicd by 2 gives 94 (the length of the college floor
in feet)., so any inaccuracy in the result lies in the inability
of the opcrator to folllw accurately the movements of the player.
When checking hizh school games the small floor is decreased pro-
portionately in size to conform with actual measurements of floors
where players are being observed. All observations were made from
a position above the floor where a clear and unobstructed view of
the playing floor was available at all times. The apparatus used
in the present study is identical with that used in 1931 so that
the relative difference in distance traveled by players in college
eames in the two experiments should be reasonably accurate, even
thouch slight inaccuracies might oe present in recording the
number of feet traversed oy a player in any one game.

"In 1931 it was found that tho distance traveled by college
players ranged from 2.25 miles t7 2.50 miles per game. in the
present study, however, the distance traveled have been consist-
ently longer, ranging from 3.87 to 5.97 miles per game. Complete
records have been kept of several canes out only three representa-
tive games are included in Table I.

Discussion by Mr. Fay Cont'd.

"In Table II the result of three high school games
are listed. While the distance traveled by high school players
is less than that traveled by college players for a complete
game, it is interesting to note that the distance traveled, per
minute of playins time, is about the seme in both games. In
the collese games indicated in Table I, the distance travelcd,
per minute of playing time, for same 1, 2, and 5 is 501.9,
524.4, and 523.4 respectively. In the high school games listed
in Table II the number of fcet traveled, per minute of playing
tine, is 437.8, 560.3, and 472.4 respectively. The gancs
included in these tables are fairly representative of all james
clocked during the season. One would expect a slightly creater
distance for college players due to the fact that the playing
floor is twenty feet longer, which distance must be traversed
each tine the tean chanzes fron offense to defense.

"In the hish school games the ball changed hands, that,
is, passed from offense to defense, and vice versa, with greater
frequency per unit of playing time than in the college games,
Ball chanzes were 60, 63, and 55 respectively in the high school
games, aS against 59, 74, and 62 in the college games. Since
the high school games were eight minutes shorter than the colleze
games, there were more bell changes per minute in the secondary
school games. This may be one explanation for the fact that high
school players appoar to move faster than colloge players.
Frequent boll changes require quick shifts from offense to :
defense, and this adjustment is made with less running Dy hich
school than by college players, because of the shorter floor on
which high school games are played, The center who takes the
ball off both backboards, for example, would travel twenty fect
farther on each ball chanse in a college game. .

"Since a study whe ynade of distances traversed following
the inclusion of the ten second rule, and before the inclusion
of the rule climinatin: the center jump, it is impossible to
state the relative effects of these two rules upon the increase
in distance traversed by players in college basketball games.
Both have undoubtedly been contributing factors, but to sey which
has had the sreater influence would be, in the opinion of: the writ-
ers, a mere “uess. Both studies of college players were made on
players representing the DePauw University basketball team, which
team was under the direction of the same coach during the course
of both studies. In cenernal, changes in style of play which would
affect the distance traveled by a player have been only those
which were necessitated, or made possible, through the application
of the rules under consideration. Studies of high school games were
conducted in the Greencastle High School gymnasium on players re-
presenting the Greencastle High School team and their opponents.

Concluded on next pase.
SUMMARY
"1, Distance traveled by players in college basketball
games are consistently greater than they were in 1931, vefore
the inclusion of the ten second rule and the rule eliminating
the center jump after scoring of field goals.

"2, It is not possible to draw definite conclusions from
this study rezarding the relative cffects of the two rules upon
the increase in distance, as no study was made following the
{inclusion of the ten second rule, and before the inclusion of
the rule climinating the center jump.

"3, Distances traveled by college players were found to
range from 2.25 miles to 2.50 miles in 1931, as against a range
of 3.87 miles to 3.97 niles in the present study.

"4, Distances traveled by high school players were founda to
range from 2.65 miles to 3.20 miles per game."

REPORT OF RESEARCH COMMITTEE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BASKETBALL COACHES
MORRISON HOTEL, CHICAHO, ILLINOIS

Mr, Valentine Lentz - Chairman.

Mr. President, Members of the National Association of
Basketball Coaches and distinguished cuests.

Our President, Mr. George Edvards; our secretary,

Mr. John Bunn and the Chairman of this Research Committee,
acting on the wishes of the last convention, have tried to make
this committee nationally representative and also to have re-
presented on it the two principal participants in our same, the
Colleges and High Schools. With this in mind the following men
were asked to serve, all of whom graciously accepted. Mr. Pierce
works, representing the west coast; Dr. Forrest C. Allen, re-
presenting the Middle West; Mr. H.V.Porter, representing the High
School croup, and your Chairman representing the East Coast.

In making this report I do not speak for the entire committee,
as it has been possible for us to have only one meeting togather,
so I am askins the permission of the chair to allow each member to
have the floor either to add or substract from, the contents of my
findings and to give his, or his section's, opinions in the matters
of importance to this committee and t9 you.

In an effort to find out what the members of this Association
were doing in regard to rescarch, your chairman wrote to many of
the leadinz coaches of the various sections of the country for
contributions. A few were very co-operative. From the replies re-
ceived the following problems seem to heve been given the most
thought during the past season:- |
. The effects of the elimination of the center jump.

. Extension of the playing space under the basket to
four fect,

. The twelve foot basket

Jump balls from the three six foot radius circles

Lack of unifornity in equipment

»« Tem second rule

. three second rule

In this report we shall take each of these problems sep-
arately, and give you our findings and our recommendations.

1. The effect of the elimination of the center jump. Many new
situations have come into basketball with the elimination of the
center jump and many discussions have been held about these sit-
uations. This is always the case when any decided or important
change has been made in the rules. There is no reason why part-
icipants in the game should become alarmed or hysterical about
them. We should be patient, for in due time all these situations
will adjust themselves and the rapidity of that adjustment will
depend largely on how rapidly we coaches adjust ourselves.

Some of the findings developing out of these situations are
listed as follows:-

nO

IO Of Ww
Report of Research committee Cont'd.

A. Favorable.

—

1) Elimination of rough play and injuries occuring at the
center jump.

) Elimination of held balls following the center jump.

) The actual playing time increased from 5 to 6 minutes
or more.

) Fewer fouls :

) More equalization of ball possession.

) A development of a more varied type of offense.

) The use of more varicd type of defensive play.

(
(

IO Oe Gi CO

(a) In some sections it has brought the defense out to
the back court.

(b) In other sections it has brought the zone defense
into more prominence.

(c) In still other sections, it has revolutionized
defensive play, which, in my own opinion, we
coaches have been neglecting.

(a) In still other sections defensive play has been
deempnasized to a point where there really is no
defense.

(8) It has equalized the burden of the players to such an
extent that we can climinate forwards, center and
suards and in their stead have five men who are five
offensive players and five defensive players.

(9) It has taught the players to conserve their energy for
use at the proper time and place.

(10) It has brought back into play more skilled players who
are not excessively tall,

(11) It has proved that the game may be agsressive or passive
on the demands of the coach.

B, Unfavorable.

(1) In some sections it has brought about the race horse
type of game with wild passing and frequent fouling.

(2) It has been said that it has taken away the finish and
polish of the game.

(3) It is too continuous, with not enough pauses, and it is
making our game monotonous.

(4) It takes too much endurance and is erfecting our players!
hearts.

From these comments one can see that those in favor of the
elimination of the conter jump are a vast majority. Yet there is one
comment in the unfavorable group that has receivea national pub-
licity and is a vital one to both us coaches and our players. Tue
comment on fatizue deserves our serious thought and consideration.
Report of Research committee Cont'd.

At the start of this unfavorable criticism of our (revised)
same, I immediately asked several coaches of our larger ins-
titutions, with medical centers attached to have physicians con-
duct tests over the period of the season. To these requests I have
received but one reply, but I believe that both Mr, Lonberg of
Northwestern and Mr. Bunn of Stanford have some interesting in-
formation about this, and I would sugzest that the chair call upon
them for this information at the conclusion of this report.

The report reccived by this committee was from Dr. H.C.Carlson.
It was as follows:- Quote-"Basketball Hearts. The new game of
Basketball has focalized public: attention upon the heart. This is
as it should be. The heart should be checked before such strenuous
demands are made upon it. And it might be added without further
comment herewith that e tuberculin test is also indicated for
varsity dasketball players. Varsity basketiall teams should display
superlative physiques and the dig game is not for defective in-
dividuals. The question arises if the ethlete lives more in a
shorter faster life than if he were to be passive over a longer
number of vears. Does he want to move more or merely vegetate?
Perhaps athletes shorten their lives in yenrs while oak trecs live
hundreds of years.

If an individual is not in ood physical condition he should
not play agressive basketball. There are other media through which
one can become outstanding. Choose a less strenuous field and as-
pire to be king, success clsewhere may be more important than in
basketball. The idea of good condition is to allow for increased
intensity of action, a faster rate of specd, and to carry on for a
sreater len:th of time, A man may push in the ordinary manner a
wheelbarrow of bricks over a distance of 100 yards, dump then,
and return to repeat the »vrocess over and over during a day if he
regulntes the rate of speed, A snrinter cannot run the same LOO
yards at top speed for an eight hour day.

Good physical condition in an athlete seems to be at present
emphasized »y the heart in basketball. Other factors including
muscular, respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems should be
considered but the heart has been singled out. If there is no
disease present the muscles of the heart acquire better condition
througzh work, For greater demands the heart builds up greater re-
serves. The student who plays baskctball goes through the sane class
activities as the student who is not engaged in athletics. The
athlete has built up a reserve upon which he may call. Both require
compensatory periods of reat.

A pointed parallol may be presented by the similar possibi-
lities of physical and financial reserve. Both are nice to have, yot
nerd ‘to build up if dissipated. The well conditioned athlete can
spend and regencrate quickly while a scdentary individual may spend
and get physical embarrasement, The rich man can spend and rocoup
readily while the poor man may svené and set financial anc social
embarrasenent. The poorly conditioned athlete cannot spend ore
than the sedentary stuient. The rich aan eannot honestly spend any
more than the poor man. The finely conditioned atnlete may run
himself into fatigue collepse. The well fixed financial individual
may spend himself into bankruptcy. In either case the developed
ability of each would play an important part in the recovery of
his rescrves.
EL EE IE I ET

 

Report of Research committee Cont'd.

Basketball is played in our district at the time when
physical reverses are at their lowest and there are many indicat-
ions when an individual should rest. The various systems of the
body may indicate rest before the heart shows signs of cracking.
The muscular system may present cramps, weakness, and lack of co-
ordination. The respiratory system may present shortness of breath,
coughs, and colds in general. The nervous system may show irritab-
ility, lack of desire to play, incoordination, usual lack of co-
operation with associates, sleeplessness, conplaints of tiredness
and delusions of persecution. Digestive system may show loss Ot
appetite, vomiting, and other symptoms associated with that system.

The answer includes a physical checkup by a physician, rest,
and reconditioning before a return to the wars.

The elinination of the center jump possibly may have added
physical demands to the four other players other than the center.
He was the individual deserving of sympathy under the old rules.
The added three or four minutes of play is now added to five
players equally and the burden of the center has been erased. The
body will adjust itself more readily to the change than will the
minds of many individuals.

The game has always put stress and strain on the individual
participants, otherwise it would not have been a game. We become
primitive, breath faster, perspire, heart beats faster, the kidneys
throw out albumen, we become fatigued, new heights or depths are
probed, and we find the thrill of victor or the depression of de-
feat. The next day there is a compensating slowness of breathing
and heart rate, the blood pressure is lower, the kidneys are normal
and our mental prospective comes close to our normal. We should be
little better mentally and physically if we were normal to start.
The myth of the athletic heart has been exploded. Time will tell
us probably that we still have the ability to adapt ourselves to
hard mental and@ physical tests.In the meantime let's check for
sound hearts to start and eliminate possibilities of undiscovered
defects. After the start lets look for some of the carly symptoms
that foretell; in due time, a possible breakdown. The game is
worth the time and consideration given to it. The bad will be
eliminated, the good will stay." Unquote. :

The committee is sorry that it hasn't more to report on this
problem but I am certain that both Mr. Lonborg and Mr. Bunn will
add much of interest in their report.

2, Extension of the playing space under the basket to four fect.
The Northern Division Pacific Coast Conference, and I belicve
several other conferences with which your chairman has Deon in
contact, have been experimenting with this contemplated change for
several scasons. The report on this problem received by this
committee is explained in form of a letter from Mr. Jack Friel,
basketball coach at Washington State College. Quote."The Northern
Division Pacific Coast Conference extended the playing space under
the basket to four feet several years ago and I have never heard
anyone at any time make anything but favorable comments to the
change. Every coach in our division favors the added room and I
am sure that it will never be changed here.

 
Report of the Research committec Cont'd.

The bigzest advantage that I find in the change which we
were allowed to make is that it aids a fast break, as the dack-
bonrd men can set the ball out with more freedom. It also eli-
minates excess wWistle blowing where »beys recover the ball off
the backboard, and step on the line. I feel sure that this chanze
4s desirable if it is found that it is possible in most geymnasiuns. "
Unquote.

In five games played in conference competition the avorace
throw-ins resulting from end line out of bounds other than from
after coals or free throws was 10, and five practice games played
under the additional two foot extension found the out of »ounds
other than from after field soals or free throws averaging 6 plus.
Jump balls were reduced from 27 to 14. This experiment proved that
the end line out of bounds were decreased some SO odd percent and
the jump balls nearly 50 percent.

3, The twolve foot basket. There has been much talk on the
twelve foot voasket in previous years but it has seemed to peter out.
Yet there is still the cry about the "Giants". Has the imaginary
cylinder above the basket solved the problem? Yes, in some respects
>ut not entirely. Some coaches are still erying about the big men
under the basket. The solution can be found by having some con~
ference give this long recommended and debated change a trial.

Many of our other prodlems fave boen clenrificd in our research
Laboratorics, why not this one?

4. Junp bells from the three 6 foot radius circles. The
Wissouri Valley Intercollegiate Conference has een our research
laboratory in this proposed change and I belicve Dr. Allen will
include the findinzss of that conference on this suggested change
in his report, so I will pass on to pro»Dlem-

5. Leck of unifornity in our equipment. There is no game in
our sports! curriculum that places visiting teams under nore
severe handicaps than the zame of basketball. This is particularly
so where teans are not playing conference schedules, or where
Conference teans are playing part of their schedules outside of
their own group.

First they have the size of the v-rious playing courts to
contend with. The committee realizes that it is well-nigh im-
possible for our Rules body to legislate in this case but they cen
be more emphatic in thicr recommendations in an effort to remedy
this handicap.

Secondly, they have one of three types of backboards, Glass
Steel and wood, to adjust themselves too. This handcep can be remed-
ied by our Rules body by selecting the one most desirable and for-
bidding the use of the others.
They have two or should I have seid six, entirely different
balls to adjust themselves to. The laeceless ball with seams with
either rubbor or metal valves, the ball with seams and lace with
either rubber or metal valves, and the seamless »all either plain
or with grooves. Each of these balls has a different pressure,
entirely different foel.different bouncing qualities and entirely
different throwing advantages and disadvantages Here again our
Rules body sheuld decide which of the balls is >est and legislate
in its favor. This cammittee feols that we should have cne Dall
and that it is the duty of this convention to rdcommend such a Dall.

I believe tur. H. V. Porter of this committee has done quite
a bit exqerimenting along this line and will go more into detail
as to the committee's finding when he makes his report.

Lastly, the visiting tcams meet three entirely “ifferent
kinds of beskets; one, as prescribed in Rule 3, Section 1 & 2,
another as prescribed in this rule but with leather, cloth or
rubber padding around the ring and lastly, the newer Bask-o-lite
Dbeskets. All three types of baskets named have different reactions
to the ball, making it necessary for teams playing schedules as
previously described cither to place the three different baskets
in their own cquipment or try to adjust themselves as to their
shooting and revound at game time.

My own team played one game this senson where the Bask-o-lite
baskets were used. We did not score a field goal in the first haif
and had taken 32 shots the score at the end of the first helf enc-
ing 17 to 2 against us. The final score of this same was 55-22.

It had taken us 20 minutes to adjust ourselves to both our shooting
and rebound play.

Since playing Villanova I have been in touch with Mr.
Severence, the coach, and here are his own reactions as to the
baskets. Quote "Regardinf the Bask-o-lite »eskets. -well, my boys
cuss them everytime they let one go and it does not hit true for
it requires a well-timed followup to get anywhere. In all serious-
ness, " Dutch", the fans here go for them pretty well. liy boys do
not like them becauso they require a dead center shot to make the
goal. They give you very little breaks. I also find that they have.
been more severe on my equipment, Namely, balls but that could be
remedied by a coverinys of rubber over the crtch that the ball hits.

They are a saving from the view points of nets, etc. We
use both for practice having only run into them about five times,

I believe they do add a little color to the geme from the spec-
tators! viewpoint." Ungquote.

The type of basket as prescrived by Rule 3, Section 1 & 2,
but with leather, cloth or rubber covered ring acts exactly
opposite from the Bask-o-lite type. This basket deadens the shock
and nearly all the re>dounds are within a four foot radius uncer
the basket, thus giving the team with the exceptionally tall men
an adventage and tending to create more than the usual amount of
rough play uncer the »asket, and also increasing the number of
jump balls and out of bounds plays at the end line

This committce again recommends one type of basket. Here
again lct us select the type approved by the majority, recommend
our choice to our Rules body and reauest them to legislate
acainst all others. Let us keep in mind that this frame belongs to
the individual playing it and not to coaches or to the manufact-
urers of athletic cquinment.
6. Ten second rule and 7. three second rule. Only in the game
of basketball Go We require the offensive team to cone to the de-
fonsive tean, and then after they do so, limit them to only a por-
tion of one half the entire playing space in which to maneuver.

Wo have alweys gone on recorc as an Association in placing the re-
sponsibility for whatever stalling we heve hed in the nast on the
defensive team ané then, gentlemen, we recommend legislation, omnm-
itting that we have falsely accused the defense. Why hendicap °n
offense with only a portion of one-half the court to play in while
wo rllow the defense the whole court? Is that consistent with our
ethics of fair play? Should we handicap gither one of the two in-
portant phases of our game? I say, No. We are sradually teking all
the clever team play, in both offenge and defense, away for our
ceme and placing more and more stress on individuality.

In the Metropolitan area this past season severnl games were
played with the ten second rule out, until the last five minutes
on the, and it proved a very successful cxperiment. If we are a-
froid to gamble, let us say, with a change, lect us at least exper-
iment further.

Let us return acain to stalling. What brought Stallins?
Tight defenses thrown around the basket and staying there, Part-
icularly the types bordering on the zone. In Atlanta a few yosrs
ago we spent hours trying to find some sort of lerislation to
curtail zone defenses without definitely coming out and stating
that all types of zone defenses were prohibited. £t thrt time we
wercnearly unanimously ageinst this type of defense. Yot, we turn
around the next year and recommend the passing of Rule 8, Section
8 (ten second rulc)and further aid the zone defense. Then to acd f
further insult to injury, we recommend the three second rule, only
to have the Rules body aid more by meking it with or without the
ball. Are we consistent in our policics or are we playing this
international game or ours for our own adventages, depending on
what kind of material we have on hand for the next season, or for
what our spectators want? It is about time we recommend some lez-
islation for the game's sake. Open the court to both elements, put
the ten second rule in for only the last five minutes of the game,
if you so desire, and earnestly recommend that at least the 6 foot
circle at the foul linc be open to men without the ball and three
seconds with the ball.

In conclusion, gentlemen, I want to thank you for the priv-
ilege of being the chairman of your Research Committee and to thank
those serving with me for their splendid cooperation.
