WUNEVERS hi vY OF SMESs OU Ra COLUMBIA INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS September 50, 1940 Dr. F. C. Allen, Director of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan. Dear Dr. Allen: Practically all of my extra copies of the constitution of the National Association of Basketball Coaches have been sent to secretary Browne. However, I find that three were left, and am sending you one of these. The historical sketch and summary of work, included in this booklet, represent a personal effort with memory only as the foundation. Several months were spent trying to obtain cooperation of the sec- retary, Nels Norgren, in checking the accuracy of dates and names. When such help was unobtainable it was necessary to go ahead. Consequently, there appears several errors in my report. Inasmuch as Browne has asked to reprint the booklet I would like to make the new edition more accurate. After you have read it I would appreciate corrections and comments. Yours truly, George R./Edwards.
