Mr. Forrest C. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr Allen:

Now that the basketball season is half over,
I believe it is time for each of us on the Rules
Committee to evaluate the advantages or faults of the
new rules, We should also study the possibility of
changes or additions that might improve our game for
the 1940-41 season,

As chairman of your committee, I am decidedly
in favor of followin; the policy suggested by Mr.
Clair Bee, our chairman last year. That is, to let the
rules alone and try to develop and standardize the
equipment and facilities of our great gane.

You have probably noticed that the members of
the Rules Cormittee were selected with the intention
of having each section or conference of our entire
group well represented, It is with this in mind that
I an writine to you, asking that you take it upon your-
self to ask questions and collect information that
pertains to your particular group or section, You
have only five more weeks to secure this information,

so get busy.

Please forward to me all data collected so I
night have it ready to present to our committee as a
whole at our annual meeting in Kansas City.

In the last Basketball Bulletin, a number of
suggestions were printed that are of grave importance.
Please note them and get the reaction from your section.

With kindest personal regards and best wishes
for your continued success, I an

Sincerely yours, |.
Don S. White, Chairman,
Rules Committee
