CHANGE IN CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS

Since the announcement in the November Bulletin it has been
necessary to re-locate the headquarters in Chicago for the 1935 meeting.
The committee has picked the Hotel Sovereign on Chicago's North Side.
This choice offers many increased facilities over the original selection.
The Sovereign is a large hotel with splendid meeting rooms and 4 .
beautiful swimming pool open only to guests. It is only a few steps to
Loyolats big gymnasium where exhibition games and demonstrations will be
held, The management features care of athletic teams being chosen this
year by most of the teams visiting Chicago as well as housing the squads
which compete in the National Catholth High School Tournament. Rates are
very reasonable with $2.00 per person for two in a room, and $1.50 each
for four to a suite. Nick Kerns, Big Ten Official, and promotion man-
ager for the Trustees Managing Service at 316 South Michigan Avenue, has
charge of reservations and convention arrangements.

 

 

OTHER BOOKS BY ASSOCIATION MEMBERS

A partial list of texts on basketball of which members of this
Association are authors was printed in the December Bulletin. Omitted
unintentionally were several valuable works published by the Sayger
Sports Syndicate of Tiffin, Ohio.

"Suz" Sayger, president of the Syndicate is an Association mem-
ber. He is the artist and author of a Sportsmanship booklet which contains
fine illustrations of various fouls, violation, officials signals, and
rules interpretations together with space for line-ups, schedules, and
advertisments. When quantity purchases are made this booklet is so low
in price that many schools are distributing them free to spectators in
attempts to increase game interest and promote better sportsmanship.

"Basketball's Assistant Coach", written by Paul "Tony" Hinkle
of Butler University is a well illustrated new book which offers many
new slants, :

"Basketball" by H.G.Olsen of Ohio State University, former pres-
ident of this Association, shows illustrations of his offense and gives
complete series of plays for three set offenses and one rotating offense.

 

WANTS BASKETBALL MOVIE SHORTS

Adolph Lewandoski, coach at the University of Montana, sends
in the suggestion that some one of the gifted coaches should use his
powers in collaboration with some movie expert to devise some explan-
atory pictures of basketball plays to be shown in motion picture
theaters so that the general public will see more clearly the skills
necessary to good basketball. The work of Grantland Rice is his shorts
on football, diving, and golf illustrate the type of promotion that
Lewandoski would like to see.
