At the close of the 1933 convention the Executive Committee
directed the secretary to edit and send to the members a bulletin
during the season which was intended to contain information re-
garding the development of the game in various sections of the
country, to act as a medium for exchange of ideas, and to cover
some phases of coaching methods of value to the profession.

Dr. H. C. Carlson of Pittsburgh University, the secretary
at that time, conducted such an information sheet last year ina
highly commendable manner. The duty now falls to the writer. It
is planned to get out one each month from November to March if the
members will lend sufficient aid.

The 1934 convention was almost swamped with proposals for
rules changes and additions. It was a difficult and confusing
job to select the soundest of these since most of the authors of
proposals had not submitted them to adequate tests. We are all
unwilling to accept without full knowledge of the consequences any
rule change, however favorable, and demand an opportunity to ex-
periment with it.

Much confusion can be eliminated and clearer thinking done
if all of these ideas can be explained and tried between now and
our next convention. Through these bulletins the preliminary
details of the theories and tests can be ironed out if those in-
terested will tell the secretary what they are doing. A few of
the tests are outlined here. Read them carefully, then let us
have what you think of them and include any plans of your own
to help this game.

CONVENTION PLANS

Place — CHICAGO Dates - APRIL 3, 4, and 5,1935
Headquarters - HOTEL SHERRY, 53rd and Lake

While basketball coaches are busy with charts, practice
schedules, and the arrangements for games and other seasonal de-
tails they should place on their calendar the above information.
This grand finale of the season is as important for coaches as any
other feature of their work.

Our president snd his committee already have been busy with
their plans for the best mceting we have ever hed. The hotel was
selected beccuse of its location and the fine rates offered. Rooms
will cost 91.50 and 32.00. This is an apartment hotel so that in
addition to single rooms, there are suites available for groups
which wish to bunk together.
