The headquarters are close to the University of Chicago
where demonstration games like those which proved so valuable lcst
spring arc to be conducted. It is planned to have at least four
strong teams on hcand to show their style of play and to work with
the proposed changes.

As the program details develop they will be included in
future bullctins. The important thing now is for cach coach to in-
clude in his schedulc the date and place of this convention, and
to leave no stone unturned in arranging for his own attendancc.

EDITOR'S NOTE - Many of the proposals for changes in
the rules submitted at the Atlanta convention seemed to offer some
merit, but since most of them had not been tried under game con-
ditions, they cither were voted down or sent to the Research
Committee. In order to obtain accurate information as to the v”
effects of proposed changes severel coaches are carrying on cxtecn-
sive expcriments. Below are described a few of then.

KANSAS -— KANSAS STATE TEST GAMES

For several years it has been the practice of the University
of Kansas and the Kanscs State College to play an exchange of
games before the Chrisim.s vacation. Since these contests do not
count in the conference standing of the two teams, they lend them-
sclvés recdily to cxperimentcl tests for rule changes, Dre Fs C.

have agrecd on the test of a scrics of proposed changes to be tried
in these two games. Definite dates have not yet been sct. They
will be given in the next bulletin.

Detailed announcements of the changes are to be sent toa
large group of officials and coachcs in the Missouri Valley section
and many are expected to attend to witness the tricls as well as to
sit in on the discussion which will follow. Spectators will be
handed questionnaires so thet opinions may be registered. Studcnts
who are majoring in coaching courscs will take complcte charts
of the games. The results of all of these will be reported in the
January bulletin.

boards shall be placed SIX FEET from the endlines.
