GENERAL BUSINESS SESSION

The meeting was taken over by the Chairman, L. W. St. John,
who introduced the new member representing the A.A.U.: Mr. Charles
Le Ornstein.

Mr. St. John made a statement that Dr. Naismith will hereafter
be in a position to give more time to the work of this Committee
and perhaps appear at some of our meetings.

Dr. Allen, speaking in behalf of Dr. Naismith, told what a
friend he has always been to the game and stated that it was hoped
some of the high school associations would remember him when pro=
viding for speakers. It is hoped that Dr. Naismith will continue
actively from now on, even though he is 75 years of age.

The report of the Treasurer was read by Mr. Metzdorf. (Copy

MOVED by Mr. Salmon:
That the report of the Treasurer, Mr. Metzdorf, be ac-
cepted as read. Seconded and Carried.

Mr. Tower stated that last year, under the Federal Code of
Fair Practice, the publishers of the guide had been required to
permit other sporting goods houses to issue the guide, upon pay~
ment of $300. for the privilege. Draper & Maynard had been granted
that privilege and we were supposed to receive $300. but this
amount was not received to date.

MOVED by Dr. Meanwell:
That the customary honorarium of $500. to the Editor
be awarded this year. Seconded and Carried.

MOVED by Mr. Salmon:
That the usual gratuity of $10.00 be given this year
to the Hotel McAlpin Employees’ Christmas Fund.

MOVED by Dr. Brown:
That the minutes of the previous annual meeting be ap-
proved as distributed to the membership, and without
reading at this time. Seconded and Carried.

Report from Editor Tower:

"Despite the fact that we made very, very few changes in the
rules last year, there was a great increase in the number of ques~
tions asked; probably due, largely, to the increase in the number
of teams. We expect as the number of teams playing the game in-
crease, the number of questions will be increased regardless of how
stabilized the rules become.

"I repeat my annual request that members of the Committee who
wish changes in their addresses as they appear in the rule book,
