the necessity of a readjustment of all memberships on this Committee. BASKET BALL
i wovld not see sufficient reason for modifying the A.A.U. membership COMMITTEE

"It has seemed desirable to the N.C.A.A. Executive Committee
that some reorganization in representation be made that will be more
satisfactory to the A.A.U., and, therefore, having consulted with Mr.
Brundage, President of the A.A.U., and consulting further with the
N.C.A.A. a proposed revision is placed before yous I feel that the
N.C.A.A. Executive Committee will, at the proper time, fully confirm
and approve such a revision, and for each of you there should follow
an acceptance or the rejection of the proposed representation. This
proposed representation would give to:

N.C.AA. 3 members
National High School Federation >
Amateur Athletic Union >
Y.M.C.A. —
Canada en
Samuel Rogers, rep. A.A.U.
J. H. Crocker, rep. I.C.A.A. ons

Oswald Tower, Editor a,
TOTAL 15

This joint Basketball Committee has attempted to protect the copyright,
and restrict the use of the rules to the end of increasing the sale of
guides, but without a great deal of success. :

"As a part of this reorganization program, I am proposing that PUBLICATION
each and every one of the constituent organizations be permitted to OF RULES
make such use of these rules, in the way of publication, as they may
desire, eeg. ~ if desired, the High School Federation may use the
rules in the publication of a high school Federation guide, or permit
their handbooks to include the published rules with such restrictions
as the constituent organizations may wish to put on.

"There is no disposition on the part of the N.C.A.A. to turn the
cold shoulder on other organizations and I believe they are perfectly
willing to continue the publication of a completely joint guide includ-
ing such reports as have been included in the past for the high school,
A.A.U., YeoMeC.A. and Canadian representatives, and have this guide dis-
