Dear Coach:
Greetings and Good Wishes for the New Year!

Here are the minutes of the meeting of last March,
1943, The substitute secretary craves your indulgence for
late mailing. He has no secretary. He had intended to get
these out early in December to catch the resurgent interest
in basketball.

Note suggestions for experimentation--to which might be
added the net of steel wire put out at $12.00 per pair by
Joseph Bennett of 20 Richards Street, Worcester, Massachusetts.
These are indestructible, look always the same, do not mar.
ball covering, require no care, and are already serving a
fifth season on many courts in this area. |

Both the Coaches' Association and the Rules Committee
feel that this is a good time to try out suggestions
concerning rule changes or material. But please make a
report of all these either to H. W. Read for the Research
Committee or to the acting secretary. Guillion and Lentz
are in service. |

Will you also write in any suggestions you may have
as to what the Association should or may do to further the
usefulness of the organization during the war period. More
than half its membership are in uniform and the remainder
are a part of the service programs in their own schools.

What should the Executive Committee be planning? Send
in any ideas you have or hear about--every one of them,--
so we can be ready for that much discussed “postwar” period.
Write in those comments. |

Best of luck!
