Penalties should be devised, if necessary, for “batting
away" balls which are above the basket height and appear |
certain to enter the basket.

To express approval for a change from four to five as the

number of personal fouls causing removal of a player during
the regular forty minutes of play. (Increased playing time
without center jump and fewer substitutes during war period)

To advocate a move toward decreasing the number of trips
to the foul line. - Possibly by reclassification of some fouls
into violations.

To suggest serious consideration of:
a) 3 second rule (Probably still desirable)
b) 10 second rule (Questionable)
c) Massed zoned defense (Undesirable)

To go on record as:

a) Preferring for the colleges, (believing there is a
distinct movement in that direction) a rectangular
backboard four feet by six of material transparent
except for a white border at least two inches wide.

b) Suggesting the hoop be somewhat heavier and more
nearly rigid than present type allowed. When used

with the transparent backboard, should be painted
orange.

c) Suggesting nets be made of number 120 thread, white
cord, and woven in such hour-glass shape as to check
momentarily the ball on its way through. Length of
the net Medium.
