Dear Dr. Allens In order that I mey get a more clear understanding of the rule, will you please me a ruling on the following situation: A-1l is dribbling from the back court to the front. The ball bounces in the front court clear of the line, but the player's feet are still in the back court. Player again gives impetus to the bell and it again bounces free of the line in the front court, while at least one foot of the player is on or back of the division line. Is this legal?

Allen, 105 Robinson Gymnasium, University of Kansas. Dear Professor Allen: The committee in charge of the effort to procure the old Woodward property is pleased to announce that a more favorable offer has been received from the present owners, provided the transaction can be closed without delay. To secure title and prepare the building for occupancy will require additional subscriptions amounting to approximately five thousand dollars. A total of $10,787 has been subscribed by 386 persons. This includes $5,000 most generously given by Mr. Robert H. Bradford of ElDorado, Kansas, for restoring and furnishing the building whenever other graduates have purchased the place. The privilege of living in the dormitory will be granted as a scholarship, as is done in Yatkins and Miller halls. It will be worth be- tween $100 and $200 a year. Just think what fifty such scholarships will mean. And that $5,000 will do it. This will go on each and every year. Now figure out what your gift of a hundred, or fifty, or twenty-five, or ten, or five, or even one dollar will do in one or ten or fifty years. Can you beat it as an investment in kindness? A list of all subscribers will be kept in a suitable place in the dormitory. And that beautiful approach to the University, too. That's worth the money itself. You may be more interested in that than in helping boys. While this is an alumni movement there is no reason why other members of the University community should not have some part in it. And no one who contributes will fail to enjoy the satisfaction of being in the number of those who made possible this splendid addition to the campus and such a home for worthy boys. Especially will this be true of the University faculty, whether they are graduates of the University of not. Twenty-five members of that body have already subscribed $466. Do you not wish to have your name added to that list? Enclosed find subscription blank and addressed envelope which can be deposited in the University mail. If desired, a liberal extension of time for payment will be granted, but it is necessary that subscriptions be known now in order to take advantages of the terms that have been offered.

C. January 10, 1940 To the Director in Charge of Professional Education Programs in Health Education, Physical Education, and Recreation Dear Friend: Efforts are being made this year to increase the membership in our national organization by contacting workers in the field, public and educational libraries, and teachers am students in teacher training in- stitutions, This letter is being sent to individuals in approximately four hun- dred institutions in the United States where majors or minors in physical education or health education have been established, In case you are not directly concerned, please hand this letter to the person most likely to give it attention, In some institutions it may be desirable to have @ man contact the men students and a woman contact the women students, The procedure to be followed in each institution can be arranged locally ac- cording to your wishes, We should like to request your cooperation in acquainting your major students, especially juniors and seniors, with the objectives, activities, and publications of their national professional organization, Student membership will serve the double purpose of giving them a great deal of material which can be used in their class work and of making them feel that they are already members of the profession they are about to enter, It may interest you to know that Miss Mary Coleman of North Carolina has sent in memberships for 100% of her senior class; we have received 287 student memberships from the Cortland Normal School in New York; and several other institutions have very good records as far as student memberships are concerned, Picase let me know whether you are willing to undertake this respon- sibility. A sample membership application blank is enclosed, To save time simply type the names and addresses of the students who wish to join, sign your name certifying that they are students, and forward this list with a check for the amount.
