Further Study Authorized

 

The Committee authorized further study in cennecticn with several proposals which
seemed to meet with the unofficial approval of the Comnittee.

1. The QUESTIONNAIRE COMMITTEE is t. further study the matter of allowing a sub-
stitution any time the ball is dead. A test vote (unofficial) indicated almost
unanimous approval of ultimete adoption cf this proposal.

Further study is also to be made of the proper bouncing reaction of a ball.

‘. The GAMES ADMINISTRATION COMMITT®E is to further study the possibility of using
a checker with one scorer and one timer. This Committee was also directed to
give consideration to the proposal that in all cases of substituticn an official
go to the scorer's bench whore the substitution will be completed.

3. The RESEARCH COMMITTEE is to further study the possibilitics in the pro posal to
permit five personal fouls before disqualification. They are also to give con-
sideration to the proposal which would require that after a successful goal, tho
ball be given t« the proper team out of bounds at mid-court in order to insure a
few secends delay between the scoring of a goal and tk putting of the ball in
play. Another problem that is to receive considcraticn is the matter of alleged
rough play in the last few minutes of a game and which is attributed to the right
to waive afree throw.
