However, I do want you te know that we would be de- lighted to meet your boys again, and I hope that we may have the opportunity.

He Browne, Nebraska; Bruce Drake, Oklahoma; George Edwards, Missouri; Jack Gardner, Kansas State. 2« In the absence of the regular secretary, Louis Menze of Iowa State, his duties were given temporarily to George Edwards. 3e It was recommended, discussed and agreed upon that future winter meetings should be better coordinated with those of the Directors and Faculty Representatives so that any suggestions from the coaches which require actions by those bodies may be submitted immediately. Therefore, the basketball coaches are urged to plan early season practices and games so as to avoid conflict with the regular meeting of these bodies scheduled for the first Saturday in December. 4. The temporary secretary was instructed to obtain the Big Six regulations regarding squad limitations for games, and to include these in his report. -~~--taken from the minutes of the Directors’ meeting in Ames, May 18-19, 1939. "The following trip limits of varsity players in Conference competition for conference games was set as a limit: Basketball - 10 men" Comment: According to this regulation the visiting team is limited to 10 players; the home team is not restricted. From opinions expressed at the meeting the coaches do not favor this rule, If so, they should draft a substitute and present it at the annual meeting next springe : 5+ It was agreed to add a "checker" to the officials at the scoring bench whose duties are outlined on page 14 of the 1940-41 Guide in an article on "Game Administration" by Summer A. Dole. 6. The home team shall wear uniforms which are all white except the trim; the visitors are to dress in their school colors so that in both pants and shirts solid colors will predominate, ada 7.

Each gaine: isito be played with a molded ball of the Riddell or Rawlings type. The game ball is to be inflated to a pressure which will result in a legal bounce when tested on the game playing floor. Comment: There was some discussion as to the possibilities of agreement by two schools to use other types of ball. No vote was taken. By common consent it was agreed that a shift in the ball could be made by mutual agreement of those concerned without consent of other schools. All situations are to be ruled according to the book.
