Gentlemen:

From the chairman of the Rules Questionnair Committee I
have just received the following communication:

"The questionnaires are just beginning to return and there
Seems to be a rather universal acceptance of the rule changes by
the committee last year. eee

"One exception to this universal acceptance seems to be the
five personal fouls. There are a number of the returned sheets on
which the rather emphatic statement is made that the five personal
fouls has inereased the roughness of the game. While a large
majority of the returns show acceptance of the change still I
— ht it might be worthwhile to get some statistics on this one
point." '

Mr, Rowe then asks me to send in a report of total fouls
called in our games last year and this year. Unless reports are
obtained from @ large number of teams the statistics might not
give a true picture of the trend. Consequently, I have made out
a little blank for you to fill and send to Mr. Rowe.

On this blank please include regularily scheduled games.
If your team played in any tournaments list the foul record for
such games on the back side of the sheet.
Please mail your reply as quickly as you can to:
Mr. Floyd Rowe,
15210 St. Clair Ave.,
Cleveland, 10, Ohio.

The statistical information he collects should be of
great value to the Rules Committee which meets March 26,27.

Yours truly
George R// Edwards.
