to Members,
National 2asketball Committee:

For the last several years we have been fortunate enough to be able to
secure accurate statistics from hundreds of basketball games. These
have given us the basis for scientific study in connectio with any
given phase of the game. The statistics become increasingly valuable
when they are compared with similar statistics for other years. In
an attempt to continue this work on a national basis, each of the
state associations is being supplied with statistical sheets upon
vhich they may easily collect data.

It occurs to me that. all members of the committee should be inter-
ested in this type of work and many of the members are in a positim
to collect statistics of their ovn almg these lines. With this
thought in mind, I am including blank forms which may prove to be
helpful in work along this line.

With best wishes for a happy holiday season and a successful basket-
ball season, I am

Yours truly,

Babe
