MINUTES OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The Executive Committee met at the Harvard Club in New York
on February 9, 1933. Besides the president and the secretary, the
following members were present: Messrs. Berry (Cornell), Bing-
ham (Harvard), Raycroft (Princeton), St. John (Ohio State), and
Sackett (Penn. State). Dr. Edgar Fauver (Wesleyan), who acted
as secretary pro tempore at the Annual Convention in December,
was also present.

Basket Ball Rules Committee

Mr. St. John, chairman, reported on the proposed re-organization
of the asta which is a joint body, comprising representatives
of the N.C. A. A., the A. A. U., the Y. M. C. A. With ten dele-
gates from the N. C. A. A. and proportionately large representation
from the other bodies, it is felt that the committee is too large for
practical purposes; the expenses of committee meetings are heavy,
and greater efficiency would be secured by reducing the number,
retaining the idea of joint representation. ‘The plan now under
consideration by the committee provides for representation as fol-
lows: four from the N. C. A. A., three each from the Y. M. C. A.
and the A. A. U., two from the National High School Federation,
one from Canada, and one from the Basket Ball Officials Associa-
tion; the chairman and the editor of the rules would be elected by
the joint committee. The N. C. A. A. might continue to elect eight
members of the committee, one from each of the eight districts,
but only four of them would attend each annual meeting of the
committee when the rules are under discussion, the representatives
of two continguous districts alternating with each other in attend-
ing the meetings, but keeping in touch with each other so that one
would be able to present the views of both districts. Mr. St. John’s
report was accepted as one of progress, the main outlines of the
scheme having been approved by the Council at its December
meeting, and he was authorized to proceed further in the considera-
tion of the plan.
