Dear Dr. Allen:

In line with your letters of May llth,
I am giving you herewith an excerpt from the Minutes of the
meeting of the Big Six Directors at Lincoln, May 17th, which
I pelieve will give you the action taken by the Directors on
the points set forth in your communications.

Excerpt - MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE MISSOURI VALLEY
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHIE TIC ASSOCIATION, Hotel
Lineoln, Lincoln, Nebraska - May 17, 1940.

Basketball Coaches! Requests

"The Directors voted to request the Faculty Representatives
that twenty (20) games be allowed each year with the under-
standing that at least two be played during the Xmas Holidays.
Motion by Ahearn, second by Henry. Passed.
NOTE: The Faculty Representatives denied this request.

The Directors voted that permission to play basketball games
on so-called neutral courts be denied.

Motion by Veenker, second by Ahearn. Passed.

NOTE: In joint meeting with the Faculty Representatives
this matter was discussed. The sense of the group seemed to
indicate that in all sports the floors and fields habitually
used by the home team should be considered their home court
or field.

The Directors voted that trip limits of basketball players be
kept as per previous action. Motion by Veenker, second by
Faurot. Passed."

This information is given you merely

for your records.
