During the past two months I have given much time in helping clear up the muddled basketball situation that seems, to exist between player, coach, official and spectator. This work has been carried on through a series of talks, and demonstrations throughout many cities in this section of the country, some weeks as many as three a week were given without any remuneration to me, but only to try to get a uniform conception and interpretation of the amateur rules which govern all intercollegiate Y.
