Dear Dri-

Well the boys are finally seeing it your way,
and I venture to say that if Dr. F. C. Allen will just
sit back he will have the last chuckle. Their suggestion
were made as possible changes after the war. The one that
interested me was, “Award a field goal when a defensive
player touches a try for goal above the level of the basket
after the ball has started its downWard arc". They ask to
try it out and I ask you what coach has enough g--=- to ask
another coach who has such a goon to try it out even tho it
isn't in the rules. I guess they don't like to give into you
on the 12 foot basket just like I hate to give in to you on the
courte

I'm wondering if it isn't time for us to be drawing
up some kind of schedule, or find out what schools are plann-
ing on having five boys on the court. I believe we should keep
it alive if possible. I suggested to our director Dale Arbuckle
that we meet at the same time with the directors in K. C. Sat.
Sept. 4 and draw up eur schedule. What's your reaction.

Would you be interested in playing four games with me
this year. Say one in Kansas Citys; Oklahoma Citys Lawrence and
Norman. I think we both could help the flattened wallet. My
regards to your family and best of everything for your continued
success. Congragulations on your selection by Helms as the No. 1
Great in basketball coaching. One of these days before I die I
have hopes gaining such recognition because I hope to live well

past the 100 year mark.
