Dear Bobs

ae tere are some of the things that would be helpful in your
job as assistant in the basketball room.

I would have two bags for the bails so they are easily
carried. I would suggest to the boys that their laundry sould be
changed most any time that it is soiled, but I would use my judgment
in hendling the matter. Some fellows want a change every day, which
is not necessary, and others neglest it. By handling these boys you
will soon learn how to balance the situation. The practice shirts
should be laundered at least once a week. I have talked to Iir. Dean
Nesmith and he will get some extra shirts so that we will have plenty

to practice aa while the others are being laundered.

There are hooks on the south wall that we will place ad-
hesive name-plates under for the boys to hang their clothes on, but we _
— i a ee ee so enn not be necessary to do
that.

, I would got a large freo throw chart by drawing lines
end squerc on it for the days. I will explain this to you when I talk
with you. .

The windows on the north side of the gymnasium should
all be open, but the windows on the south and the doors should be kept
shut and the windows pushed up so that shafts of sunlight do not strike
the players in the face. Also there should be about 35 folding chairs
piled in the southeast corner for the boys to sit on during the time

they are not sorimaging.

It is always well to have at least three or four or a
half dozen towels in the bag so that the boys may wipe their faces.

Also, if there is anyone ruming on the treck while I am
coaching, if you will kindly tell them that Dr. Allen cannot coach with
that noise going on, I will appreciate it. Keep anybody from rumning on
the track and keep small boys from bringing basketballs up and shooting —
