Coach Wood ‘Page 2 Jeane 10, 1941

I have observed this rule when you have a versatile linesup
you can use most any type of orthodox offense or defense and win with it,
but when your men are small, which ours have been for the last eight years,
then you have to congest your defense and gamble on their beating you from
out in fronte I would much rather take chances on their beating with
longer shots than short ones. Therefore, my contention is that you will
win eight out of your ten games by playing a sliding, switching zone
type of game, but if you move out too far you are liable to lose over half
of theme .

I would say that your defense looks very good and I still believe
that we are not so far apart on the type of denfensive that we both use.
We move our center defensive man out just a little further, keeping him
back to the location you show for a while, but flanging him anteroposterior
and diagonally a little further than you shows sy

i would say that your defense looks very good and if’ I am not
answering your questions I would appreciate your writing me again and
I will be happy to do the best I can to explain the situation in a short
description that is permitted only in a letters : i
