We heave rebound drill... We shart the basket into three areas, the. two lateral areas and the: area. in front: of: the basket... We divide the basket: into halves. If the bell comes off the left side. of. the basket we pley to the left after tipping it slightly to aid the rebounder in catching it, and then drive off to the side and toward the corner at en angle. Then we pass oute Likewise, if the ball is recovered on the other side, we follow the same directions. The man in front of the basket may tip or catch the ball as the opportumity presents. But we always attempt to have three rebounders on all plays. — On the offense, when a player drives dow the floor and there are no rebounders there, the lone player does not attempt his shot unless there is a drive-in leyeup. Ne will pivot and pass off and the other players on the team will swing into favorable offensive rebound areas. I have always been of the definite opinion that unless e team is a good rebound team they will,not win a championship. You do not win the game at the center of the floor on tip-offs, but you beat your opponents under the offensive or the defensive area by re~- pounds. ‘There is not much data written on this but I suspect that all coaches have their own formula and method in teaching rebounds. 1 have written a book, published by Mc@raw-Hill and Company, entitled "Better Basketball", in which I place a great deal of emphasis upon fundamental play and rebounds. I am sending you some material on the book in case any of the officers should be interested. I have these texts here at the office and wovld be glad to autograph a book if you care to send a check for $4.00. Iwill pay the postage. On pages 162-3 we have photographs and exposition describing the ! proper recovery of the ball off the backboard. We spend quite a bit of time during the year for several consecutive practice sessions on this very aneetae offensive end de- fensive rebound work. age iccitvs new ae aieltak wha & Ge tae nied itera at ha sat) Ga as Geen Wann, we use both the slow and the fast break. The fast break when we have our men outnumbered, and the set plays or slow break when the defense has an equal number to our offensive team. We call this " sorimace, and rather than to have the actual scrimmage I will throw the ball against the backboard and let the tw teams fight for the rebound. Then we apply witha: Shee mle oe Ae Seek break, as the situation demnds. of course, we use more of our time on individual offense and individual defense. In other words, individual fundanentals, until each man kmows how to handle himself on the equrt. Then we build a team like a builder builds a house, block upon block. But I do not use team play until I have developed in- dividual play, and the type of system that will mesh together with full understanding. I use masse drill in teaching individuel fundamentals. | ; I can work on 32 men on individual fundamentals, both offensive and defensive, and then when it comes to team fundamentals I use no more than ten, Pive on each side. By that time I have selected ten of the best players and I supplement this group by: shifting in the better players of the ner fellows on the sidelines. I never cut a squad. 7 cane have through all the years eliminated eny of the players because they were not as skilfully pro- ficient, but I do place great emphasiz upon team training and morale and the players eliminate themselves by breaking training or showing lack of interest. Those fellows never get much of a chance and they soon drop out. Ifa fellow is a trouble-maker I have an individual conference with him and put it up to him in such a way that he will just cheek in his suit. Of course, if a man drank liquor or created e bad situation that would warrant his dismissal from the squad diate: I would have a talk with him end just tell him that the squad didn't want him. Or sometimes I leave it up to the boys and they dismiss hime I generally try to make it a squad proposition when it comes to discipline. But I have already created the proper esprit de corps and morale that finds any disciplinary measure a popular one with the Groupe _ I trust this answers your questions. It is always a pleasure for me to give priority to any men in the service, and I have answered your letter ahead of much correspondence that I have on my desk.

Hone We Pe Lamberton, Member of Congress, Washington, D. C. Dear Bill: I have the four page copy of your radio address, also copy of Congressional Record with your address, and also copy of the history of Appropriations Committee. I appreciate very much your courtesy in send- ing me these documents. As to the correctness of your po- sition on current war legislation, I don't know. Nobody knowse At this time I am sure it is impossible to say just what a majority of Kansas people endorse among the so-called war issues. However, I am quite sure that fundamentally an overwhelming majority of Kansas citizens feel that Hitler must be de- feated. After that, diversity of opinion ranges widely. Also, I believe people gen- erally have not determined when or how we are to get full force into this war. Nei- ther can they decide how or when we can stay out full force. I think it is true the aver- age citizen does not realize we are in the war, which, of course, we are.e Probably it can be proven we have gotten in by stealth. Stealth seems to be the modern method of get- ting into a war. We are simply following the method. I sometimes feel the failure of lead- ers to formally declare war is not so much a strategy of surprising the enemy as it is strategy for avoiding a formal proposition of war to their own people. I am pretty thorough- ly convinced the latter idea has prevailed with our leaders up to this time. All over the world national leaders may feel people generally are sick of war, do not want to go to war, do not believe in war. This attitude on the part of nations may come from two causes. First, that the world has become topsy-turvy. Increase of wealth, higher standards of living tend to increase selfishness and decrease devotion of the higher ideals of life. Consequently, a (We Pe Le, #2) people have less conviction and aggressiveness for what we call sacrifice for principle sake. second, on the other hand the disinclination of people to go to war may come from the fact that civilization has advanced far enough that people consider war barbarous, needless waste and destruction and unchristian, all of which it is. Certainly, in America at least, we are not yet aroused on either patriotic or Spiritual ideals necessary to carry us into great sacrifice in a great war. I do not think it is fair to say a majority of the people are definitely opposed to our leaders who are going to war, but they are wishing and hoping that the leaders are wrong and Can avoid war. I think very few are con- Vinced war can now be avoided. If we go to war, we will go unconvinced as to a definite thing for which we fight so far as any patri- otic or spiritual ideals are concerned. If this is true, our nation is facing a very great catastrophe because, win or lose, we lose anyhow. I am sure a great many people are thinking along the lines that we are in a great trend of history. The great trends of history were never very clearly understood by the participants, not even by the leaders. It seems that men cannot in their generation know fully what is going on in times of great historic trends. If history teaches anything, it is that the fundamental philosophy of the Christian religion has successfully, though slowly and with some backsets, followed a dominant course. I am thinking that, too deep for any of us to grasp convincingly, there may be a trend now which the Christian philoso- phy is forcing. For years enough to make it somewhat definite within your life time and mine broader and more liberal rights of the common men have been established. In spite of all the evil excesses which lead us to question progress in our generation, I think progress has prevailed. MIiillions of human be- ings now have a higher standard of education, a higher grade of general intelligence, more personal comfort, more influence as citizens, broader mental and spiritual outlook than were enjoyed by comparable millions at any time in the past. (We Pe Le, #3) If the present situation can in the least be made concrete, it seems to me the trend of history now is just what it has been in the past in great crises of nations. Al- ways there has been the question of value and worth of personality as against all other phas- es of advancing civilization. We say Hitler and his forces represent the idea that the state or something apart from personality is the prime object of all social effort. The democratic idea is that personality and not government and nothing else but the develop- ment of personality should be the chief con- cern of the state. Whatever hinders the ful- lest development of personality must be curb- ed. Whatever develops personality and ex- pands human capacity for intelligence, ac- complishment and happiness must be encourag- ede A state is abstract; personality is con- crete. It is an absurdity that a state can be something apart and above the individual units that compose ite We can define the limits of a state. No one yet short of the Great Teacher of all history has ever defined - the limits of personality. No one can deny that in all wars the entanglements of business, politics and selfishness have sway of leadership. These are temporary entanglements. Later the race emerges with definite gains. I think I have always lined up with the latter view. I cannot see my way very clearly in any direction, but I cannot believe the great calamaties and devastation of this war have come upon the world to no plan or purpose. Always there has been plan and purpose. Always it has developed benefi- cence in the largest considerations. Regard- less of all hindrances and devastating eras, the race has marched steadily from barbarism to more light, to the broader life and to greater understanding. On the more practical side, perhaps, I am like yourself, I certainly cannot agree with what seems to be the fundamental purposes of the present administration, which have seem- ed to take the line of least resistance, yet we can be wronge The confusion in all this is that many people are doubting their own doubts. The belief grows upon me that at the end of this world war some sort of new order will pre- (Ws Pe Le, #4) vail. It may be worse for several generations and it may be better. I believe our leaders have visions of a new order. They themselves do not know whether it will be better or worse. At the end of this war Germany, Britain, Japan and America will be bankrupt financially. The challenge to statesmanship is to see that we are not bankrupt morally and spiritually.
