Dear Doctor Allen:

I've just read with considerable interest your
article "Rotate the Center-Jump" in the Febru-
ary edition of Esquire, an advance copy of which
has just come across my desk.

You will, no doubt, stir up many a controversy
again and will get many letters on this subject,
but, let me be one of the first to say that you
are 100% right in getting away from the game as
we have it today. The dizzy pace is just too
much for the youngsters and I'm glad I played my
basketball under the old rules. Your solution
sounds sensible and it would be fair to everybody.
I hope you start something that can be put into
effect. :

I certainly enjoyed seeing Mrs. Allen, when she
was here last month and I am still looking for-
ward to that golf game with you. You have two
coming now, so if you have hoarded any golf balls,
come over this way at your first opportunity this
Spring and we'll see how gogd you are.

   
 
  
 
  

Sincerely yours

apb;hmc A. P. Bondurant
