I have coached football, basketball, baseball and track, so
have had rather a varied experience as a coache Also I have athletic
trainers at five of the large schools in the country, 411 of whon I .
have developeds Jimmy Cox at Harvard University, Roland Logan at West
Point Military Academy, Milton "Mike" Kelly at the University of Texas,
Elwyn Dees at the University of Nebraska, and Dean Nesmith at the University
of Kansas heres | You will recall the correspondence we had last yeare

Now, ecuieting the voley eapy .qnub at Vested, the fact that
T a eeldsends OF the Restareh. Oeamitteo of the National Basketball Rules
Committee, and also chairman of the National Collegiate Athletic Association,
Fifth District, would give me plonty of opportunity to express myself regard-
ing the exnsting strain and grind that the participants are subjected toe

- have suggested that we rotate the center jump, just as you would
have a batting order in baseball. The two coaches would give their lineeup
and we would have the players rotate for the jumping in their regular jumping
orders Personally, I do not believe that the center jump will ever come
back, and you could, of course, state thats. But.I do believe that basketball
as it is played now is too strenuous for the nag school shad unless we slow
it down after a field goale : .

Go a iJ WAAL de glad So advance the thedey nd collabwete with you
on taking a erack at this hurricane game of basketball that the public
thinks they like but they are saerificing skill and speed and causing too

- much of a strain. on the growing boys The game as we play it now under Sh,
- the rules may be okay for college boys but he is not right as it is played
now for high school boyse
