‘Bear Mre Cannon,

I am enclosing the article, “Rotate the Center Jump". I trust
that Hr. Gingrich and you will like it. I've put mch thought
on this thing which I believe will be provocative of discussion.

I take it thet you will use cute or illustrations in the article
that you have access to there, I know that any article without
the “dolling up" »rovided by pictures or caricatures does not get
the job done. I've been told that the research poople in printing
heave found that a picture is 629 times as strong as the printed
word. ‘Take the word, “man”. By looking at a picture of a man it's
possible to get 629 descriptions of what he has or has not. We've
tried it here in the office and after much work with our helpers we
were able to work out 629 adjectives describing the mane So I
know that with your assistance in building this up that it should
have a good play. At least I think so.

Some of the physicians that have sounded this signal note of

danger are: Charles H. Keone, A.B. and U.D.,Directer of Health

and Physical Education University of Buffalo; A.B. Bower, M.D.

and $.J. Morris, M.D. of the health unit of the University of West
Virginia; C.A. Greenleaf, M.D., Buffalo; Semual C. Robinson, M.D. of
Chicage on the range of normal blood pressure.

Here are some of the pamphlets and writings protesting against the
strenuosity of the present game of basketball:
