tough because they are not interested in the sportsmanship of the game or the

On your question “3 I should say that we need better Sallie
in fundamentals by our basketball coaches. But here again the big time coach
goes out and recruits his team and doesn't worry about the fundamentals. But
the small time coach should give more time to teaching fundamentals. If we
had good fundamentals taught the youngsters, the fire-oengine game could still
operate without putting too great a strain on the player. Medical science is

is eile to. your question -4, I think thet there are so many
angles involved that it is a mtter of research because there is so mish

but their opposition is weak. ‘The coaching record is much more difficult
than picking an outstanding collegiate basketball player. I still piek Hank
Luisetti as the best alleround player in the country. .
