Dear Johnny:

Bruee Drake and Harold Keith of the University of Oklahoma,
have written a story for The Saturday Evening Post the title of
which is "Seven Foot Trouble". It deals with Kurland, the seven-
footer. : :

: I remember that you with your Stanford team did quite a bit

of research on the higher basket, and the essence of the finding, ,
I believe, was that it fatigued tha boys more shooting at a 12 foot
basket than at a 10 foot basket. a

' I would be very grateful to you if you could send me a copy ~
of your research work on that. I am tremendously interested, and
if you will give me the method of your technique I think it wuld be
worth while to run a similar finding on the work that’ you did so
well a few years back. |

I am sending you a copy of a rather lengthy letter that I wrote
Hugh Fullerton, and in your added maturity I would appreciate your
eriticizing my article in a very critical way. I think something ~
should be done, and mefely legislating against the defensive goal-
tender does not answer the seven foot boy who can reach the basket.
They are just taking one part of the situation into consideration.
At any rate, I am still having a lot of fun. |

Ze rt t that you, Bonnie and lirse Huf? are well.
ith all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach. —
