Mrs. Alice K. Griffith,
fhe Athletic Journal,
6858 Glemrood Avenue,
Chicago 26, Illinois.

T acknowledge receipt of your check with thanks.

I am trying to think of a nifty name for an article
that I think will be a real service to the basketball coaches who
are patrons of your Athletic Journal. I am working at something
new that has not been touched upon. You can count on my finishing
this article about December 15th.

 

You remember I wrote you about conbatting a pressing
defense. Iread John Krafft's article and it does not touch upon
what I was going to do. I dislike to digress from terminology be-

 gause there is no such thing in basketball terminology as the

"paggle-dazzle" game. This morning about 3:30 or 4 o'clock I had
an appropriate name for my article, but it left me because I did

not concentrate on it enough when I got up. I am thinking about

"Stifling the So-Called Razzle-Dazzle Game”.

I have met coaches who have tried this on me and I-
have never published it before. But I believe it would be worth
the money. If I ean think of a better title I will use it, but
if this satisfied you I believe we can do pretty well with it.

Very sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Education,
PCAs H ; Varsity Basketball Coach.
