It so happens that I am secretary of the local Selective Service Board, and at the time you wrote I had charge of the County Red Cross War Fumd drive, together with my basket- ball and duties indident to heading up the Department of Physical Edusation aswell as teaching classes - so I was kept more than busy e Every few days I would think that I would have time to sit down and write you a resume cn your suggestions. Now since the basket- ball rules committee has met, I presume there is no added ineentive for you to reseive comments from me on the effeat of these rules on the game. & game played such as you suggest. It is a little too much for me to draw upon my imagination, and be accurate in uy deductions. At any rate, ing them to me, and if you still desire to hear from me I will write you at length.
