Dear Mr. Henry: ‘

I beg your pardon for my long delay in answering your
good letter of March Grd. I know that you feel that I did
not care to answer your inquiry, but that is far from the fact.
We had a play-off series in our conference, and in our district
and the National Collegiate. I was out of town so
that time, and upon my return administrative matters and teach-
ing responsibilities left me no alternative but to put aside much
of my correspon until I could find time. I am just now
getting around t some of the letters that should have been
answered months ago. |

_ In endeavoring to answer your question, first I would
venture an opinion that the shooting in the cast has been after
the teaching of Clair Bee, of Long Island University, who is a
very excellent coach. His shooting technique and mine are entire-
ly different. I can only speak aa to my own coaching, and will
answer your questions to the best of my ability.
