Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kans, Dear Mr. Allen: Last year the comments by various basketball coaches on the new no-tip off rule made interesting reading. This year we believe that a discussion of the problem of improv- ing the sportsmanship at basketball games, as suggested by the Ethics Committee of the National Associafion of Basketball Coaches and printed in our September issue, would not only make interesting reading but would bring out helpful suggestions to make the great game of basketball entirely free from unsports- manlike conduct on the part of spectators. Do you have the problem in your institution? What are your suggestions for correcting it? We will appreciate your co-operation, As we would like to run the comments in the December issue at the start of the basketball season, we would like your remarks as early as possible. Yours very truly, Uv t he
