Dear Coach:-=

Bruce and I are going to try an article on
basketball goons. I know the subject is a bit
trite at this late date, but we will try to
approach it from a new angle.

Bruce is high on your 12-foot basket idea.

I kinda like the suggestion now before the
rules committee that big men who touch the ball
in its downward flight on a try-for-goal be
penalized a basket. However 1 can't shake him
on the 12-foot. basket. He thinks it superior
to the present proposal.

IT am submitting some questions about the 12-foot
bucket and other related points. I wonder if
you'd have. time to answer it? Pretty soon?

If you don't want any of your answers to go as
quotations, just designate which ones. I want
to get your part all straight,

Oh yes, be sure to send back the appended list of
questions. It's the only one I have,

at

Harold Keith.
