Mr. Otto Le Krula,
Superintendent of Schools,
Netawaka, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Krula: ; . ao

Your question is not foolish, It is a very good one. When
they are outjumping your center on the tip off, I use my two guards,
one in front of the other in the defensive half of the court, and
one of ny forwards in front of my two guards in the other half of
the jumping ciroele.

The symbols that I use are the square for the defense and
the cross for the offense. ; é

when we are obtaining the tip off I use but one guard back
and move the other guard up where one of the forwards were. And |
then move the forward in the front half of the offensive court.
IT will make this diagran for you so thxt you will have no diffioulty
in getting it from the diagram. Of the two men, one front and the
other behind the jumper outside of the virele, I have each one of
those men go to their own right, In that wey the center can tell
about where he desires to tap the ball if he is controlling it.

If this is not clear, please write me again and I will en-
deavor to clarify it further.

Sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education,
FPCA:AH Vargzity Basketball Coach. |
