Manager, N.C.A.A. Basketball Tour.

Dear Mr. Allen:

Although several recent hasketball rules! changes
have macdeussedty benefitted the game, I feel that
due to the increased interest in basketball and tke
improved rules, these rules should not be changed.
The only change ! would like to see made is in the
backboard, diminishing the size and using the con-
vex steel type.

Basketball at the University of Maine, as well as

in all of New England, has greatly increased. The
attendance at our home games this year has averaged
<,000 and several games were sell-outs necessitating
us to turn away hundreds. This speaks well for the
type of game played so why make changes in the

rules that might lessen this interest?

Sincerely yours,

Wme C. Kenyon

Coach of Basketball
