Dear Mr. Allen:=

I wish to thank you for your letter of September 29th
and it was very kind of you to write to me concerning the suggestion
which I made some time ago concerning possible revision in the basket-
ball rules to give the small players a better opportunity against the
tall men and physical monstrosities who are so common in the game today.

I thought that you were still on the National Committee;
however, I can readily see that after spending so many years of valu-
able service to the protection and improvement of the game you cer-
tainly deserve a rest and should not be troubled by controversial
questions which naturally will arise in making changes in the rules.

I still am interested in basketball but trust that some
steps may be taken in the future to give the small, and average, size
men a better chance.

With kindest regards and best wishes, I am

Yours very sincerely
