Enclosed is a copy of an article
written from the material I collected by Bernard
Crandell, a United Press staff writef, which may prove
to be of some interest to you. I would appreciate any
comment you care to make about the article.

Although trying to remain unbiased
so as to make an honest approach to the various coaches’
opinions, I find myself disapproving of the super-speed
of this year's games. Therefore, I will await your
answer with considerable expectation, hoping that you
or Dr. Naismith may have some more effective approach
to getting this ruling stricken from the basketball

rulebook.

P.S. I am making a new canvass of all those
men whom I contacted last February in the hope of
shedding more light on what seems to be the most
difficult problem which basketball has faced in many
years. It has been sAid that the fans like the present
type of game much more and would leave the country's
fieldhouses in droves should the center jump be re-

introduced. What do you think about this?
