Mr. He We Maddock,
Eastman Kodak Company,
Rochester, New York.

Dear Good Friend:

While conducting a coaching school for the Iowa State High School
Athletic Association at Boone, Iowa, this summer I had the pleasure of
working with Mr. Bud Parmalee, former pitcher for the New York Giants,
Lou Fonseca, the American League goodewill representative, as well as_
"Pie" Traynor, third baseman and former manager of the Pittsburgh
Pirates. Ray Eliot, football coach of the University of Illinois, was
also on the coaching staff. :
Bud Parmalee told me that he had a copy of the film on the fight
between the cobra and the mongoose. In my coaching class I had used
the adroit actions of the mongoose stressing perfect relaxation. This,
I emphasized, was necessary in playing the game of basketball in the
proper way. Bud Parmalee says that you have the film and wan he obe
tained one from your company.

I would like to know what a scopy of that film would cost. I would
like to have it in my coaching work, Will you be kind enough to give
me that information?

My kindest regards to you and my best wishes to your colleagues,
especially Mr. Edwards.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
