Dear shitney:

I read your April 1 AP article out of New York in Clyde McBride's

sport page Sunday. The rules body did everything to ths basketball
rules except raise the basket.

Science has now discovered a growth hormone which makes ordinary
rates grow to about the siee of small dogs. These growth hormones
without doubt will be in great demand. Some basketball coaches
may feed them to their altitudinous umder-theebasket centers with
the idea of obtaining an easy helping-handestretch clear to the :
basket. Instead, I would feed the growth hormones to the basket
with the idea of increasing the height a couple of feet.

I em sending you a couple of brondcasts that I make eash week
over KFKU. From these sportcasts you may get the faint idea that
I might think that some of these fellows who delve in basketball
rule-making do not have all the answers.

“ith all good wishes, I am

Sineerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
