Dear Fogg:

Your letter of the 20th has been received. I am going
to experiment with the twelve-foot basket just as som as
our season closes this weekend. Early next week I am going
to have two baskets elevated in our Intramral gymesium for
the purpose of experimenting on my own behalf in order that
I may have some practical experience in discussing this idea
at the Rules Comittee meeting. Since I have boys who range
in height from five feet, eight inches to six feet, five inches,
I should be able to get an idea as to the difference that height
may make under a twelve-foot basket.

U. S. C. has already won the Southern Division conference
championship. University of Oregon has lost four games and
has four yet to play on the road with Idaho end W. S. C. Oregon
State has lost three; they have two more to pley here this week-
end. Naturally, we look forward with some hope of bumping them
off. Qur record is not impressive, but we have beaten every
other team at least once or twice so we remain hopeful. Either
of these two Oregon teams could win or the race could end in a
tie.

Very truly yours,
BA
