3 Just off hand, it would be the easiest thing in the werld |
for anyone to say that surely here is a game that was won by free thpowing,
for just look at this recapitulations-

Zeam A : Zeam B
Baskets Meade 5 so
Free Throws Made 12 7

Yet, when you look at the tabulation of baskets missed
by each team, how different the story becomegs=

Baskets Missed | 24 | 32

Short Set«Ups right 10
ander the basket missed 3

And here are the substitutions:s-

Hooke vata tie gn

The two men who went in for Team A when two of the
original players went out on four personal fouls accounted for one basket
and five free throws. The substitutions , that is the two men who replace
original players, who were later removed and tne original players going bac
in, and who finally again went in for the original players did not enter |
the scoring column expept to commit four fould between them, Certainly
no one can deny the influence of these substitutions either for good or fo:
worse, yet it would be hard to measure that. —

Yet here is a game that might have been included in your
ilas$ year's tabulation, and which would have added to the facts that you
have deducted from that tabulation. And I feel that these deductions are
unjust because they do not tell the entire story. ney are unjust to the
officials whe worked those games which were tabulated in your report. :

Now that I have completed this letter, I am wondering if

_ it will be of any valine to yous The spirit of it is entirely sincere, and

am not attempting to find destructive fault with your work. I am not an
old crank, understand, and I am hoping that you will not think that I am
entirely ignorant. :

i Yours very truly,
