If we don't raise the basket or
do an about the side or end-line, I am in favor of prohibiting
the p vot post man from shooting at a basket when he receives the
ball with his back to the basket in the free throw lane. Allow
him to hmdile the ball in this area with the three second re-
striction as now.

Purther, I would be in favor of
taking no time out for substitutions in the last minute of each half
as is the case in the football rules. I have seen this thi
abused this year and I believe before the abuse gets too flagrent,
we should crop this play situation closely at the start.

Also, I believe it is well to con-
sider the minimun size of a basket ball. Most coaches want it
smaller and by discussing that at the present time, we could agree
— t would not be hazardous to the manufacturers of

Be

a vavitnas, I think it would be well
to take up the booing situation and see if we can't as coaches ¢o-
operate with the newspaper men and the athletie authorities in
downing some of the more rabid manifestations of disapproval.

For several years, we have had two
12 ft. baskets installed at the ends of our practice court and I
use these in emphasizing the necessity of the arch. Then, after
c~ back to our regulation 10 ft. basket, our boys roll them in
ere readily. |

You will please understend, Roy
that I am not fight. for any of these proposals to take arrest
this year. The game is splendid as it is, but why not use some of
these items for trial and research and see if an improvement eannot
be made in the game?

I am planning to be with you all
three days and I know that you are going to have a fine turnout.
I am sstesciatial that Mrs. Allen will drive down with me.

With every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director.
