Mr. H»V. Porter,

Asst. Mgr. Til, High Seh,. A sAay

- Dear Mr. Porter:
; a /

Thank you very much for sending me a

topy of the January-February issue of the Tilinois High School

Athlete. I was tremendously interested in your “Effects of the.

New Rules on Baskét Ball” on pages 69 and 70 and I think you

have hit _ pretty well on the head,

opinion would be that we should
still hold to the ruling on the illegal starting of the dribble,
because if we permit them to attempt more of a change than they
are, it will put such a great burden on the guard that very soon. oe
there will. be a cry raised against the use of the dribble and | :
there will be an effort to disbar thé dribble from play. For
that reason I am in favor of protecting the dribble as much as
possible by endeavoring to hold the dribbler down and not give him
much of an advantage over the defensive man, \

_ T imagine Fred Young of Bloomington, |
Illinois gets your magazine, but I have written him today calling
attention to some of your timely comment and asking him to get hold

of one. I wonder if you would be kind enough to send him cons if
he tis not already receiving it.

By the way, I have written C.5, McBride
of the Kansan City Star also, calling attention to your summariza-
tions and I told him I was going to ask you to mail him a copy.
Would you kindly write to Mr. McBride, calling attention to the vA
article on pages 69 and 70. I think this article is very much worth
while and I also thank you for calling my attention to it, also, for
your thoughtfulness in mailing me a copy.
