Dear Phog:

I have just finished reading Rebounds No. 17, and
have read all others I have received. I marvel at your ability
to write and express yourself - and - especially at the broad
and interesting experiences you have had.

Which is the occasion for my writing this letter, and
the suggestion I have to make. .

Why dont you write a book - an auto-biography?

I feel that with the high ideals you have always
maintained for the boys, teaching them to win honorably and
honestly, incorporated in a book with your experiences, ~
would tend to raise the moral and spiritual standing of our
boys. In my opinion, it would be a best sellerr among the
boyhood of the nation.

Illustrations of what I mean - The "Dream touchdown"
in Rebounds No. 17. Your references to T. P. Hunter. I still
recall the speech you made before our Rotary Club a number of
years ago, and your reference to your own son. You have the
ability of clinching your stories in a manner that they are not
forgotten. With all your years of experience, you doubtless have
a big fund of anecdotes, not only in basket ball, but along
other lines.

I have talked with many a fellow who was coached by
you or came in contact with you, and never have I heard one
say anything except favorable words. You already have a follow-
ing that would assure the success of the publication.

You now have an excuse for doing this - a_request. I
do hope, for the good it will do, that you will give it some thought.

This letter is not for publication, and no reply is

necessary, and, I am sending you every good wish for your contin-
ued success.
