Dear Mr. Allen:

I have your letter of January 4th in regard
to floor markings which I will try on our bloxonend
wood floor.

I have a copy of Mr, Floyd A. Rowe's letter
to you of the 6th relative to the white ball. We used
a white ball Tuesday night and to me this type ball put
more color into the game, The spectators liked it a lot,
We played in white uniforms which made a nice color
scheme, I think that we should standardize on a certain
type ball. The majority of our players do not like the
last-bilt ball. Personally I do not think it matters
what type they use, Statistics in our scrimmages under
game conditions bear me out.

We have not played on a court where the
extentions are four feet from the backboard. I rather
like the option,

I think that we should give considerable thought
to allowing a substitution after scoring a field goal.

Sincerely,

Athletic Director,

CP:mb
