‘In the first haif, of the nine fouls committed by Kansas, four were

committed in the Kansas half of the floor, and using the sane line of
reasoning, would indicate that they were offensive fouls rather than
defensive,

In ali, my chart indicates that Kansas played much sore aggressive
basketball in the first half than in the second, while Indiana's
aggressiveness began about the middle of the first half and extended

: t the reaainder of the game, becoming intensified defensively
in the second half. |

i am afraid that is about all the information I can give you, excepting
that three of the Kansas fouls coniitted in the entire game were come
aitted in locations that had nothing whatever to do with the scoring

of points. In other words, they were comaitted on Indiana men who
were not in a position to score. ee

On the other hand, Indiana committed nine fouls during the entire .
game upon Kansas players not in a position to score. This, I belleve,
indicates just abouti the ratio of aggressiveness of the two teams over

the entire came.

So far es T am coneerned, the game was a tremendousl interesting one |
to me —_ without passing any bouquets out at all would say that I .
consi your team the better coached, but considered that the Indiana

boys were more mature and pessessed the more natural ability including

ees

+ ‘his is a pretty rough analysis, but please understand that.
first of all, I was watching the game for the pleasure I was getting
out of it and not in any sense of the werd as & scout representing a
team which had to play either of the teams in action.

There was one thing I completely missed and which I tried my best to
catch. Possibly you ean helpume out on this. You will remeuber, Indi
made several baskets by a man suddenly appearing invariably fron the —
side of the court, running parrallel to the end line, entirely uncovered
by one of ~~ Players, getting the ball on a direct pess for & lay- |
up shot. i think they did this once in the first half and either three
or four times in the second Balf. a the life of me, I coulda't see
that there was any blocking of your player. However, the pley aust .
have beer a set ~ Ho and if you can diagram it for me, I wo a,
getting it, because qe thers was blocki (and there no doubt was °

it must have occurred eat a considerable distance fron the basket and
under such conditions that it certainly wasn't noticeable to ae.

Trusting this information which, as I have indieated, was secured for
Sy own amusesent and, therefore, is possibly not as accurate or
methodically kept as though it had been for scouting purposes, may be
of seme use to you, Zaam sek
