. I have never seen Bruce smoke. I do not smoke, and
when @ boy passes me I either smeil his breath or the perspir-
ation from his body, and it is very evident to m¢s When my son
played on the basketball team I never saw him smoke
ball season, but I could smell it on him = that was enough for
mee

:

I have not been wmpleasant in informing Bruce of my
expectations, but all the boys Imow that I do expect them to
train during basketbell season, and while I do not think that

they consider it wmsportsmanlilke, I now they would be happier

I think it would be a salutery thing for Bruce to
know that you and I have corresponded regarding these thingse
Of course, no boy wants to feel that the coach is tattling to
his mother, but if we put it on a bigger basis = that he should

Perhaps you might tell him that you wrote me regarding
his academic subjects, end I came back with this other informations

With every good wish for « very happy Thanksgiving and
Christaas, I an

Very sincerely yours,
