‘Hr, Sylvester Sehnidt,
Gyunasiun,

Dear Sylvester?

? I have been called out of town this after-
noon and I would appreciate it very mueh if you will
conduct the basketball class, I would not advise ;
scrimmage this afternoon,

Teil the bers that we will practice tomorrow
but it will be perfectly all right if those who have
other things to do pass it up for studies or things
more important for that day. e | ;

The special drill that I would like you to.
emphasize is the matter of taking two offensive players,
as I have diagrammed on this slip of and using
egeinst them two defensive players, 2 offensive
players may dribble anywhere on the court and the
Gefensive players mest follow their own man, They are
not permitted to switch, trade or slide, regardless of
the play situation.

"Ore Tet Seer eet Be venter of te court.
The object of this dr is to make the guards hug a
closely to their forwerd, And even though they are
picked off by the sereen that I have diagrammed here,
and the pivot with a back yates number 1 guard must
follow nutber 2 forward, am endeavoring te make the
guards “ro eleser to the forwards so that all of our
Men will be playing the present zone, :

Then start on the out of bound drills after

eli of the men e worked this, and work tandem, 4
and 2, Do not vy it along but use the proper time,
ZI understand Prglle will not be here today, so use
_ Goley or some of the other men to help you. I would

i ay that you dismiss the squad by 53:15. Make it
rather short and snappy. Have every man throwc50 free .
throws a competition and keep track of the number
that 6 shoots,

i will appreciate this help from you,
Cordially yours,
