‘Dear Dts Poxwters

Answering your commmication of recent date regarding
the tentative copy for the 1940 questiomaire, there are only
hl

I believe that it would be well under Rule 5, Section
4, to permit o player who has left the game, except for dis-
qualification for four personal fouls or for other disqualie —
fieations, to re-enter the game three times instead of twice.
This would enable a fatigued individual to be taken out end
placed back one more time than the rule now permite. The game
has become so strenuous that I believe this would be helpfule

Also, in regard to the strenuosity of the game, there is
a definite feeling that the center jump should be brought back
in some fashions Do you not think it would be a good idea to
ask a vote om the possibility of restoring the center jump, either
as a rotation juap like the betting order in baseball, or some
ochemy Cok wkd be aittanet tin ea ld yulst

Certainly the new rules, with their war-cry basketball of
shuttling up and dom the floor, are coming in for a lot of
criticisms This is not one of my hobbies, as I have only one,
and that is elevating the baskets two fect. Just think of the
sins thet we have got in the way of prohibitions on account of
the ten foot baskete

Very sincerely yours,
