Dear "Phog":

Following is the list of men six feet five inches
and over that I know of in ow immediate vicinity:

Fechtman - Indiena - 6'8"
Gee - Michigan - 6'9"
Amundsen - Chicago - 6'7"

Drees - IlIowa - 6'5*
Walsh iowa = §'9*
Novak Notre Dame -_6'6"
Nowak - Loyola ~ 619?

In addition to this I am under the impression that
Marquette has a center who is 6'7" or 6'8". I trust this is the
information which you wanted.

As to your letter to "Saint" suggesting that we try
using the 12 foot basket, I'am afraid we won't be able to get any
results from such a trial because we haven't anyone on our squad
who is tall enough to give us a good indication as to how the
12 foot basket would effect the extremely tall player.

I am glad you were able to get here for "Saint's"
party. it certainly was very decent of you to make such a long
trip to be present on that occasion especially since you had to
hurry right back. 1 know that "Saint" and all the rest of us
appreciated your courtesy in coming.

Very sincerely yours,

H. G Glsen
Basketball Coach
