Dear Dr. Allen:
Thank you for your letter of June 28th.

I have just recently received some copies
of my book from the MacMillan Company. Frankly,
it is just a little bit beyond my expectations.
Of course I may be prejudiced.

I am glad to know that you expect to use
the book as a reference in basketball methods.
The foundation of the beok, of course, is based
upon my fundamental training under you. I have
attempted to give acknowledgment of this in the
preface. I felt that I had something additional
to contribute in the way of philosophy of team
play and general procedure which were not present-
ed in other publications. This is the main excuse
that I had for writing the book. I will be glad to
have your critical comments when you have seen a

copy.
With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Dr. &. ©. Allien,

Director of Physical HEd.,
University of Kansas,
