I have received your letter dated Nov. 4.

I have written ea text book entitled, Better Basketball, which
contains the very information which you indicate that you
desiree In it I describe & mamber of plays which we use here
at the University with our Varsity team. These drille and
plays are thoroughly illustrated by 163 photegraphe and 86 di-
agrams. In addition, the book conteins information on training
and conditioning, treatment of athletic. injuries, bandaging,
emergencies, etce Setter setter? contains the very best
materials that I could ga

 

Also in this book are “Tales of Yesteryear” which are experiences
of our Varsity when they met opponents who were expected to win
the game, but with a stroke of good fortune and a bit of strategy
we turned the tables and won the game. I have written these
stories so as to stimulate youth to greater and finer endeavor.
The cost of Better Basketball is $4.00.

If you will mail me a check for $4.00 I will be gled to auto-
graph and mail you a copy post-paid. If you would like any
special thing said in your autograph I will be glad if you will
indicate it. It will be a pleasure for me to send it. By sending
this book ¢.0.D. it would cost you 25 or 50g more than under this
method. Iam desirous of saving you that much money.

I am enclosing some material which will help you to see 7
what the contents of Retter Basketball are.

Sincerely,
