Coach Lawrence Servaisc,
Gove, Kansas.

Dear Coach Servais:

In answer to your request for basketball plays that are
especially adapted to high school boys I am to

you my text, "Better Basketball", which I wrote last year for
MeGraw+liill Company.

There is a chapter on Motivation written particularly
for the junior and senior high school coach, and I believe
you would find this interesting and valuable. A series of
offensive end defensive skill movements are outlined as a
class problem which enable the high school coach to teach
his pupils mass fundamentals without each player handling
the ball.

| This text on basketball pedagogy is profusely illustrated
with 163 action photographs and 86 diagrams of plays. I feel
sure the text contains e11 the information you desire, and more.
There is a chapter on the Treatment of Athletic Injuries which,
in the opinion of many coaches, is worth the price of the book.
T had in mind the high school Coaches when I wrote this chapter.

Also in the back of the book I have incorporeted chapter
entitled “Tales of Yesteryears". These are stories of great

genes thet our teans have played against opponents that pro-
dused thrilling, ohimeaes.

The cost of the book is $4400, ond may be ebtained at
most of the sporting goods houses. However, if you should
desire an autographed copy I would be happy to send it to you
postpaid upon receipt of your check or money order for $4.00.

With best wishes for a very successful season, I am
Sincerely yours,

FCA:H _ Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
