Dear Mr. Higgins,

I have your letter dated November 10 regarding my basketball
text, Better Basketball.

This book contains the very best materials that I could

gather. It has 163 photographs and 86 diagrams together with
information on training and conditioning, treatment of athletic

injuries, bandaging, emergencies, etc.

It also contains the "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've written these stories
so as tos timulate youth to greater and finer endeavor.

fhe cost of Better Basketball is $4.00. If you will mail me a
check for that amount 1 will be glad to autograph and mail you a
copy post-paid. If you would like any specialthing said in your
autograph I will be glad if you will indicate it. It will bea
pleasure for me to send it. By sending this book C.0.D. it would
cost you 25 or 30¢ more than under this method. I am desirous of

saving you that much money.
Sincerely yours,.
