Dear Mr. Ward,
I have your letter of December 12.

The book, My Basketball Bible, is now out of print. Howevor,
two years ago the iG: Till Book Company published a new
book for me entitled, Better Basketball which has been re-
plecing my first text.

 

Better Basketball contains the very material which you indi-
‘cate that you desire. This material ie found in the first —
chapter entitled, “The Wider Scopes of the Gane" « 7

‘The book also contains a number of plays and drills which we
use here at the University with our Varsity team. These érills
and plays are thoroughly illustrated by 163 photegraphs and

86 diagrams. In addition, the book contains information or
training and conditioning, treatment of athletic injuries, ban-
daging, emergencies, etc. mn

Also in Better Basketball 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 geme. 1 have
written these stories so as to stimulate youth to greater

finer endeavor. ‘The cost of Better Basketball is $4.00.

If you will mail me a check for $4.00, I will be glad to auto=
graph end mail you a copy post-paid. If yo: would like eny
special thing said in your autograph I will| be glad 4f you will
indicate it. It will be a pleasure for me to send it. By

sending this book €.0.D. it would cost you 45 or 50¢ more than
under this method. I am desirious of saving you that much money: .

  
 

I am enclosing some material which will helj you to see exactly
what the contents of Better Rasketball ares —
