championship game with the Sooner Eoy Scats,- it might be appropriate to glance
between the Red and Blue jacketed covers of Doctor Allents new book "Better Bas~
ketball" and take a look tucbeins

Not so compact as Nat Holmants neat opus "Winning Basketball" because of the
tremendous scope shes denied tutor attempts, "Better Basketball" nevertheless
ranks with Holmants volume as the outstanding textbook on the mechanics of the
sport and far surpasses anything previously written as an omibus and source=
book on the game,

The Kansas coach has been kidded in some of the early reviews for cramming
poetry, statistics, recipes ( including that of his famous orange egg=nog ye
music, etc. into the book along with the actual basketball,

However, over on page 191 where he starts talking about screening ( team
maneuvers by which the defensive man is blocked out so an offensive man may be
freed for a shot at the goal ) Doctor Allen will hold even the sharpest critic
enthralled, Any high school coach who will study these chapters closely and
teach them patiently will strengthen his team's offense and lay a foundation that
may lead to a better job.

And when he gets over to part IV, “Athletic Injuries and Emergencios," the
doctor penis throws a block on his subject, That's ies ts got that "Dr," in
front of his name, studying athletic injurics at medical school, and this section
is one of the finest in the book,

High school coaches, and after all the book was pointed at them, probably

   

will cat up the same digressions the critics objected to, For instance they'll

appreciate being told how a dirty ball should be cleaned with harness soap because

   

they wontt be able to afford a new ball every week,
