In the opinion of many, the chapter on Treat-
ment of Athletic Injuries is worth the price of the book. Cer-
tainly a coach who is well versed in caring for his men will win
more games than the coach who neglects this very important feature.

To dramatize a game and to provide exceptional
entertainment between halves many times determines the success of
a coach. "Better Basketball" goes deeply into this important phase
of the pre-game and between-game activity and shows the manager
and coach many possibilities in drawing patrons to the games who
might not continue to come for the game attraction alone,

, For the junior and senior high school coach
a chapter on Motivation is highly interesting, A series of
offensive and 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. Correct
fundamental skills develop neurograms or brain tracts which are
conducive to the making of fewer mistakes. Mistakes are called
fouls in basketball and fouls defeat a team that makes too many
of them, Foul less and win more by learning correct fundamental
skills.

"Better Basketball” incorporates everything
that a player, coach, an official, a trainer or a manager of a
team needs to know about his own special phase of the game. Nothing
has been omitted to make this text the most complete and interest-
ing story of this great indoor game yet written.
