Dear Doctor Allen:

I received your letter in rerard to the basketball clinic to be held Saturday,
December 29.

It was my thought to devote the morning session to team demonstrations and then use
most of the afternoon for an officials and rules clinic. I don't know just what time
Saturday morning we should start but since most of the high school coaches and officials
will come in from out of town that morning I presume we cannot do a great deal before
ten o'clock. I think, however, we'll advertise it for 9:30. It will not be necessary
to close the morning session ‘ust at twelve o! clock, however, because the afternoon
session can start as late as 2:30 and give us plenty of time.

I do not think we ought to use too many teams and coaches because they will take a lot
of time and spread the information out pretty thinly. I -have asked Paul Kutnink of
Emporia State to participate and he has ae reed. I thought that if we could get

Bill Monypeny of Southwestern to use some of his boys and show a few things that they
would like to emphasize it would not be necessary to invite others. This will rive you
more time for your demonstrations and discussions and we would like to have you serve
as a general critic for the entire demonstration program.

Kutnink uses the razzle-dazzle basketball and their defense works all over the floor.
Some of our high school coaches are trvins to use this and I thoucht it: micht be well
for him to _ a little time to discuss the fundamental features of his system. I'l]
write to Bill Monypeny and ask him to have something ready. When the tournament opens
we may have an opp ortunity to discuss a few of the features and outline the program
more definitely.

I'll get out some publicity on the clinic and also send personal notices to officials
and coaches. Anything you have in mind that you think will be beneficial that can be
taken care of in the short time that we shall. have will be very satisfactory with us.
I realize that a full course in besketball cannot be given in a few hours and so I

think it will be best if we pick out a few important features and dwell on them. If
similer clinics are held in the future we can feature other items then
