find out how “Phog” turns out

such startling regularity.
The first morning .was_ spent in

coaches and in discussion some of
the specific problems which confront
basketball coaches. Dr. Allen, aided
by Elwyn Dees, Kansas trainer,
demonstrated some of the funda-
mental principles of the treatment of
athletic injuries. Special stress was
laid upon the importance of psychol-
ogy in treatment.

In the afternoon, Dr. Allen and his
‘class’ got down to brass tacks and
began talking basketball. Individual

afternoon led to discussions on ball
handling, pivoting, and recovery
from backboard. During a later part

of the session, the coaches adjourned N
