Dear Sirss

As Sasketball Coach here et the University of Kansas I

around, and the boys are teking the compound which is an ex-
cellent remedy in building up their vitalitye

Last year you were Iind enough to send me a generous ety
supply of the compound, and I should greatly appreciate re=- *

Dear Dr. Allen:
I woulé like to get information on rough
percentage of teams throughout the
country who use a blocking system in
basketball. This includes the big ten.
There are many arguments to whether or
not the big ten teams use a fast break
at all times or if they vary and mix in
a slow break with set blocks.
Would you enlighten the subject for me,
Thank you.

Yours truly,

Coach of the High School

This book contains exactly wnt you want, I
believe, on the training for an athlete. There is a
chapter devoted to “seasonal preparations", dealing with
diet, exercise and practice, and so forth. Then there is |
another chapter on “motivation for younger boys", which

gives a rather complete deseription of the books Z

February 7, 1939

Basketball Coach,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Sir:-

The Sacramento Junior Chamber of Commerce in its
efforts to promote collegiate basketball in the Sacramento
Memorial Auditorium has encountered several problems; among
them, that of providing a suitable playing surface without
damage to the auditorium floor.

May we solicit the benefit of your experience in
the solution of this problem?

Are your basketball games played directly upon the
permanent gymnasium floor or do you employ a false floor of
some kind?

If the former, what agent do you use to guarantee
a slideproof surface and what is the cost of preparing the
floor for a game and restoring it to its original condition
after the game?

If your games are played upon a false floor, what
type do you use? Is it satisfactory to coaches and players?
Does it offer adequate protection to the permanent floor?
What was the original cost and what is the upkeep cost? How
many hours does it require to install and remove?

Finally, would you please suggest some commercial
firms from whom we may gather further suggestions.

Please accept our sincere thanks for any service you
may find it convenient to render us.
