ASSOCIATION OF.
Dear Coacht .) jois\) wo? RL

Last Mirch 1944, the executive committee of the National
Association of Basketball ‘ eodchbs authorized and urged the brochure
on "Basketball Research in Fatigue.” ° This work Had two purposes:.
1. A factual presentation of the good in basketball and. the answer
to the criticism that it was bad for growing boys, 2. To further the
prestige of the association by its research in the game... Money had
been assignéd to our organization for the purpose. The request for
this paper was repeated during the summer. arse

The work and the number of people working, exceeded the
original éxpectations, We tried to keep within thirty-two paces “but
the final book will contain fifty-six. George Edwards has. done his
usual fine work and IT thtnk you and the association will be proud of
this basketball. contribution. It was Ed Kelleher's suggestion that
we have key men in every large center to see that the book fulfills its
twofold purpose of serving basketball: and our association. ‘What about
you?

The book will be off the press éarly in March. will you
help make it do its work and further its distribution?. If you will
tell us. the sports writers, columnists, etc. who you will interview, we
shall be glad to send you the number requested. We want the "moms"
and "pops* to like our game and we think this book will help all. forms
of strenuous OORERTELYS Apehetd css

i . “hile the BOOK’ is a free one to our association we have put
a one ‘dollar price.on it. “le would like for it to pay for itself and
to that end ve have had an additional 1500 printed. Believe me, we
slaved on this book and our dnly compensation would bé to see it serve
basketball and the association and then have it pay for itself, We may
be able to set up a fund to mut out a similar book every years "then
the time comes for extra copies, all checks should be made out to the
association. Lend a. hand

I hope you will be able to help, Let me know as soon as
possible,

At : Kindest personal resards and the best of luck.
