Dear Lieutenant Collins:

Your letter of December 19th has been re-
ceived during Dr. Allen's absence from the office. He
left fuesday noon, December 22nd, with the basketball
teem for their Eastern trip. They are playing in
Buffalo, New York City, Philadelphia and St. Louis, and
expect to return to the University on January 2nd.

I believe that you would be very much interested
in Dr. Allen's text, “Better Basketball”, which describes
fully his technique. I+t is profusely illustrated with
photographs and diagrams of plays. The book is published
' ‘by McGraw-Hill and Company, and sells for $4.00. I am sure

- that if you desire an autographed oopy Dr. Allen will be
glad to send it to you postpaid on ‘roveipt of your check
or money order for $4.

Dr. Allen will be happy to see your letter when
he returns to the office.

Sincerely yours,

Secretary to Dr. Forrest ©. Allen.
