Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: I received your letter of May 17, explaining your plans for a coaching school this summer and am very intrested. I bought a copy of your book, "Better Basketball", at the beginning of this season as I have always been more or less an ardent fan of yours. I have studied your book thouroughly as I did your "Basketball Bible" before this addition and learn something new with every reading. Although I coach girls I have always used boys tactics and have had very good results, although I am in need of some advice concerning a four man zone defense and an offense to break up a four man gone. As you might know we use the womens A-A.U. rules using a roving guard which gives a different setup to work from than most attacks. However I will discuss it more in detail when I come to your school. Please let me know by return mail when I should be there and what the tuition will be. Would also know where it would be convenient for me to stay while in Lawrence and approximate cost ) of board end room. eo re - Thanking you for your information and hopeing to see ‘na study with you soon,I am "Dae.
