Forrest C. Allen, D.O., Director of Division Physical Education and
Athletics and Basketball Coach, University of Kansas, Lawrence,
Kansas.

Basketball Coaching. July 2-9. 4 hours per day. $20

Perhaps no one has a more enviable reputation as a basketball coach
than Dr. Allen. Always interested in sports, Dr. Allen after medical and
osteopathic training became coach of all sports at Missouri State Teachers
College in Warrensburg in 1912. After seven years there he went in 1919
as athletic director of the University of Kansas, which position he still
holds. During his supervision his teams have always been conspicuous for
their clean skilled performance. He continues to hold a position of great
prominence in the collegiate basketball world on account of the number of
his championship teams. He had one series of thirty-four straight con- —
ference victories some years ago, and during the season just closed he has
won his twelfth championship in seventeen years, winning the Big Six
trophy with nine victories and one defeat.

His teaching methods are most admirable and his splendid person-
ality has won him a host of friends among his students. He is returning to
Springfield for his fifth consecutive summer.

Dr. Allen advocates a two men type man to man defense with a three
man shifting zone defense, thus combining the man to man with the zone
scheme in one defensive mechanism. His emphasis is also very strong
upon fundamentals, such as handling of the ball, pivots, stops and proper
shots in different situations.

Treatment of Athletic Injuries. July 2-14. 2 hours per day. $17

The course in Treatment of Athletic Injuries is intended to give
coaches an opportunity for both personal treatment and for qualifying in
helping others. In general it contains the following—1. MANIPULATION.
Upon many occasions a coach is forced to be his own team physician and
trainer. This course aims to give the coaches such knowledge and practi-
cal skill as will render them efficient in handling ‘‘charley horses,” sprains,
contusions, bruises, ‘‘shin splints’? and other acute and chronic injuries
that occur in athletic competition. 2. TaPinc AND BANDAGING. This
stresses a better understanding of the proper anatomical relationships of
the body. It includes practice in the uses of adhesive tape to reinforee and
strengthen joints and ligaments. A knowledge of the origin and insertion
of the muscles is helpful in the taping.
