Dr, Forrest C. Allen
Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kans,

Dear Dr, Allen:

I am very glad to know that you will write an
article for us, I would like to make this my headliner for
January. The article should be about 1500 words or more for
this first article. Perhaps I had better put it this way. With
advertising as it is, I am limited to money and shouldn't spend
over $25.00. That amount may give you an idea of how much time
you want to put on it. I thought if you could bring out the
new developments of the game, the new offensesSand defenses, etc.,
it would be interesting. Frankly, I don't know basketball as
well as I do football, so I'll have to leave the subject matter
to you. Just had an inquiry for the "shuttle" or "weave" offense.

I have two articles coming from high school
coaches on Why I Use the Zone ences and Beating a as Defense.

If you have an action picture of some game, I
would seainticts it for the front picture. Any other pictures
and diagrams will also help.

Thanking you for your co-operation.

Yours very truly,

Alice K. Griffith,
