Dear Ollie:

Thank you for your kind letter of November 10th.
I am glad you are interested in my new book, Better Basketball

Incorporating Technique, Tacties and Tales, and am sure you will
find it helpful. I am enclosing a short description of the book |
so that you may know more about its contents. .

In reply to your inquiry regarding films, the

Fastman Kodak Company, of Rochester, Ne Ye, had me film a two-
reel movie for them on the fundamentals of basketball. ‘Most
every wiversity that has an extension division rents this film
for @ nominal sum. The University of Kansas rents it for $3.00
plus postage, and I am sure most of the universities have the
same sort of arrangement. Mrs Fred S» Montgomery is secretary of
our visual instruction division here at the University of Kansase
_If you are wmable to get the film closer than here, I am sure lis
Montgomery will be glad to send you this filme

| Last August Dre He Ce Carlson, of the University of
Pittsburgh, Clair Bee of Long Island University, John Bum of Stan-
ford, George Keogan of Notre Dame, Dave Mcliillen of Minnesota, and
I filmed a movie talkie wider the direction of Chuck Taylor, the
Converse Shoe Company representatives This picture was filmed in
Kansas City. Wilson and Company, of Chicago, the Converse people,
and the Phillips "66" team cooperated in making this film. Chuck
Taylor is now out over the comtry showing this film. The makers
and owmers of the film, Films, Inee, have a representative for —

es However, if you want fundamentals for instructional
and informational purposes, the Zastman film gives the full reel
on individual defense, team defense, individual offense, team
offenses I believe this film covers it more thoroughly than the
work done by the six coaches in showing a part of their offense |
and defenses |

With best wishes for a very successful season, I am
Sincerely yours,
