THE ZéC “PHOG” ALLEN OFFICIAL BASKET BALL

Valve Type—Double Lace—Double Lined—Balanced

No. 202—The ‘‘Phog’’ Allen basket ball is the direct result of
our own manufacturing ideas coupled with the experience and
advice of this famous coach. Dr. Allen advocates the use of a
ball with a lace—there is an actual advantage, he says, in
such a ball and he readily demonstrates the value of this lace
in passing and free-throwing. His teams have won six suc-
cessive Missouri Valley Championships and he is unquestionably
one of the outstanding coaches of the country. This ball has
had a thorough try-out and was adopted and used successfully
in the 1927 National A. A. U. Championships. It is a valve type
ball of the highest quality pebbled grain leather with the famous
two-ply or double canvas lining, a positive assurance against
stretching and a guarantee of durability. The valve is located
opposite the lace, giving perfect balance, and is countersunk so
that there is no dead spot at this point. A black and red double
lace of leather is a distinctive feature used only in this ball.
The construction is such that this lace is not prominent enough
to cause variations in speed and direction of rebounds. This
double lace—patented—brings the lips of the opening together
evenly and perfectly so there is no cross pull as in the single
lace. The ball comes ready laced and can be inflated or de-
flated through the valve in a few moments. Thirteen pounds

Holds Its Shape and Excels in Durability

No. 200—This ball has been our leader for several years and
still would be except for the advent of the valve bladder. Many
coaches still prefer the old style stem bladder and the recula-
tion rawhide lace as used in the ball. It is the same quality as
the No. 202 above and is official in every sense of the word
It comes complete with best grade bladder, rawhide lace and

kind can be produced at considerably less than the usual “offi-
cial price.” It is made of the best quality pebble grain leather
and we do not hesitate to recommend it for general use and to
urge its adoption especially as a practice ball. Complete with
