Dear Miss Johnston 3

Your very interesting inquiry of the 28th instant
finds me without such prints or photographs as you esk fore

Three or four years «go, I photographed for the
restmean Kodek Company, “ochester, New York, a two reel film
on the subject "The Fundamentals of Basketball" for their
Classroom Teaching Films Division.

We uced Dre Naismith, the originator of the game of
pasketball, in this picture, and we photographed boys both in
slow motion and in game competitive drill. You doubtless recall
thet Dr. Neismith came to the University of Kansas in 1698 end
wes with us until his desth a yeer ago lest November. I would
suggest thet you write to Mire se He Maddock of the Eastman Kodak
Company, telling him whet you want, and I believe that their
firm may have their New York office show this film to you through
their courtesy. I believe there are some movements in it thet
will prove what you want, thet is, if I understand thet you went
something to be used to illustrate a series of motions in pleying
the game@.

If you want something to illustrate an athletic story,
then, of course, I think there are many snapshots thet you could
get in the Gardene You could probably have an inexhaustible supply
by contacting Ned Irishe

If I have not given you the information you desire, please
write me again and I will cooperate with you to the fullest extente

With all good wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

FCA:ig:min Director of Physical Education and Recreation
