TRADE DEPARTMENT SECRETARY & ASST. TREASURER December 1 5 oe 8 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas — Dear Dr. Allen: I hasten to acknowledge your letter of November 28. I am sorry that my letter of November 10 was not complete enough in that it omitted to tell you about your suggested letter to go out to high school coaches ~ in Kansas, The experiment is now in the works with the School Department campaign to some 10,000 which I mentioned-in my last letter. I am sending you proofs of that campaign which will be mailed together with the special campaign to Kansas coaches. The proof of thet latter campaign had already been returned to the manufacturer so [I cannot forward a proof until the finished job is complete. I will, however, mail that to you at an early date. In the School Department letter you will note that they do meke the suggestion that the librarian of the school will want to provide at least one copy of BETTER BASKETBALL for each coach, player, etc. For the special campaign we are using your exact letter together with a circular and order card. I will also let you know the results or returns on that special campaign. Without checking into the matter, I do not know whether I have told you previously or not, but this fall has been a particularly bad mail order time for the sale of books. This is not only our experience but the experience of all publishers with whom I have talked. This has been so even though our mail promotion McGraw-Hitt Book Company-INc. o Dr. Forrest C. Allen = , pate 12/1/38 has been as heavy, if not heavier than ever before. Over two million pieces of mail order promotion have gone out this fall and the results have been very discouraging as opposed to good results in other falls. I have said all the above for there are times when books do not sell whether they have the competition of other books or not.: Present day times, too, are not comparable to conditions when you published the "Basketball Bible". There is, of course, more interest in basketball than ever before but at the time you published the "Basketball Bible", I am not sure that the competition or the conditions are at all compsrable with today. You, of course, being 42 great enthusiast and very close to the field, see as you move around where sales could be made here or there. To solicit personally is, of course, impossible on any commercial _ basis and it seems to me that the promotion efforts we have made, which include much advertising and many thousands of circulars, really shows we are giving the book every chance. We are sorry you are disappointed in the sale but in times such as the present, we consider them quite good. For the first three weeks in November, almost 200 more copies have been sold so that the total for the first year to date is approxi- mately 5,000. The sales for the next three months we hope will continue at the same or better rate. What your first year sales of the "Basketball Bible" were I do not know, but everything considered, it is a good record and I would challenge anyone to do better today. We naturally want our authors satisfied but we cannot do the impossible. Sincerely yours, McGraAw-HiLt Book COMPANY: ING. " ® McGRAW-HILL BUILDING 330 WEST 42nn STREET NEW YORK,N-Y.

Vaughan, Head Coach, Princeton University, with the collaboration of Holcomb York, formerly Head Coach, Yale University This book, the first comprehensive study of hockey ever made, makes available for spectator, player, writer, coach, the "inside knowledge" of this thrilling sport. With its wealth of diagrams and figures made directly from motion picture prints, it shows clearly the mechanics of stick-handling, shooting, body checking, and other movements in. the game. For the man in the gallery, it presents a bird's-eye view of the fundamental offensive and de- fensive strategies involved in winning hockey. Master coaching methods for training, tactics, and the ~ physical and mental , factors of better basketball —a complete, detailed manual for coaches, players, trainers, and managers BETTER BASKETBALL By FORREST C. ALLEN Director of Physical Education and Head Basketball Coach, University of Kansas 482 pages, 6x9, fully illustrated, $4.00 ©) 163 photographs graphically illustrate the individual offense, the individual defense, the team offense and the team defense. 86 diagrams depict game forma- tions and augment the author’s clarifying discus- sions of many confusing and technical points. Technique, Tactics and Tales AST guide for teaching and developing basketball technique, together with a complete discussion of how the game should be played. The author explains graphically the most advanced develop- ments of the game, and through copious use of diagrams and photographs makes clear every detail of individual and team play. Technique Individual technique.and individual training are stressed, as the fundamentals upon which the success of every team is based. Each move- ment that a skilled player must execute is presented in detail. The author also describes a series of “skill movements,” or drills, by means of which the fundamentals of play may be taught to groups without each player handling the ball. These will be of special value to high school and junior high school coaches. . Tactics The full treatment of tactics involves discussion of such topics as how to work successfully through a zone defense, including both “set” plays from scrimmage formation and out-of-bounds plays. The author gives thirty-four “set” plays against the man-for-man defense, and many out- of-bounds plays. There is a full chapter on methods of “screening,” explaining just how and when to execute these plays to the utmost advantage. Tales Stories of actual games show how contests have been won by the use of applied psychology. These stories are full of human details that illustrate the kind of psychological strategy which causes men to outdo themselves and upset unfavorable scores and adverse conditions. Special Features A comprehensive, well-illustrated chapter on the treatment of athletic injuries explains to the coach-trainer how to keep his players in the game. The book also goes into the subject of pre-game and between-game activity and shows possibilities for drawing patrons to the games. In short, Better Basketball is a complete treatment, incorporating everything that a player, coach, official, trainer, or manager of a team needs to know about his own phase of the game, and to win more games.

Formerly Professional at Chislehurst Golf Club, Kent, England and INNIS BROWN Golf Commentator and Formerly Managing Editor, The American Golfer Whittlesey House Publication, 150 pages, 51< x 8, illustrated, $2.00 : ea Jones says: “‘Good golf is easy to play and it is regret- table that so many persons who play at golf make such a labor of it.” His book will help the great army of laborers at golf to become players. Over a period of more than twenty years, Jones has taught thousands of golfers, from national champions down to the rankest duffers. He has taken new pupils taking up the game at 60 years and beyond, and brought them to playing consistently in the low 80’s in less than a year’s time. The results he gets come from his system of releasing the student from negative principles and numerous rulés: “He has’ but. one’ message: “The swing’s the thing—get that right and you can forget everything else!” Stop worrying, and play golf Many golfers flounder around in the midst of dozens of do’s and don’ts. Their stroke, which takes but a moment to perform, is hindered by their trying to remember a number of separate rules and cautions during that time. Even a first rank player would perform terribly under such a handicap. Instead, he can, and does, think of- only one thing at a time, when actually playing a stroke— hitting the ball. Under fones’ method of teaching, everything is subordinated to this central idea of concentrating on what the player is doing with the club head, through his sense of touch or feeling. He shows you in detail how to “swing the ciub head,” how to have control of the club head through the hands and fingers. Now you can have the next best thing to Jones’ personal instruction in applying this positive principle. His system—his manner of teaching— the single, simple principle—is brought out fully in text and diagram in this book. Read it, and take strokes off your score.

EACH: SECRETARY. & ASST. TREASURER December 13 i: 3 =o 8 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: As promised in previous correspondence, I am enclosing herewith a sample of the special campaign which went out to the Kensas list which you furnished us. This has just been mailed and we will keep track of the orders received. I should tell you also that the School Department campaign of 10,000 was mailed last week and a goodly amount of orders are starting to arrive. In fact, yesterday the returns were around 60 copies. We very much hope that this indicates that sales by mail order are starting to improve. You will remember that I told you in an earlier letter that mail order in general throughout the country has been very poor all this Fall. Con- sequently, we delayed a lot of the campaigns which we had planned. I think we were wise in this, par- ticularly in the light of the fact that the campaign of 10,000 circulars on BETTER BASKETBALL which our College Department sent out early in October was a complete flop. As you well know, it is mighty p difficult to buck a falling market. While writing this, your letter of December 8 has arrived and I think the above fairly well answers everything you mention and I think I have discussed most of your points in previous letters as well. Please do not worry. We are watching the situation carefully and your book is getting every McGRAw-HILL Book GCOMPANY: ING. “ ro Dr. Forrest C. Allen PAGE 2 pate «- 12/13/38 attention. Naturally, present day conditions are not everything we would like so consequently we can only do the best we can in any situation. With kindest regards, — Sincerely yours, Ps. What is the latest information concerning the proposed book on Injuries? CWM : MK C.W.M. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION To the Basketball Coach —- Your success as a coach depends upon your acquiring the latest methods in fundamentals and play execution. Doubtless you have heard of my new source book on basketball, entitled BETTER BASKETBALL, in which Technic, Tactics and Tales predominate. I am wondering if we are using the latest and most improved methods of teaching this game of basketball. If many teachers of history, English and mathematics resorted to the old time method of teaching, in which the instruc-— tor had access to the only book in the class, then I am wondering just how much we would learn. The libraries are filled with reference and source books of all kinds to which the instructor refers the students for sources of study so that the student may get a well-rounded education. Why is it not logical then that your school library obtain the best text available on basketball for your basketball players? There is no good reason to expect that a coach be forced to purchase these books. Every school has a library fund, and it is thinkable to me that you should ask your library to purchase one or more copies of BETTER BASKETBALL for the use of your students. I might add that our own Lawrence Memorial High School purchased four copies of the book for their school library. Mr. Neal Wherry, the principal, writes as follows: "The first day the books were in the library the librarian reported that they had been worth what they cost because one of her most troublesome boy customers had been reading in one of them and kept quiet. Our head English teacher has approved the book for use in English classes. "Besides containing plenty of good technical information, with numerous drawings and pictures, the book abounds in good psychology. Especially to be commended to the high school students are the eight game short stories. "We are very enthusiastic about the book and think that the teachers and students of any high school should be." This exhaustive volume on basketball contains everything that a player, a coach and a trainer should know. When any player is not up to par on his fun- damentals the coach could assign certain chapters or parts of chapters to this (over) ie Bae individual for further study. BETTER BASKETBALL is just twice as good as MY BASKETBALL BIBLE, and it is 13 years newer. It is published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, and is available at all sporting goods houses. Why not let Lowe and Campbell, or some other sporting goods house, supply your library early this fall? I have put everything into this book that I use and that I used this past year and expect to use this coming year. Yours for winning success, FCA: AH Director of Physical Education > R-368 a : Varsity Basket ball Coach BETTER BASKETBALL Technique, Tactics and Tales By FoRREST C. “PHOG” ALLEN Director of Physical Education and Coach of Basketball, University of Kansas ERE is a comprehensive and thorough manual that incor- H porates many helpful facts for the player, trainer- manager, or official, in his own phases of the game, that gives the coach a complete methodology for developing every factor of team and individual skill, and that interprets the spirit and technique of basketball in an interesting and informative way for every follower of the game. The author explains graphically the most advanced developments of the game, and through copious use of diagrams and photographs makes. clear every detail of individual and team play. Offense and defense, both team and individual, are exhaus- tively treated. Individual and team technique and training also are fully covered, and all these pointers are coordinated in game and play formations of many types. Besides the full treatment of the technique of the game, the author covers all other departments, from suggestions for officials and managers, to the important duties of the trainer. An entire section is devoted to the treatment of athletic injuries; shows actual tapings, bandages, and braces; outlines emergency measures; covers diet and conditioning; gives scores of valuable pointers for quickly restoring players to condition and keeping them in the game. A special feature of the book is the group of tales of actual games, showing how contests have been won by the use of applied psychol- ogy. These true stories are full of human details that illus- . trate the kind of psychological strategy which causes men to outdo themselves and upset unfavorable scores and adverse conditions. 163 photographs graphically illustrate the individual offense, the individual defense, the team offense and . the team defense. 86 diagrams depict game forma- tions and augment the author’s clarifying discus- sions of many confusing and technical points. ~ CON AMP W HL 14.

I plan to be away the first week in May but Kelly and Egner will look after you. 7 As pointed out before, with all the advertising and many thousands of circulars which have gone out on BETTER BASKETBALL over the past year, the market should be pretty well covered. However, there are a high percentage of people who never read advertisements or books even though they talk a lot about such things. However, your idea for an attack from a different angle may have merit. Sincerely yours, MARTIN M. FOSS jt VICE PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT AND TREASURER SECRETARY. & ASST.

BUS 8 Ser cir May 5th Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I hardly know how to answer your letter of April 27, for after so many letters on my part concerning the sales record of BETTER BASKETBALL, you still overlook them and also have the feeling that sales should have been better. You also intimate that the so-called scarcity of sales is due to lack of promotion. I am not going back again and enumerate all the various amounts of promotion that the book has already had. May I say that it has had much more than the average of our books and we still feel the record of sales of 3,554 copies to May 1, in a little more than a year, is very satisfactory. In your feeling you are not taking into account the difference in times between now and fifteen years ago. You are also not taking into account all the competition of other basketball pooks which are on the market now and were not on the market when your BASKETBALL BIBLE was published. High priced book units do not sell as well today as they did when the BASKETBALL BIBLE was published and there are many other factors which you apparently refuse to accept. Hence, my reaction at the moment is that I wish we had never published the book, for we do not want unsatisfactory and disappointing relationships. I honestly doubt whether you alone or any other publisher could have made as good a record, and I doubt whether the amount of money on promotion would have been spent. McGrRAw-HILL BooK COMPANY: ING. . tro Dr. Forrest C. Allen PAGE —e- pate 5/5/39 You mention that the foreign situation has everybody jittery, and that situation is one of the major troubles with not only the sales of your book but all other books and the book industry as well, to say nothing of sales of other products. In other words, you seem to recognize a situation which can affect everything except your own book. Therefore, let us drop the matter of my athletic injuries suggestion, for we would not want you to undertake anything else in which you will not be satisfied.

TRADE DEPARTMENT November 135 19 o 9 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have your letter of November 9 and have discussed it with our Sales Department. I think I have told you before that we do not believe there has ever been a book published whereby everybody, even in the field of the book, knows about it. A great many people just do not read or notice much which is going on around them. We cannot change these habits and naturally we or any other publisher cannot be expected to call on every individual who might be interested in a book. BETTER BASKETBALL has and is receiving every attention possible within reason. First of all, we have been over the list twice of every purchaser of the BASKETBALL BIBLE and we have also sent circulars to all the subscribers to "Athletic Journal" and "Scholastic Coach" on several occasions, We have sent out on two occasions, circulars to our special sports book purchasing list which total over 10,000. Little stuffer circulars have been tucked in all kinds of mail going out as well. Every high school and college library, as well as departments of education themselves, have received circulars on numerous occasions. We also have probably had at least a dozen advertisements of the book too. I would not doubt but that circulars of the book have been in at least 200,000 pieces of mail. Outside of the school and college field as above, our trade or general bookstore salesmen have McGrRAw-HILt Book COMPANY: ING. To Dr. Forrest C. Allen — Se ; pate 11/13/39 mentioned it on every trip since the book was published in covering the general bookstores of the country. They have also written to every sportings goods house, sending circulars as well, of which they have a list. Even with all the above, we are actually not going to catch everybody who might be a prospective purchaser. It would seem to me that the promotion coverage has and is being accomplished as well as it is humanly possible to cover it.in a reasonably economical way, and the promotion will be continued. | I have mentioned to you before the reasons why such a book cannot sell as well in these times as fifteen years ago, but the results have been and will continue to be respectable and it is our feeling that the book has received every attention. Naturally, coaches are the primary market but we cannot call on every one. We have mailed many circulars to every coach who is on any available list, but we cannot make all of them read their mail.
