TRADE DEPARTMENT SECRETARY & ASST. TREASURER september 30, 1937. Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas © —_ BETTER BASKETBALL Dear Dr. Allen: By the time this letter arrives, you will un- doubtedly have received Mr. Gartner's letter of September 29th,and all proofs of the half tone en- gravings - Exhibits - accompanied by the photographs. f think that you will agree that these engravings are quite satisfactory both as to size of the finished cut, and in so far as is concerned the portions included. You Know, of course, that we eliminated unnecessary portions in so far as possible in order to keep down to a minimum the total number of pages of the book. I do not believe that you will find much to criticize, but you know, of course, that if you have any criti- cism to make, we are quite willing to listen to your comments,and if necessary, will make over any il- lustrations that you think might be improved. Please, therefore, return the photographs to us with the cut dummies when these are returned with the corresponding galley proofs for page makeup. The printer reports that the book will have a total of 127 galley proofs and, including yesterday's Shipment, fifty of these have now gone forward to you. Lt am expecting, of course, that you will return the cor- rected galley proofs and the corresponding manuscript pages,as well as the cut dummies of the illustrations in 11 installments,so that we may be proceeding with the correction and page makeup of the earlier galleys while you are reading the later ones. : in examining the galley proofs this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to know that the first diagram is not to be inserted until galley 49. Since we have now sent you all of the proofs of the exhibits, you Should be in a position to return the earlier galleys
