Dear Mr. MoGraw:

Durfng your absence I wrote to Mr. H. M. Larsen of the
Treasurer's Office, ordering sixty copies of BETTER BASKETBALL.

Ray Eliot, coach of football at the University of Illinois,
‘Slip Madigen, coach of football at the University of Towa, Vadal Peter-
gon,;,eoach of basketball at the Univers ty. Of. ». bhe, school that
won the National Collegiate andthe diational tation, in Hew York, -
and I headed up the. football ant ketball faculty at the Iowa State
High School Athletic Association Coaching School at Boone, Iowa, on
August 15-19. Bud Parmalee, formerly of the New York Giants, Pie
Trainor, third basemen and former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
and Lew Fonseca, leading hitter of the American League and former
manager of the Chicago White Sox, formed the baseball faculty. Lyle
Quinn, the executive secretary of the Iowa High School Coaching Assoc-
jation, and some of the key coaches asked me for an autographed book —
as a professional courtesy. — ee

We had 250 coaches enrolled a4 Bdone, owa, and 60 of them

asked me to autograph and parcel post the book to them. I take this
as an indication that there are many, many new coaches in the country
today due to the war situation, Therefore, I think that the book will
enjoy a fairly.darge sale if promoted from an advertising standpoint.
