Dear Dr, Allen:

I was glad to receive your letter the other
day and I want to say that I found your book extreme-
ly interesting and helpful to me this season. I am
sure that it is the best book on basketball that has
ever been on the market. We did not use the zone
defense as I planned, because I found that my guards
did not have the heichth, particularly after we lost
our 6'" center. We used your offense some, early in
the season,but found that wetk the seniors we had
were better fitted to use our old stuff. We tied
for third in our Leasue. Our greatest victory was
over Syracuse, an exceptionally good team.

I will be in Chicago at the meeting and will
enjoy talking with you at that time. Congratulations
to you for your championship team and thanking you for
your many favors in the past, I remain

Sincerely yours,

bof Mott

J. H, Rowland .
