Young Sportsman's Guide to Basketball George A. Cella

George Cella was a fine all-round athlete at his native Hack-ensack, New Jersey, High School and, at Springfield College, where he excelled in basketball and baseball. After graduation, his batting power and great throwing arm won him a Red Sox baseball contract. Despite an excellent minor league record, he had to relinquish his baseball career due to a knee injury, and turn to the teaching and coaching profession. Coach Cella's book on basketball techniques is sound, workable, and based on actual success. His book makes good reading for anyone interested in basketball.
