(A.S. Barnes, March 15, 1942)
Dust jacket notes: 'The development of the defense is traced from its origin to the present day and the author describes the strength, weakness and the original principles as recommended by the founder of basketball, Dr. James A. Naismith. Particular attention is given to recent developments such as 'pressing,' 'switching,' and other defensive combinations. Attack methods which have been evolved to meet these defensive variations are outlines in detail. The held-ball, center-jump, out-of-bounds, and other auxiliary plays are diagrammed and described. The quick-break and methods of halting the various types are thoroughly discussed. Attacking methods outlined include the post, double post, double pivot, give and go, and screen. It is a complete book on this important phase of basketball essential for a complete understanding of the game."
