Hillyard Basketball Library

The Hillyard"Shine-Alls" of St. Josephs, Mo. were national AAU Champions in 1926-27. They were coached by George W. Levis from 1924-28. The Hillyard Basketball Library was begun in December, 1928 and continued through 1930 when the last of 8 pamphlets, How to Witness a Basketball Game, was completed. Thereafter in 1931, Mr. N.S. Hillyard, the president of Hillyard Chemical Company, decided that the 8 pamphlets should be combined into one booklet and then updated. George W. Levis did that re-consolidation in honor of Mr. Hillyard. The 8 pamphlets are very low budget, with booklet covers even varying slightly between printing. These are pretty rare booklets and I expect that there weren't too many that made it through the years without damage. I am missing one pamphlet. Indications are that it is called 10 Tip-Off Plays.
