MORRISON, Gertrude
The Girls of Central High at Basketball
NY, Grosset & Dunlap, (1914). The third book in the pseudonymously written Girls at Central High series, which here combines game play with a "Great Gymnasium Mystery." One of the earliest novels to feature women's basketball (following only the Grace Harlowe High School series), and the first to feature the game prominently. Owner name and address to flyleaf; mild foxing to endpages and boards; very good in a very good dust jacket with staining to the spine but rousing jacket art of a basketball game in progress (which differs from the generic series artwork on the boards).
