Dear Doctor Allen:

This will acknowledge your memorandum of May
9th, with regard to Oklahoma A.and M. Swimming Pool Confer-
ence.

We have been receiving information regarding a
number of swimming pool conferences being held this spring.
We have just received one today from Texas and also informa~
tion of one being held in Michigan and one at Purdue Indiana,
and the Illinois conference.

In view of the fact that Mr. Perkins, who is
planning the Oklahoma conference, is a K.U. graduate and
attended our meeting here, I find he has followed the program
given here rather closely.

We appreciate your calling our attention to the
program although a copy had been received directly from Mr.
Perkins.

We will keep all these programs together so we may
have a file if,and when, we consider another meeting.

Very t

Dear Dr.Allen:

Received your letter of April 24th and also the other two
letters two weeks ago. I passed on the letter you asked
me to, to Lou Steimmeyer, but have not heard nor talked to
him since. However, I was very happy to learn on talking
to his sister that he was in Lawrence during the relays,
and that you had seen him.

I also felt very much better when I read your letter saying

that he seemed to be warming up a little bit. The last time

I talked to him he let me know that he would like to go to
Kansas, but he still had that fear, if you please, deep

down in his heart that he was bucking up against too good

@ coach. I assured him that he could never be under anyone
better than our basketball coach at the University of Kansas,

and I also told him that you were not out looking for the man
who was already made, but wanted young men who had pessibilities,
who would cooperate with you.

He is a very conscientious chap, and I am sure if we can get
him up there we can do a lot with him. I will appreciate

it if you will let me hear anything reas about Steinmeyer,
or about anyone else if I may help you. ,

With kindest personal regards, I remain,

- Very ey “_

University of Kansas.
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Phog:

Before | go any farther | am going to ask you a leading question.
When | started to dictate this letter | was stopped by the ques-
tions: “How in the world did that name ever attach itself to Dr.
Allen?® If 1! ever knew | have forgotten and | wish you would tell
me. Perhaps | should address you as Dr. Allen anyway but | never
think of you that way and it really sounds too dignified. Now to
business. ,

| am writing to you in the hope that you may help me in obtaining
some information which | desire to write a story about a former

K. U. athlete, H. N. Arnold, known as "Hi," who | understand at-
tended K. U. around 1913-15. He now is a rancher and extensive
Hereford breeder at Buffalo, Okla., where he operates a 10,000

acre ranch. liy informant tells me that he was a record holder in
the one hundred yard dash at K. U. at one time, was a discus thrower
and broad jumper.

If it is possible for you to have someone give me the information

about Mr. Arnold's career at K. U., at least such parts of it as
can be included in a story concerning him, | shall appreciate it
very much indeed. Mr. Arnold lives. now just across the state

line from another famous athlete, Jesse Harper and ! understand

they get together occasionally for athletic reminiscences. Per-
haps someone else would be the proper person for me to address to
get this information but you are the one | know best and | naturally
thought of yous Bill Hargiss has been at K. U. but a comparatively
short time and perhaps would not know this many even by reputation.

Believe it or not, | haven't seen a basketball same nor attended a
Football game or a K. U. relay in two or three years, not, however,
because of lack of inclination.

With kindest regards, | am,

| ry truly,

ae

Dear Phog:

I have your letter with reference to the Al Wellhausen
note.

If you will recall, we gave them a renewal of this note
for one year dating from July 2, 1938. In view of this
fact, it would be impossible for us to write and request
payments at this time, because the note will not mature
until July of this year. I did tell them when the note
was renewed that we would be glad to accept payments at
any time. However, having renewed it for a period of one
year we are put in a position where we cannot ask or
suggest payments. I am sure that you will understand
this.

With best wishes, I am
