You will readily understand that we are a group of considerable size, and my Opinion is that we ought to have much more influence than'we have had in the past, end it should be collectively asserted. ‘e hold the most strategic teaching positions in the whole of our school systems As chairman of the Kansas Association of Teachers of Education, I am tremendously interested in seeing to it that we perfect en organization which will have a continuity of purpose, and through our organization as a minority group wield the influence that we should on our education program. We, as you know, have had an organization for a number of years and we hold a meeting on Thursday afternoon at the time of the council of administration. I am of the opinion that these meetings have been of worth to us as a group, but entirely too few of us attend these meetings end our group has not been well organized. We are planning what I hope to be a very helpful program for this meeting at Emporia on Thursday afternoon, February 1, 1945. Ye pla&m to have three committee reports: one, a committee on organization, which I hope willmake proposals for a permanent ond strong organization; second, a committee report on the gosls or purposes of teacher education in our various colleges, in other words, a statement of the philosophy of teacher education; and third, a discussion of some of the criteria which we may use in the selection of the prospective teachers when the time comes to make the use of such criteria possible. I sincerely hope that you will begin to make your plans to attend this meeting. In addition to the regular meeting, we are elso plenning e break- fast meeting on Friday morning, February 2. I will send you a card later end ask you to indicate whether or not you plen to attend this breakfast meeting. Let me as chairman of your group urge you to be present at these two meetings in order that we as a group may work together in formulating more effective plans for the education program in this state.

Dear Dean Seluriering: I sent you the wire yesterday afternoon and immediately went to basketball practice. I was ready to dictate the letter regard- _ ing Elmer Schaake this morning when your phone message came in. However, I atill feel that you might want to know more concerning him than you gieaned from our telephone conversation. Schaske is married, and has a lovely wife and two child- ren. The past two years he has assisted Coach Henry Shenk with our var- sity football team, and this year is assisting mo #iwh basketball. while the University had an ASTP wit here, Schaake taught full time in their physical training program. At the present he teaches the civilian classes in physical conditioning. z * While at the University of Kanass as a student, Elmer Sehaake was a star athlete. In his three years of football at Kansas, he was a member of the Big Six Champions in 1930, 1951 and 1932 he played quarterback, and in 1952 he was captain and all-Big Six selection for this position. He was a member of our championship basketball teams, playing at guard position. The year after he graduated he assisted me with spring practice in basketball, and assisted Coach Lindsay in his spring practice in football. I have found fewsen who possess the innate fundamental ath- letic ability that Schaake possesses. . 3 After his graduation he played one year of professional football under Coach George “Potsy" Clark, when Clark was coaching the Detroit Lions. He was.one of the outstanding players in the professional league that year. He played but one year of professional ball so as to enable him to clear up his college debt. After his professional debut, he coached at Bethany College at Lindsborg, Kansas, where he had unusually fine success. Bethany, being a small denominational school, had difficulty in meeting her financial responsibilities, and Schaake came back to the Lawrence High School where he had a most enviable record, winning a great number of championships before he came to the University as a member of our department when our program was enlarged. Le Schaake is a splendid teacher and an excellent coach. He is one of the cleanest men that I know. He has the happy ability to cooperate in. a most friendly manner with all the members of the athletic staff, the faculty and the administrative officers. He has a genial and pleasing personality, is optimistin in his reactions, and is a splendid - fellow in every particular. He is exceptionally clean, has no bad habits, does not wee profanity, end is a family mn in every sense of Uw word. He is a big fellow, weighs 200 pounds and carries his weight admirably. lie ms a pleasing appearance and his impressions made - on the scomaunity outside of the institution are the very best. He is a nember of the Methodist Church, as is his family, and they attend regul- - arly. He has splendid health, takes his place in the commmity, and bears his honeurs Zracefully. Elmer Schaake is a prime favorite in this eepeneats Sesasing we Yang steed Ss Bile, Sa een eee See oe host .of friends. I am glad to recommend him to you in every way, and I think you would find hin not only a high grade gentleman, a splendid teacher, and a fine citizen, but a man who is intensely loyal in all his relationships and who would give nothing but the finest of service.

Dear Phog: Don's address is -- "Private Donald C. Smith, 17176520, Headquarters Co., Recon. Platoon, 82nd Airborne Division, APO 469, c/o Postmaster, New York, New York." I know he would be glad to be on the list of boys receiving the Jayhawk Rebounds. I hope you will put him on the list and send it to him. If a boy wanted to get lined out for coaching which one of those books would you suggest? It looks to me as though that book by Crisler and Wie- man might be the best one. I don't know what kind of an assignment the little devil has now that gives him time to read these books but I think he is with the Headquarters outfit so he can get his stuff carried alonge Anyway, if he wants a book I am going to get it for him. | I, too, am sorry I didn't get down to the game. We intended to do so but some people from out of town were in and we could not get aWaYe I thought sure I would see you at the Simons' reception but I expect I got lost in the crowd. I get a great kick out of the Simons! family. Dolph is a grand boy and merried a pretty girl. Every one of the Simons! girls is attractive. As a matter of fact, I think Dorothea comes very near being a real beauty, and by that I mean a real beauty. It is a funny thing, she is just as nice as she is beautiful. We never miss a chance of being where they are. They have been our friends through the years. You know Don will have his G. I. money avail- able when he gets out of the army. He is going to weigh about 175 when he comes out and if nothing happens to him he will be able to run 100 yards in about 10 seconds. 7 I sent Walker through Washburn because it seemed the only thing to do with the college r ight across the street from where we live. Don is rather independent though and with his G. I. money he is going to go somewhere else. He may showup down there at-K. U. one of these days. He is a great boy in the pinches, I had the idea when he was coming on that Topeka High School was too big so I sent him out to Washburn Rural. I wish Ihad sent Sharpie out there now. Anyway, if Don does get back-in a year or two you may have him on your hands. I'd like tohave him under your influence anyway. You would like him, You both have some of the same characteristics, that is, Don dislikes stuffed shirts terribly. If he gets through the war without telling:some colonel to go to hell I will be very much relieved. : It is nice to hear from you. Let me know which one of the books you really recommend. WAS:H Yours truly, Mitaul hl November 27, 1944. Honorable Williem A. Smith, Justice, Kansas Supreme Court, - Foye, Konsas. 7 Dear Bill: Please give him my kindest regards and tell him that I will put hin on the list of beys receiving the Jayhawk Rebounds. This list is enlarged many times and I am happy that it is because these letters are going to boys overseas. If you will kindly write me giving me his address T will send him one of the new Rebounds that I aa writing, and if you think he would like to have a copy of the one I am sending a you, although it is rather old, I will be glad to send that along to — : him. ‘Regarding a text on football, there are a number of them that he might be interested ing Ome is “How to Wateh Football", by Lou Little. I believe that would be an entertaining book. Then there is another one, “Practieal Football", by ler and Wieman ($35.00), and "Winning Pootball", by Bernie Bierman ($2.50). You can purchase these books from Lowe & Campbell Athletic Goods Company, 1509 Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. Please write me if I oan be of any service at any time, and rest assured that it was mighty fine to hear from you and to lmow that Donald is interested in reading my book. When you write him give hin my kindest regards and tell him he will hear from me. I saw you at the Simons’ fiftieth wedding anniversary, but somehow you slipped out of sight. I aid not see you at the football game, and maybe it was just as well. ‘That was a tough game to watch all the way through because our boyd did not do themselves justice that day. | With all good wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, ss Diveetor of Physical Education, PCA:AH , Varsity Basketball Coach. ee CHAMBERS OF WILLIAM A. SMITH THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE OF THE STATE OF KANSAS TOPEKA November 24, 1944 Dr. F. G. Allen, c/o Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doctor: We had a letter from Donald, our eighteen-year-old boy, who is in France with the 82nd Airborne Division, which pleased us very mich indeed. There is a reference to you in it - hence this letter. Our boy was quite a basketball star in high school but didn't get to play in college because the war interferred. From the letter we received this morning he is talking about finish- ing school and being a coach. Here is the part which I think might interest you - A year before he finished school we gave him your book on Basketball for a Christmas present. He said in his letter this morning "In my spare time I am going to jot down my ideas about coaching - T wish you would send me my copy of Phog Allen's book on Basketball right away." You may be sure we will get this book on the way to him at once. I thought you might get a kick out of the fact that a boy in a fox hole in France was thinking about your book. It gives me quite a kick too to learn that the lad's ideas are fixed on completing his college course. That's one thing that has worried me. Don wants us to send him a book on Football coaching too. I don't lmow what a good book would be. I wish you would give me some suggestions as to a good book to send him. He wants a book that will give him some ideas about the funda- mentals of coachinge You have met Don I am sure but you may not remember him. He is the little blue- eyed, round-faced boy who wore glasses from the time he was three, I thought this request from a G. I. in France might prove interesting to you. Yours truly, wast Le Noda 4 daa
