July 20, 1944. Lt. David Le Shirk, Ae & BR. Officer, . Headquarters Company, Academic Regiment, Pte Benning, Gae Dear Dave: : I have delayed a little in sending you this information which Mrs. Hulteen garnered from the files. I trust this will be of some benefit to you. You certainly have a sizeable athletic program, and while you may find it a big job, I know from past experiences that you will tear into it with your characteristic vigor, honesty and enthusiag, and will get the job done. We are working on our new Jayhawk Rebounds, so we will try to send you the chatty stuff in the Rebounds. With all good wishes to you and yours, I am Sincerely yours, : Directe of Physical Education, FCA:Ail Varsity Basketball Coach. Enc. HEADQUARTERS COMPANY ACADEMIC REGIMENT FORT BENNING, GEORGIA 28 June 1944 Dr Forrest C Allen, Phys Educ Director, Basketball Voach, University of Kane Dear “Doc” Just a note te let you know that I am receiving the “Rebound” and to say hello. This last "Rebound" that you sent out is really full of NEWS. The best news was that about Harris and -ingleman having baby boyge My wife and I really start talking about our old College days as we read about the different kids that you mentioned in your paper that we use to know. I might say that we really appreciate getting it. I like my assignment, it is just the type of work that I like. There is just one other assignment that I believe I would like better and that is in the “Reconditioning Program". To be in this work you have to be in the Medical Administration branch of the Service and the way things are; tight now it is imposible for an Infantry Officer to transfer to any other branch of the service. The Army has BIG plans for this "Reconditioning Program", This progpam is really going to demand a lot of Physical Education People. I took a trip up to the Station Hospital just to see what i’ is all about and I found out that it is plenty OK. My baseball team just won the Infantry School League by winning 16 out 20 games. We start the next half this Thursday. I have several Big League players on the team as well as a lot of Semi-pro boys that could give the big league boys a run for their money. I do not know t@’much about baseball but these kids are really teaching me the game. I have about S}#HK 3,000 men to maintain an athletic program for and I am finding it a big job. The percentage of participation is very low. I am trying to increase the interest in this Regiment by starting a progrem semilar to the one that Dr Elbel used there at KU. So-- I would like to have you send me some of his mim phed work if you can find it, such as material on Volleyball and touchfootball-any thing I co would appreciate getting, ee I guess that is all for now-- We are ahead in this war so far but it is costing us a lot of boys. Give my best regards to Mrs Allen and do say -— hello to Mrs Hulteen for me. : Respectfully Yours DAVID L SHIRK 2d Lt., Infantry oe A and R Officer.

Dear Dr Allen: I received your copy of the letter which you forwarded to Dr. Bellwood, Flagstaff, Arizone, Thank you for your co-operation, Did not make the grade there, putthat is the way those things go. Since 1940-the summer I finished up my advanced ' degree at Lawrence, I have been on the job teaching. I was two years at Buena Vista, Colorado. And by the way about every place I go the people know of Dr. Allen. I am always proud that I took work in your department. My only regret being that I did not do the work that I did in the regular academic manner--that is get the hours credit which I could have done. But the work that I did was taken under good men and that fact Helps, We are now here in Casa Grande, Arizona. This country out here is, I believe, the coming section of our nation in the future. Ith has been developed considerably but all the talk is of the coming possibilities after the war. That is to say that much more water will be brought into the valleys. We like it out here very much, The winters are jut about ideal; they do not . even have frost. We are just 60 miles from Phoenix, and Tucson, Both very fine cities. We have lost contact with activities around Lawrence, but think often of you folks there. lHven though one does leave his native state it seems still to be home, ' Pin i Bat If you by any chance should come to Arizona for a visit we would be very happy if you would stop for a visit with'us here, Hope that youw work is going on as sucess- fully as ever. Give our regards to the other members of your family. rig oe . Di a nea ape oS Thank you again for all your past favors, maybe I can some day repay just a little the many ways you have helved us.

LAST CALL - Final Opportunity to Receive FREE Register Dear Mr. Allens Never before have we tried harder to get out a paper that would please our readers. We understand just how difficult it is to be enthusiastic about baseball with conditions as they are. It is because of this we have been trying to make our paper breezy, with humor and added other sports. Your subscription has just expired. In this week's issue there are many interesting features. Because of our obligation to service men, THE SPORTING NEWS will con- tinue to be just as interesting as possible. We are now sending 148,000 copies to men in the service and you may depend.upon THE SPORTING NEWS in future months being interesting. In addition to this promise we are making a special offer to you to induce you to renew now by sending free copy of our Baseball Register (FREE), when ready, both for the special price of $6.00, the regular price of a year's subscription. However, you must act quickly, in order to receive a free copy of the Register, because the 1944 edition will be strictly limit- ed, due to the paper shortage. In fact, the 1944 Register is likely to become a collector’s item shortly after publication. Besides up-to-date playing facts and figures on Baseball’s "400," the new Register will contain such great added features as “Rube Waddell - His Life, Laughs and Laurels," "Lou Gehrig - Iron Horse,” and a History of the All-Star Games. May we therefore urge you to act promptly if you want THE SPORT- ING NEWS and a free copy of the 1944 Baseball Register - all for $6! Enclose remittance with this letter, returning in self-address- ed postage paid envelope and we will do the rest. Sincerely yours, CHARLES C. SPINK & SON CRB:fs RUDOL?

Dear Howard: I am returning the pledge cards together with our personal check for $5.00. I have made notations on each one of the cards and I believe they are plainly evident. The only one I did not sign up was Miss Mabel Barnhart who said that she would want to study her bank balance and make a desision later. I did not contact Mr. Warren Zimerman who had made a pledge of $25.00 and Mrs. Young who has given $10.00. I thought they had given a sufficient amount. . Mr. Leo Applegate has no phone so I have written him a letter, carbon copy of which is enclosed. I am asking that he get in with the office and perhaps the church secretary can follow on this. + _ Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. iy aaah lilt ae badd a2 gpa , i i Hi 335 Het Wi 3 eis Sb feet : i Wp tak a 1 i Ha ai Heh HR dune 14, 1944. at the First te church members not had to ther can ine the on larger give it if you will help US» Cracking you fer your coustderation I om Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach.
