I have been granted access to the building to vractice basketball in it after I get offiwork in the evenings. I am wondering if I could get a basketball from you with which to: practice. I have been getting along fine this summer and hope to be in shape for a good hard season of basketball this winter. My worry over grades is over for the present at least because I made straight A's again last semester. I'll really be able to take the game seriously this fall. \ Thank you very much, Sincerely, Jim Arnold April. 27, 1939. ‘Mire Joka Me Buc! 2sy, Sports Faiter, Atehisea Daily Glebe, Atchison, fonsase Dear lire Buckleys Shieh tins tale seme Suit Wink wild: uk Shee Sed es enclosing clippings regarding my recent vicit to Atchison.s Z enjoyed my short visit there very muche It was a weal pleasure, I-assure youe lth best wishes, I am 7 Director of Physical Education, | PCA sAH Varsity Basketball Coaches HE ATCHISON DAILY GLOB) DINNER TONIGHT. FOR BOY CAGERS| “Phog” Allen, K. U. Coach and ‘Noted Basketball Authority, é Poaceae Speaker About 140 boys are expected to at-} tend the first annual Y.;M. C. A.- Church basketball banquet for team players which will be held this evening at the Methodist church. Dre Fz .C. “Phog” Allen, bas- ketball coach and director of — the| physical education | department at the) 4 University of Kan- sas, will be the prin- cipal. speaker. Dr. Allen is the dean of basketball! coaches in the Uni- f ted States. He has won 22 conference: ' championships in! 2 26 years of basket- pall coaching and was director of the American basketball team entered in the last Olympics at Berlin. ae In 1905 Dr. Allen was playing’ basket- ball with the Kansas City Athletic club when it won three games. straight from the Buffalo Germans, then tour- | ing the country as “world’s cham- pions.” In a game at Independence, | Mo., in 1903, Dr. Allen first met, Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball, and then coach at K. U. The next year Allen entered the university and in the season of..1908) began coaching the Kansas team. | .Dr. Allen was one of the organizers, | and for two years president of the Na- tional Association of Basketball Coach- ;es, and for 10 years has been a mem-| ‘ber of the National Basketball Rules Body. He is chairman of the Olympic committee in both of these organiza- tions, and was largely instrumental in}: obtaining for basketball recognition as} /a contest sport for the 1936 Olympics at|: | A great student of the principles of |basketball, Dr. Allen has frequently, by agreement with opponents, tried out}: under playing conditions modifications of the rules. He has written extensive- ly for sports periodicals and in 1924 published his “Basketball Bible,” which {> had a circulation of 14,000. 1 Outstanding pupils of Dr. Allen, who are now coaches, include Louis Menze, |: Iowa State; Arthur (Dutch) Lonborg, Northwestern; Adolph Rupp, University | jof Kentucky; John Bunn, Stanford university, and Forrest (Frosty) Cox, University of Colorado. 128-BOYS HEAR ‘PHOG” ALLEN Famed Cage Coach Makes Hit With Youngsters at League Banquet Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen, who is the) father of six children and who has} four grandchildren, has a way with youngsters.and kept 128 boys as quiet as the proverbial mouse last night at the Methodist church with a heart-to- heart sports talk that every boy in the world should have heard. Dr. Allen, who is head basketball coach and director of the physical de- || partment at Kansas university, spoke at the first annual banquet for players in the Y. M. GC. A.-Church league at |; ithe Methodist church, | The dinner began at 6:30 o’clock and idue to an extensive program Dr, Allen did not begin to speak until after 8:30. By that time the boys were somewhat tired of sitting still and—like all boys— were about as quiet as a bowl full of gelatine being held by a\ man with palsy. However, Dr, Allen gained the. attention of his young audience from the outset and held it for the entire time he spoke. Every adult present was greatly surprised at the apparent ease with which the speaker seemed | to charm his listeners. ‘Dr. Allen developed his theme around the lives of Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, and Glenn Cun- ningham, the greatest miler the world has ever known. Dr. Allen has been associated with both men at Kansas university for years and knows the in- side stories of their early hardships and trials. He told how an uncle, who was a poor man, reared Dr, Naismith in Can- |. ada. Both made the greatest sacri- || fices that young Naismith might have || an education. It was in Springfield, || Mass., that Dr. Naismith invented the || game of basketball. Dr. Naismith is || now 77 years old and has lived to see 18 million people playing basketball || each year throughout the world. | Dr. Allen related how as a child Glenn Cunningham was severely burn- ;ed on the legs in a fire that took the \life of an older brother and of the 'great handicap that scar tissue on “his legs had been to him in becoming a world’s champion runner. Neverthe- less he attained his goal. “Willingness to make sacrifices, to work hard, to use will power and to persevere are as important to building courage and a champion as exercise and wholseome food are to building muscles and a strong body,” declared Dr. Allen. Other speakers included George Cleland, chairman of the boys’ work committee of the Y, and Merwin H. Rector, Y. M. C. A. program director for young men and boys. Ralph Fletcher led the community singing and Elbert Van Osdol of St. |. Joe gave a very interesting magic per- formance. The invocation was - by the Rev. Matthew Hall, O. S. B., and the benediction by the ee E., E, Tillot- son, Carl Brown acted ’ master of cer- emoaies. a Plaques” were wierd” to ie win- ner the two divisions of the league. the | intermediate division — firsi ee was won by the First Methodist. church and second place by St. Mark’s ‘Lutheran church. In the junior divi- jsion St. Mark’s placed first and the]. {First Presbyterian church second. ‘ | All but 12 of the 140 boys eligible to attend the banquet were present. GENE A. HOWE CARL J. G.

Our Mr. Joe A. Riley called to see you personally on March 15 put you were out at that time, however, he did have an opportunity to have a personal visit with Mr.C.G.Bayles, Supt. of Buildings and Grounds for the University and has requested that we forward to Mr. Bayles at no charge, one gallon of Stera-Futz for your thorough test and inspection. This is being done and we will appreciate your giving it a thorough consideration. It is our pleasure at the present time to be serving the University of Kansas with our Adeo liquid toilet soap which we know you will find extremely satisfactory in every particular, as all of our products are backed by our 30 years of chemical menufacturing experience. We will appreciate very much your taking this matter up with Mr.Bayles and especially your thorough testing of our product; it is entirely new, there is nothing similar to it on the American market. It is odorless and absolutely stable which gives it many advantages over the old chlorine solutions which have been used for Athlete Foot in the past. If we may cooperate in any way further in this regard we trust you will not hesitate to call on us and we enclose a handy return envelope for your conveinence, With all best wishes of this office, we remain, Sincerely yours, RICAN DIST WG CO.INC rf A CMV K JAR Oetober 12, 1938. lire dolm Ts Andrews, Kansas Public Service Coe, Lewrence, Kensas.

You very ably speak the language of those thus informed, truth peing after all nothing more than facts revealed. The situation is analagous to the prohibition era in the average town. Inquiry could be made with the best of inquisitorial technique in certain quarters regarding the purchase of a pint or so, and, with honest belief, you would find out beyond a doubt that it was a bone dry town--"the situation is well in hand in our tom." Shift to other quarters of the same town among kindred spirits and you soon found the grapevine and the grape. Not infrequently some branch of the law itself proved to be your quickest and best entre'. I appreciate indeed your frank and honest approach to the sub- ject and feel that I, too, know something about it. In another article I hope you will mention the use of athletic funds for the erection of build- ings for the academic departments by some of the country's scholastic insti- tutions favorably located in respect to large annual attendance to their athletic activities. You know if a man has never been hit, roughed or bruised, he is hardly qualified to talk about a fight, or, for that matter, judge the game. A predominance of these timid, sheltered souls sit im spokesmen positions. Their vain egotism blinds them to any other qualifications with which a man might be endowed or which circumstances may develop. The game develops among its members an expectancy of greater perspective in others affiliated with ite We certainly are far amiss many times in our expectations. You know my wholehearted concurrence in your thoughts. Athletics develop inexpressible and life long forces within the average athlete that just aren't produced otherwise. When reason supplants the counterfeit logic that at present sur- rounds the athletic structure, I am sure that no sensible person will be able to say "no" to its program. How fine it would be to get the following picture Dr. F. C. Allen -2- 10/1/38 across to certain ones as it was so beautifully put once by Theodore Roosevelt. He said: "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better; the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms and great de- votions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievements, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
