Allen Department of Physical Education Campus Dear Phog: I will be at the Chicago meeting with you. We will have a phonograph record greeting from the Chancellor who will have something to say about the reorganization of the University for war purposes. However, I wish you would put in a plug regarding the Alumi Loan Scholarships for Freshmene This plan was con- ceived by Dutch Wedell. It is similar to what the University of California Alumi Association is doing. We are pushing it because almost all loans and scholarships are for upper class- mene We recognize that is good educational policy because a freshmen should prove his worth. However, there are many excellent freshmen who need help to start. The plan is that local alumi groups in Kansas each have the right to nominate a student for this award. The local group puts up $50 Qswe match that $50 with a similar amount from the central fund. We want the out of state alumi to put up the central fund. The Chicago alumi have already contributed over $300 to this end we want to keep them going. A mimeographed statement regarding the fund is enclosed. yr By the way, at what hotel are you keeping the team or es a end what rates do you pay? 1 went to stay overnight in Chicago eo” Friday night, January 30, and want to get a good rate. h oe Cordially, Grup i.

We have tentatively scheduled baseball games with Oklahoma to be played here on May 15 and 16. However, we are not certain that we will carry through a base- ball program this spring. This matter should be settled within the next two or three weeks, and at that time I would be in a better position to give you a definite answer. What do you suggest in the way of transportation? Since the restriction has been placed upon tires, I have been riding my bicycle, but I do not believe I would want to ride it as far as Dwight!

I beg to state that there will be a section of the “Knot-hole Gang” for the Missouri game for 257. This is open to Junior high end high school boys. It is necessary that each one of the high school boys have their 25¢ ready in change so that time will be saved at the Athletic Office. This is to facilitate the movement of the large group who come about game time. in regard to my conversation with Mr. Merten Pettey. last Tuesday evening I told him that I would be gled to speak to your group on the evening of November 22. I asked him to write me so that I could check on my dates. ‘The State of Kansas provides no finances or traveling expenses for us when we go out as geakers. I drive a Buick automobile and find that I cannot operate the car for less than 6¢ per mile. If you would be willing to pay this transportation charge I would be gled to come. I am sure that you can appreciate that with the mary calls thet I get to speak, this item would run into _ quite some amount, and for that reason it is necessary that these - expenses be taken care of. Will you kindly write me and inform me if this is agreeable to you under this condition? Sincerely, .
