December 5, 1944.

Mr. Richard Allen,
9839 Winner Road, :
Independence, Mo. ;

Dear Dick:

I have thought a good deal of the possibility of your
coming to the University of Kansas, and I assure you I would be de-
lighted to have you here. However, at your age of 16 I believe that
certainly a year of junior college would give you some maturing that
would be helpful to you when you come to the University.

The fact that you are so terribly young to enter as a
freshman at K.U. would work against you in athleties where older men
naturally form the majority of the athletes. Then if you have your
freshman year, it would bring you up to 18 and I think you would have
a wuch better chance. | 7 :

Of course, this is only an aside to the main thing that
you come to the University for, but boys rather magnify that in their
om minds. I am delighted that you are making such fine grades and
I want you to continue to do thet because after all that is the pay
off in the long run.

| : You see, you wuld have to take pre-Law work anyhow,
and that would permit you to compete in athletics in your undergrad-
uate work. The Law School is very stiff here and when you get into
thet you will have little time for athletics. Law and Medicine are
tougher even than the Engineering course, which is a five-year course

i

We will have some tickets for you for the Rockhurst |
game at the Municipal Auditorium, as well as for the other games if
you ean attend. Let me know if you and your mother oan go, and in
whose name I should leave then. We also play games there on the 22nd
and 25rd of December, and I will be glad to fix you up. After the
game I would be glad to talk with you, if you and your mother come
in. i

Very sincerely yours,

Varsity Basketball Coach.

 
Desenber 5, 1944.

Dear Stella:

I want you to know I am happy to have a letter
from you and Dick. If there is anything that I can do for
either of you, you can rest assured it will be a pleasure.

ft veally <hink Dick is a little young for his
own happiness so far as athletics are concerned here.
a - would be helpful
in the matter of maturation.

Write mz and let me know what you think. ‘Tan
sure that Dick haa a level enough head to get along in nice
shape, but you can court on my guidance and support in every
possible way. 3

Dear lyle:

Thank you for the Commissioning Frogram brochure.
Congratulations to you. Mrs. Allen and I appreciate
your sending this. I know how proud you boys must be
of the Telfair.

Mrs. Allen and I sat back of Lyle, Jr., at the Kansas-
Nebraska football game, and was he going to town! It is
worth the price of admission to see these youngsters
really get énthused when the old alma mammy steps on
Nebraska. .

I'll be sending you a Rebounds soon.

Sincere ly yours,

Diresotor of Physical Education, .

Dear Coach Adkisson:

Thank yoR for your letter of the 26th instant.
I wish to refer you to my text, "Better Basketball",
which I wrote in 1937 to answer just such questions as
yours. In 1924 I wrete “My Basketball Bible", which is
now out of print, and in 1927 wrote this newer, more
up-to-date book to answer the many coaches who would
write in to me about their coaching problems.

Glad you liked my article in the Seal-0-San
Coaches Digest.

Very sincerely yours,

Lewrence, Kansas.

 

Dear Bobs

ae tere are some of the things that would be helpful in your
job as assistant in the basketball room.

I would have two bags for the bails so they are easily
carried. I would suggest to the boys that their laundry sould be
changed most any time that it is soiled, but I would use my judgment
in hendling the matter. Some fellows want a change every day, which
is not necessary, and others neglest it. By handling these boys you
will soon learn how to balance the situation. The practice shirts
should be laundered at least once a week. I have talked to Iir. Dean
Nesmith and he will get some extra shirts so that we will have plenty

to practice aa while the others are being laundered.

There are hooks on the south wall that we will place ad-
hesive name-plates under for the boys to hang their clothes on, but we _
— i a ee ee so enn not be necessary to do
that.

, I would got a large freo throw chart by drawing lines
end squerc on it for the days. I will explain this to you when I talk
with you. .

The windows on the north side of the gymnasium should
all be open, but the windows on the south and the doors should be kept
shut and the windows pushed up so that shafts of sunlight do not strike
the players in the face. Also there should be about 35 folding chairs
piled in the southeast corner for the boys to sit on during the time

they are not sorimaging.

It is always well to have at least three or four or a
half dozen towels in the bag so that the boys may wipe their faces.

Also, if there is anyone ruming on the treck while I am
coaching, if you will kindly tell them that Dr. Allen cannot coach with
that noise going on, I will appreciate it. Keep anybody from rumning on
the track and keep small boys from bringing basketballs up and shooting —

goals while we are soaching.
2 These are som of the things, and others I will talk to
you about. i) :
