NORMAL SPEED: Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen: We're speaking to you this afternoon from the roof of the grandstand at old Pimlico in Baltimore, Maryland. The date is November 3, 1937, The weather is clear, the track is fast. There was an overnight threat of rain but that cleared up and there is a capacity crowd present which has overflowed into the infield. The race coming up isto be the first running of the Pimlico Spedial earrying an added value of $7,500 and in it Glen Riddle Farm's War Admiral will defend his crown as the champion three-year-old of 1937. _SLIGHTLY FASTER - TENSENESS (BACKGROUND OF BUGLE CALLING "FIRST CALL".) The bugle has just sounded calling the horses postward and as I glancé down to my right toward the paddock gate I see that War Admiral is the first to step onto the racing strip. He is followed by Masked General and here comes Bottle Cap - with War Minstrel bringing up the rear. There were ten horses in the overnight entries but six refused the issue, The scratches included Rex Flag, Burning Star, Unfailing, Sun Phantom, Dark- — and Regal Lady. The fans seem to be playing War Admiral right off the board. Right now he is listed atl-to-20. Since there is both straight and place betting on this race there will undoubtedly be what is known as a minus mutuel pool. The Maryland tracks return a minimum of 5 certs on each dollar bet and they will certainly be called upon to add money to the betting pool so as to pay off at even those short odds should War Admiral prove the winner. Bottle Cap is second choice in the wagering at 20-to-1 and both Masked General and War Minstrel are going begging at 25-to#l,. (BURST OF APPLAUSE.) The race, over the one-mile and three-sixteenths distance, will start from the head of the stretch. War Admiral received a tremendous ovation as he passed in parade on his way to the post. Starter Milton is on the track greeting the contestants, talking to the riders and issuing last minute in- structions to the ground crew as the horses are being brought up to the Bahr Starting Gate. Charlie Kurtsinger, "The Flying Dutchman" is up on War Admiral and he is taking the horse into the Number 1 post position. As you know, War Admiral comes up to this race without a single defeat on his three-year-21d record. SpecIAL For Rapio BROADCASTERS From: THOROUGHBRED Racine ASSOCIATIONS of the UNITED STATES, Inc. 400 Madison Ave., New York 17, N. Y. ELdorado 5-3724 Page 2. He has won every one of his starts without exerting too much effort, with one exception. That was in last spring's Preakness, when Pompoon had him stretched straight as a string in a head-to-head finish. War Admiral is carrying top weight of 128 pounds. The Brandywine Stable's Masked General is in post position 2 and is tossed jin with the feather of 100 pounds on his back. That weight is mostly made up of the veteran Ralph Eccard. Bottle Cap is in the third slot, he will be sure of a capable ride by Charlie Corbett at 107 pounds so there isn‘t much dead weight atop Bottle Cap. Mrs. Emil Denemark is sending her War Minstrel to the post under 109 pounds. He is carrying saddle cloth number four, He will have the able assis- tance of Johnny Longden and should have no excuses. They've been lined up for several minutes but War Admiral has been cutting up plenty of capers, delaying the start. But he seems to be settling...andeee. THEY'RE OFFS! FULL SPEED « LOUD CROWD NOISE = FADES TO A MURMUR. They get away to a perfect start but War Admiral is not jumping out in the lead as expected....Johnny Longden cuts in with War Minstrel from the out- side position whipping his mount to the raileeeceBOttle Cap breaks along with War Admiral and Kurtsinger is having a bit of trouble. As they pass the stands the first time War Minstrel is on top, War Admiral and Bottle €ap are nose and nose and Masked General is bringing up the rear. As they move into the first turn Masked General is running like a wild horse around the outside of the field, War Admiral is trying to move up between tijar Minstrel and Bottle Cap under terrific punishment. He finally finds racing room as Bottle Cap drops pack. The first quarter was run in .22 3/5 seconds. Something's got to Crackt} Turning into the backstretch Masked General opens up a lead of a length and a half and is running along casily under his feather of 100 pounds -War Minstrel is second - a length in front of War Admiral, Kurtsinger is probably worried - his riding instructions have always been to go to the front and stay there, but there's nothing he can do about this situation. War Admiral hasn't been able to match strides with any horse except Bottle Cap. Now they're at the half-mile pole and the clock shows they've covered the four furlongs in .46 2/5. That would be fast time for even a sprint race. They're straightened out on the far side of the track now and none of them have gained on the flying Masked General, War Admiral is inching up on War Minstrel, but it seems to be heartbreaking work. Bottle Cap is dropping out of it as Masked General leads by a length-and-a-half, War Minstrel is second by SpeciAL For Rapio BROADCASTERS From: THOROUGHBRED Racine ASSOCIATIONS of the UNITED STATES, Inc. 400 Madison Ave., New York 17, N. Y. ELdorado 5-3724 Page 3. by a short half length over War Admiral who is two-and-a-half lengths in front of Bottle Cap. They're now at the three-quarter mile mark.....Masked General has stretched out his lead to two lengths.....War Minstrel is running along the inside rail and War Admiral is just a head farther back. Bottle Cap is trailing by three- lengths as they complete six furlongs in 1.111/5. That's just 3/5ths of a second slower than the record for that distance and there's almost a half mile left to go$ Masked General is still setting a dizzy pace around the far turn and it seems a cinch that hetll win barring a miracle as War Admiral isn't reaching out with his usual stride and appears all in. Here they come for the stretch and.....ihat's that?..... (CROWD NOISE AND GALLOPING HOOFS SWELLING IN VOLUME TO FINISH LINE.) Masked General forgets to make the turn..e...he's going straight for the outside fencet Eccard is virtually pulling him up to a walk and now hets turned and heading this way. Meanwhile War Admiral has skimmed the rail and saved a dozen lengths and is breczing along on top....eBut here comes Masked General againt The mile time was 1:38 incidentally - Masked General has passed War Minstrel again and hets charging at War Admiral...Can he make it....it's five lengths eoeeeit's four.....now three.....there's twenty yards to go.....it's two lengths and War Admiral hits the wire a length and a half to the good - but beliocve you me he knows he's been to the races. Masked General finishes four lengths ahead of War Minstrel who escapes last place by a nose. (REDUCE SPEED.) Man O Mant What a racet.....There gocs the final time on the board 1:58- 4/5.....-the track record for the distance is 1:58. War Admiral saved his skin but the fans will be talking about how lucky he was to do it for the rest of the winter, Listen in again next week when we will describe the running of the santa Anita Handicap of 1938 in which Stagehand and Seabiscuit put on their memorable duel for a $100,000 prizet (THIS SCRIPT IS NOT TO BE USED - SAMPLE ONLY.)

TOPEKA ARMY AIR FIELD Physical Training Office 10 Jan 45 Dr. Forrest Allen Head Basketball Coach Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Upon assuming the duties here as director of physical training and athletics, I find that we have no basketball games scheduled after the last week in January. The enlisted men and women have both voiced their desire to have an opportunity to see some of the college teams in this region. Being aware of your fine record through many seasons, I thought we might highlight our current season by playing your team two games on a home and home basis. Most of the men on this bese are here for only a few days duration and are then sent to theaters of operations. They are alertec during this time and can not leave the base, Therefore, we wish to give the highest type of entertainment to these men while they are on our base. We have no games after January the 27th, so we can play you at any time at either place that best fits your schedule, This past fall I assisted Major Reese with the Second Air Force Football Team and Ray Evans is a good friend of mine. He is one of the most outstanding men I have ever met since I have been con- nected with athletics. He is indeed a credit to Kansas University. I felt that he was the best back in the nation when the season ended, Hoping to hear from you with regard to this matter, I am Physical Training Offit TMBER 18, 1944. ave Gir- eragusa, 58, curday.

Dear Phog: Recently an argument has arisen in these parts about a basketball player that you should remember quite well as an opponent, and I wonder if you'd be so kind as to settle the issue for Some of us. The man is question is Bill Martin, a Stellar guard for Oklahoma Univ of some years back, and the question concerns his height. How tall is Martin? Do you recall of any All-American honors that he garnered while playing for 0.U. or later with the semi-pro outfit, I believe it was Phillips 66, after he left college? And now a word as to my activities, /I've been in England about a year and have served out a tour of missions as a pilot on a Fortress. Since the middle of May I have taken over a chairborne job in London, and it appears likely that I may be here for some time, it is not an uncommon thing to run into former KU men wherever I go, and it's always a pleasure to talk over the good times we had while! on Mount Oread, Perhaps you know that my kid sister, EBlizabeth,is starting her second year there now. What are your prospects for the coming basketball season, not for publication of course, aS to the caliber of team you'll be able to send forth?

Cordially, 2 o ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TEACHERS APPOINTMENT BUREAU September 1, 1943 to August 31, 1944 - FOREWORD - Following the plan of the last two years only a brief summary of the activities of the Teachers Appointment Bureau has been prep@red for general distribution. Formerly an ex-= tensive report going into considerable detail was mimeograph- ed. In view of the necessity for economy and because of the shortage of teaching candidates, it has seemed unwise to pre- pare such a detailed statement this years All the data es- sential for the complete account have been collected and are available in the secretary's office. Interested persons are cordially invited to consult the secretary at any time regard- ing any aspects of our worke REGISTRATION OF CANDIDATES During the past year we had 412 registrants. This is a decrease of 160 or 28.1 per cent from the registration of 572 for last year. It is the smallest registration in the last ten year period. Of this number 40 were enrolled for the first time, 51 renewed previous registrations, and 321 were carried over from the previous year because the period for which they had paid their fee had not expired. Up to Au- gust 31 of the current yeer 206 of the 321 have been with- drawn for failure to renew registrations. We now have 206 persons on our list to be carried over to the coming appoint- ment year. Of these 192 are experienced or will be getting experience this year, and 14 are without experience. Of the 192 our records show 160 regularly employed in teaching, 12 irregularly employed, 9 in war or government work, 3 married and maintaining homes, 2 in school, 1 in private business, and 5 unknown. Of the 14 inexperienced candidetes 5 are mar- ried, 1 is in business, and 6 are not regulerly employed. Thiw means that none of our present registrants are unemployed un- less it be one of the five whose status is unknown. m6 - There seems to be no present indication that there will be more candidates available for teaching positions next year, A few may return from the armed forces but the prospect of many returning from employment in industry is dim. Until we return to something like normal enrollments in teacher train- ing institutions the outlook for schools is not bright, VACANCIES REPORTED The number of vacancies listed during the school year was 1717. This is a decrease of 258 below last year, a loss of 12.9 per cent. ‘This year's demand however, much greater than that of the pre-war years. The reasons for this are readily apparent. People who under normal conditions would be teaching are now doing war work. Those college students who would be in training for teaching are in the armed ser- vices or in defense plants. It seems likely that there will be many vacancies and fewer candidates until the war ends and something like normal conditions can be restored. PLACEMENTS Due to lack of candidates our placement total regis- tered a decline. The number of persons located on direct re+ commendation by the bureau is 107. In addition to these, 45 of our registrants were elected to teaching positions. Some of these were placed by the Federal Employment Sertéc¢e or by private agencies and received only incidental assistance from the bureau. For that reason we do not count them in our place- ment totals. If we add these to the 107 mentioned above, 152 of our registrants have positions. This is 62 less than the similar total for last year. All told we mailed 844 sets of credentials for 305 different persons. The principal facts regarding calls, enrollment, and placements are recorded in the table attached to this statement. CONTACTS WITH EMPLOYERS No publicity material of any kind has been mailed this year. Decrease in fees received from registration has made it impossible to cover printing and mailing costs. As soon as possible we should resume our program of mail contacts in order that we do not lose touch with our clientele. The vi- siting program carried out last year helped to maintain con- tacts with the schools visited. : The secretary hereby expresses his thanks to all those staff members who have contribyted to the success of the year's work by writing references for our registrants and by assist- ing in recommending candidates for vacancies.

Slater, Missouri September 13, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Last spring when you were in Slater I meant to see you, but it was necessary for me to be out of town at that time. Was sorry to miss you. Incidentally,,the Slater people had some very complimentary remarks to offer about your appearance here. I am interested in basketball reffereeing. You have stated that the field needs some young, ambitious, and quick thinking men. I am going out to try to make a good official. My experience to date has been here in central Missouri--working in high schools and colleges for four years. It is apparent to me that now is the time to move into bigger fields. If I am able to go up, I want to go; and if not then I'll drop the work and stay on the side line. Mr. Allen, I seriously meed the support of a man like you in getting started in the big games. In some places the hireing of officials seems to be almost a "closed shop affair" Which is in the hands of one man or a few men. Now I realize that certain controls and re- gulations are necessary but I believe that unfair dis- crimination will lower the quatily of efficiating and degrade the game. Please advise me as to possibilities, proceedures, and suggestions. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, plan: R.
