Mr. Forrest Allen
Head Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear *Phog”:

r Your letter was very much appreciated.
ye appreciate also that the men I felt rated high in the
Allen” training were getting along so well today. The two
men of more recent graduation I did not know, but noticed
in the Basketball Guide they, too, have had success.

I have been very much impressed with
Don White of Connecticut, a former Purdue Graduate of 1922.
He coached at Washington University, St. Louis for twelve
years and while there made a very creditable record. He has
since, during the past ten years, made a fine record at the
University of Connecticut. He is a mid-/estern trained man,
having played well, coached well and knows what it means to
be cooperator. He has, furthermore, migrated from the West
to the Hast and is quite well acquainted with the Hastern
setup. I wuld like to know anything that you might wish
to say about him in a letter, if possible, because I know.
of his regard for you, and also the fact that his teams met
the Kansas teams while he was at Washington University.

I do not wish to bother you, but do
appreciate that your recommendations stand very high on this
campus.

It was a pleasure to learn from you that
you had three Sons in the Service and that they had been spared
when Peace was declared. You and Mrs. Allen must have been
very busy taking care of their families while the warriors
were in active duty - after all that is what made us a tough
Nation to lick.

Thanks again and with kind regards, I

Most cordial yours,

he
