With appreciation of your courtesy and co- operation, I an Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Sdusation, FCA sAil Varsity Basketball Coach. ~ UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION March 28, 1944, Mr. Raymond Nichols, Chancellorts Office, Dear Rays I am sending you a letter from Mr. Je Gyulay, Jr., of the Wallace & Tiernan Sales Corporation. I talked with you over the phone the other day concerning the break down in our chlorin- ator equipment. His letter is self-explanatory, and my remarks to you suggested that we provide ourselves with this equipment. This chlorinator can be used in a newer and improved plant should we see fit to either build a new pool or repair this one. There will not be a cent wasted. In fact, there will be money saved because they will allow the labor and material used for the patching of this old one against this new equipment. We have sufficient money to take care of this expenditure. If we had time to go back over our expenditures on this old chlorinator for the past two years it would be something to think about. In my conversation with Mr. Gyulay, he told me that the Wallace-Tiernan people figure the life of any chlorinator is ten years. After that they compare it to an old man past eighty. After studying the problem, will you kindly let me know your findings at your earliest convenience so that we may move forward?

I had several letters setting forth suggestions which you wrote about. : Coach Mitchell of Central High School, Minneapolis, had the same suggestion and J think it is a good one. There are always so many of these suggestions presented to the Rules Comittee that never bear fruit.

Allen Lawrence, KansaSe Dear Dr. Allen: It was a pleasure indeed to hear that you are to be with us next Thursday evening for our banquet honoring the football and basketball squadse tir, Spring informed me that you would like some information about the boys, but don't know just what 1 can tell that will be of any great help. “ight say thet the athletic letters are beimg awarded that evening and we try to get something on each of the boys. The football team did not lose a game. Dale Arutsinger was captain, and is a senior. Ue is manager of the local theater and is very fond of a little senior by the name of Ruthie Bell. The backfield consisted of Tomberlin, Turvey, Johnston, and Stavelye The basketball team won the state elimination tournament at Burlingame, and second in the state regional at Osage City. Tomberlin, a senior, was captain. Uther members were John- ston, Artz, Turvey, Evans, and Warner. The boys are very much pleased that you have consented to come, and 1 hope the evening here will be a pleasant one for you also. R. P. Wellborn \ March 20, 1944. Mr. Oscar D. Wolf, $290 Sixth Avenue, San Diego 3, California. Bear Oscar: I was pleased to have your letter and to know that you and : the Mrs. are anxious to ses home folks after your stay of three years on the coast. It has always been my conviction that Kansas is still the best spot in the world after you have lived here a while. We would be mighty happy to see you good people when you come our way. It was nice of you to say the things you did regarding our basketball team. This being war year I have never taken it as a compliment to have an outstanding team during the war. ‘There are too many important things in the war effort to-be bothered too much nk we athletics. Host of our best boys are in the service, and only the 4F'ers and the youngsters are carrying on. And of course the 4P boys are the determining factor in most of these so-called big time teams unless the Wavy plays a part. And it is an unusual team that can have the Navy during all of its season. So, while we should carry on to the best of our ability, I think any energy that we have should be devoted toward the big thing at hand, and that of course is winning the war at the earliest poss- ible moment so that all of our boys in the various fronts can be back home wiSh US. It was good to hear from you and it will be still better to se@ yOu. With all good wishes, I am Sincerely yours, Direetor of hysical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA March 9th, 1944. Dear Forrest:-- The newspaper boys out here are quizzing me a little about Kansas' standing in Big Six basketball, as you are generally on top or mighty close by, but I tell them with ease there is only as answer, LACK OF MATERIAL, as K. U. has the best coach in the country. I notice the nice comment by McBride in the Star regarding his prediction and yours on the team most likely to win the championship this time and it appears you came in a nose ahead of him. It should be a good drawing card if Iowa State and Oklahoma could play a third game in Kansas City. | We have been out here now for three years this time and oer getting anxious to Nucis see home folks and friends, so hurry up and get this old war over. Mrs. Wolf joins in kindest regards and best wishes to you and your good wife. Sincerel Oscar D. Wolf, $290 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, 3, Galil. £
