Dr. Forrest C. Allen,

Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Phog:

It was a great deal of pleasure to receive a letter
from you of this date as we certainly have fond memories
of your several visits here.

Mrs. Wrightman, Rosalie, and I went down to see Fred
last week-end and found him in the best of nealth and cer-
tainly working hard. He is carrying sixteen hours besides
two hours of activity which, of course, keeps him busy.
but he likes it very much and is getting along verv well.
He is out for track and works out with the bov from Paola
who is supposed to be quite a star.

Regarding Mr.. Hanson, I am glad to say that he has more
than come up to our expectations. He is getting along very
well with the boys and they seem to cooperate anti work
for him very hard. In our conference, he has won two games
and lost one. The one lost should have been a tied game.

He is aiso doing well in his class work so that I feel,
altogether,, that we are very fortunate in having chosen

him for the place. I want to thank you for your cooperation
in helping us to get such a good man.

With best regards to your family and hoping to see you
sometime this year, I remain,

November 9, 1939,

Mr. Forrest C. Allen,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Allen:

St. John's Junior College of Winfield, Kensas, is in the process of
remodelling its gymnasium, and there are various points of
construction on which I have been seeking much needed information.
For such information I had spoken to Mr. Hersh Cornwell of
Eldorado, Kansas, and he in turn referred me to you.

The point is this. In our gymnasium we are attaching the
basketball backboards to the walls at either end, undoubtedly
by a framework of steel. Do you think it advisable to put in
such construction to conform to the present type backboard, or
is it highly probable that the smaller concave type backboard
will be the coming thing in basketball ? If the old type is
going to stay in, our construction may as well conform to it,
but if the new type comes in, we will have to reconstruct the
whole framework at quite an expense, if we do not prepare for it
2t the present time.

I would be deeply appreciative for your opinion and suggestions

on this matter.
woe yf bfahlne

Lorenz #. Wahlers, Coach.

I have your nice letter of November 9 enclosing a copy of

He came in with a letter from you and I assumed that he was one
of your boys. While we are delighted always to help any young
fellow, I gave him more attention than I probably would have if
he wouldn't have had your letter. Anyway, he is doing a grand
job with our Company in Washington. We should both feel very
happy to have given a little time and interest toakid who I be-
lieve is on the right track.

It was nice of you to write me and send me a copy of his letter.

Dear Mr. Allen:

It is quite possible that you have forgotten my intro-

Atlanta. However, I sincerely trust you haven't.

I understand that there is a possibility of my being
mentioned as an official (by Coach Alexander) for the Orange Bowle
If I am not asking too much, I would like to have you recommend,
or put in a good work for me, to Coach Don Faurot at the University
of Missouri. :

This season I have officiated in thirteen collere games,
such as Auburn=Georgia Tech, South Carolina-Florida, South Carolina-
Catholic University, Mississippi State-Auburn, Georgia Tech-Florida,
etc. My position is H. Le, and I have just concluded my thirteenth
season as an official.

For your information, I am thirty-six years old, weigh
180 pounds, am five feet eleven inches tall, and received my football
training at the University of Georgia in 1924-25 and 26, as end.

I trust that you may see fit to give me a boost and I also
hope that when you are back in Atlanta, we can play Hast Lake together.

Dear Dr, Allen:

I am writing to you at this time to pass along a little
information about a boy who graduated from Topeka High
School a year ago. \He attended Kansas University last
year,but,because of financial reverses, was forced to re-
main out of school this fall semester.

Ted Moser, the boy whom I refer to, will return to Kansas
University this next semester. Ted is about six feet two
inches tall and wéighs around one-hundred and Pitty pounds
He played a regular forward position on my high sch 901
team here for two years and is a boy that really has
basketball possibilities and is one who loves the game.

Ted played with the intramural team at Kansas last year
and was selected on the intramural all-stars He is one of
the finest boys we have ever had anything to do with, a
perfect gentleman and a very good student. His father is
dead and his mother is striving hard to educate the family.
There are other children in the family but I am not sure
S to the number. Ted will return to Kansas Tniversity
