That is the screwlest rule, but they have got it. Missouri Valley teams can do that without any difficulty, but when we played at Buffalo we played St. Bonaventure, in New York - - Fordham, in Philadelphia - St. Joseph's, and in 5t. Louis - 8t.

Dear Yoe: Permit me to offer congratulations on the triumph over Oklahoma. I'm sorry I couldn't mike connections,but the tfain was two hours late getting one of Wichita and that would have put me in Norman after the game. I did want to see you pour it on Oklahoma. I'll be frank = admit that your club surprised mee It must be one whale of a basketball team,because I know how tough it is to win one on a foreign court -and especially when the opposition is as strong as Oklahoma. It's rather hard to piece together the true account of the game from the limited service over the wires and since I haven't heard a Kansas version of what happened I would be intersted to know just how you wemt about winning it. Some time when you have 4 few moments you might drop me a line. | am planning on booking several big college games for Wichita next season. I have already secured the Forum for the events and have tentative arrangements 1 with some of the Coast schoolse Would you be interested in playin here ?I know we would mé&ke you far more money that you would get out of. tk Eastern trip,and while that is still the big prize of theseason there would at least be a chance to aid the treasury by playing heree Henry Iba has expressed himself as being willing to play kkex in Wiéhita and Bruce Drake Has also indicated that he might consider the propositione I plan to be in Lawrence soon and I'll look you up to discuss the matter .

CROMB TREASURER : March a; 1943 Dr. F. €. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Doc": I know a lot of K.U. people shared the same feeling of pride that I did when they saw the announcement in the Sunday Kansas City paper regarding your selection by the Helms Foundation of Los Angeles as "the greatest basket ball coach of all time". The only thing is that the Helms Foundation is just finding out what all of we K.U. people (and the other teams and coaches in the Big Six) have known for a good many years. It is, however, a real satisfaction to see that your ability is properly recognized. I am sorry to have to admit that I did not have a chance to see your swell 1942-43 team in action this year but between gas rationing and a lot of night work to be done in connection with our Army Air Force contracts, there never seemed to be sufficient spare time. Congratulations again on the honor and heres wishing you continued success and good luck. , yours very uly, AHC :E AY H. Cromb, . Cuteber 1a, 1942. Mr. Frank Cranmer, Gardner, Kensas. Dear Frank: Conserning our conversation at the football game last Saturday, I am sending the following information about our toughening program. Our obstacle course is not spectacular enough as yet, and we want to work up something highly pleasing to the eye from a photographic view- point. Pu | fhe outstanding part of our program is the fine correlation between the R.0.T.C. and the Physical Bducation Department. Col. J.5. Dusenbury and I worked out a plan whereby students in R.0.T.0. would @rill two times a week and then take physical conditioning onee a week to satisfy the University requirement for physical exercise three times a week. We are using advanced R.0.T.C. students who are enrolled in physical conditioning classes to give the basic military commands and tactics of the United States Army. This enables every student enrolled in either the Army, Navy or Air Corps reserve to become acquainted with these vitally necessary requirements before they get into the service. This contribution alone is noteworthy. Ten minutes of each hour is de-. voted to the diseiplinary command and drill practice. Then the toughening program, under the direction of Henry Shenk, Reginald Strait, Wayne Replogle and myself, augmented by a dozen of our athletic leaders and physical education majors: Ray Bvals, Hubert Ulrich, Bill Brill, Otto Schnellbacher, Charlie Black, Warren Hodges, George Dick, Armand Dixon, Max Kissell, Ralph Schaake, Marvin Vandaveer, and Paul Hardman. : Captain EB. B. Baker, of the R.0.T.C., cooperated with us in teaching these leaders military drill so that they would be conversant with those necessary things, but we leave to the R.0.T.C. boys in our classes much of this drill. In our toughener program wo strive to bring out these activities of man: running, jumping, leaping, veulting, crawling end climbing. ‘The obstacle course gets some of these activities, but mass soccer, touch football, basketball, boxing end other contact gemes toughen the men and make them alert for combat service. Then, when we get far enough along, we expest to use Major W. BE, Pairbairn's manual, “Get Tough", to teach them the rougher side of overcoming a man by skill. | Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA: Varsity Basketball Coach. — UNIVERSITY COMMITTEES 1942~ 143 I.
