Dear Dr. Allen:

Congratulationse I tried to worm my way through the mob after the game

to press the flesh but saw the presentation and then gave it up. Ewas
swell to see the Conference come through. You lkmow you would have had
Edwards and Drake to whip had you let us down this late in the season.

I will be glad to contribute a fresh roll of 13" tape to hold that game
crew of yours together for just one more game. I certainly did not "adit
another Coast team in the fi ag this year. I still contend that if a
team goes ahead and gets goo = howd and Fights for that ball under the
backboard, that in the long run they will whip the socks off those one
handed shooters that take 'em just to be shooting. My hat is off to you
BIRDS and just hang tough for this one more same.

In spite of the fact that I have Hugh Ford for another year I do, in all
Sincerity, think that the raising of the goal would do what the elimination
of the center jump was supposed to do, namely, take the premium off the big
mane Granted that the big man in basketball is always going to be in demand,
nevertheless a team is entitled to the shots that they take at the basket
and have barned them without having a six foot ten boy jump and steal the
ball before it even hits. Whether the elevation of the basket will take
effect next year or not, I feel confident trat for. the good of basketball
this step is going to be necessary if we intend to ‘make the progress that
we have made in the last five years. The present height of ten feet was
no doubt set arbitrarily because the running tracks in the old gymnasiums
happened to be this elevation. You know more than L -abdéubvcut inventor’ and
what would be Neismith's attitude on this question ,but I am positive that he
would frown on the goal tending tactics that all of us have employed at some
time or other.

Whether this height should be eleven @ twelve feet I do not know but believe
that an eleven foot basket would be.easier to sell than the twelve foot. There
is no doubt in my mind that the are of disbursement on rebounds would clear

up the congested area under the basket which would of course eliminate a lot
of personal fouls.

This is not for publication but I sincerely believe that the helter-skelter one
handed shots that are directed at the basket on the swing shots with little

or no arch would certainly lose their effectiveness. I understand that Hobby
Hobson has two sophomores at this time both measuring six foot seven and
another measuring six foure So the elimination of the center jump has

failed to eliminate the big man but instead has placed a higher premium
on hime Any of my comments that you care to use you may do so at your
own discrimination.

Yes, Hugh Ford will be back in school next year and from a selfish
standpoint I would not be in favor of raising this basket next year
unless a vote would be called. At that time, with the future of the game

Dear Mr. Allen;

I am writing you this letter to let you know my circum-
stances, I graduated from McLouth High School in 1935. The
next year and one-half I spent at Kansas University. I was
forced to quit school because of lack of money.

For the next three years I helped my father on his farm
where I finally saved enough money to start back to school.

I got a job washing dishes fo my board, this was enough to
help me get through school the first year, Then, after about
three weeks the place where I was working , sold their equip-
ment and I was out of a job. Since then I have not been able
to get another job.

I have been out for football since the start of the season.
but I haven't made much of a showing, maybe I can break through
after while.

I plan to go out for basketball. TI.:played on the high
school for three years. Since I have been out of school
I played :foeur years inde pencent basket with the MecLouth
town team. These facts don't mean very much except I like
to play basketball and that I have hac some experience,

This year I transferred from Engeering to Physiéal Educa-
tion. It took me several years to find exactly what I wanted
to do but now I know it is to coach.

I would appreciate anything you could do for me toward
helping me get a job. I am twenty-two years old-.and if I
don't go on this time , I'll probably not ever have a chance
to go on to school..again,

This letter is full of I's, it is not egotism but poor
writing.

Very Sincerely Yours,

THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION

De. F.C. Allen
105 Robinson Gymnasium
Campus

Dear Dr. Allen:

it has been suggested by Chancellor Deane W. Malott that
in connection with the national defense program in which the
University is most eager to participate, that the University
set up a temporary speaking bureau through which the services
of members of the University faculty would be offered to the
state in the medium of speeches on democracy. The University
of Virginia has carried out this project quite successfully
with more than 30 of its outstanding faculty members deliver-
ing these talks on some phase of democracy based upon depart-
mental knowledge and research. |

The project there has resulted in a great deal of good
will for the University and has attracted notable recognition
from the federal government. . Chancellor Malott is definitely
of the opinion that such a program is feasible in the state
of Kansas and has asked me to assist in arranging the program.

services of the speakers would be offered to various
civic and private group gatherings at times that would be en-
tirely convenient to the faculty members who would participate.
It is the purpose of the University to offer the serviées for
expenses only. This was the policy adopted at Virginia.

Your name has been suggested as one of.the faculty leaders
who would propably be willing to assist in the noteworthy pro-
ject. 1 would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest
convenience as to whether you would be willing to cooperate
and also would like to have the subject of your proposed &éalk.
it should be related in some way to democracy, but outside of
that you are at complete hiberty to mold the topic.

it is planned now not to have the meetings start until
after Christmas holidays and also to arrange them so that
there would be no conflict with the mid-year examinations.

t am sure that Chancellor Malott would be most grateful
for your cooperation in this venture, and certainly I will
appreciate your indication of assistance,

Sincerely

Dear Nrse Davis:

I want to thank you for your hospitality and your
husband's Idndness in entertaining me yesterday afternoons I
enjoyed it very very muche

I @lsoe premised to send you sone information on viteminse
This is the dopes For sonetime there has been much interest in
the means ef building cardiae reservee Accumulated evidence in
the last years would indicate that the giving of bitemin B compound,
giycing, and dextrose would aid in restoring cardiac reserve when _—
it is lost through verious types of disease and inertiag For
several years these methods have been employed in practice and the
imprevenén’t. shown in many of the patients has impressed the general
practitionerse

Many of the research men have felt that if this improvement
could be brought about in exhausted hearts from disease, then it
would be possible to improve cardiac reserve in those who are under
great physical strain. We have used these methods on our basketball
players the last two years and we have had exceptional resultse

We use one capsule of betulin compound three times daily
after mealge This is an extract of birch bark and is compounded by
Eli Lilly Companye The capsules are quite expensive but if you would
likes to get some I would be glad to order them wholesale for youe

? We also use one tablespoon of dexin (destrose sugar made by
Burrows & Wellcome) in a glass of lenomde ten minutes before mealtime
(once a day)e

Also we use one tablespoon of glycolixer (alyeine) by Squibb
three times a day just before moalsse

If you would interested further in this I would be glad to

Mr. Forrest CeAllen,
Varsity Basketball Coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kensas

Dear Coach Allen:

Thanks a lot for your letter of Jan.28th. I can see I've a lot of explaining
to do, so I'll try to do a thorough job of it.

However, let me say right away that the reason:for the discrepancies noted by
you and the boys is thet there is a lag of 11 days between the reting date
and the one at the top of the sheet. Note that on the sheet for week ending
Jane3lst, that standings and ratings are through games of Jane20th onlye

In other words, the ratings are about a week old when you receive them -- and
haven't caught up with the games most recently played, and which are uppermost
in your mind.

For instance, you mention the Kansas rating dropping to 58el after you had
defeated Iowa State end Missouri. But that wasn't the casee 58.1 was your
rating after losing to Oklahomae The Iowa State victory shot you up to 60et6
After licking Missouri you went to 60el, and stayed right there after taking
Kansas State 46 to 4le

I use no opinion or guesswork. The teams set their ow ratings. I simply

record what happense The ratings show the average scoring margin you have

established above or below the average rating of your opposition. I use an
average of the last three games only in order to show current condition of

each teame

As of today, Big Six ratings are as follows:

Kensas 60el Iowa State 58e6
Nebraska 59.9 Kansas Ste 55e2
Oklahoma 59e2 Missouri | 49el

I'm wondering if you and the boys agree with that set-up. Certainly hope sc.
Meantime, let me say I'm awfully sorry thet the new sheets can't get to you
sooner. However, for various reasons I'm now tied up on a basis where the
sheets are printed in Chicago on Wednesdays end can't be mailed out of here
until Fridayse
Starting with the issue for week ending Febe7th, which will be mailed
tomorrow, we're introducing a new factor which will greatly increase
forecasting accuracye

I hardly need to tell you of the great advantage which the home team
enjoys in basketballe Our five-year research has shown that the average
team's variation at home and away is about 4.0 pointse

Consequently, beginning with this issue, we're adding 2.0 points to the
home team's actual or "neutral" rating, and subtracting 2.0 points from
the visiting team's rating in the forecast colums. Standings will still
show the actual ratings.

I realize thet such handling will be far from ideal, but since it will
increase accuracy by fram 5 to 10 percent, we're going to try it for

a while, at least.

I'm hopeful that you'll let me know if I can meke any further explenations,
and that the service will prove a source of interest and enjoyment to

you end the boyse

Thanking you again, I en,

uchk).fef

PeSe The forecast for Febe3rd will show:
KensaSeececcse Gel VS Wichita .. 00ee0* 4706

That's because 2e0 has been subtracted from your 60.1 rating and the
same added to Wichita's 45.6 rating, since you're the visitors.

So go ahead and make a liar out of me by winning by 15 points.

Dear Duds

Boy, you write a swell letter and mke a fellow feel good,
don't you?

I genuinely appreciate all the fine things that you had to
say and I want you to mow that a letter like that, coming from you,
means much more than ffom the “applesauce brigades”

I am very sure that you have the right conception of officiating
the game in such a way that the players all get benefit from the game,
even though some of them loses Officiating is like driving a fractious
eteed. You hold him in check and it is quite a ficht, and you only loosen
the reins when you are sure that you have under controle It is a grand
feeling for both horse and driver, just as it is a grand feeling for the
official and players when the game is properly officiateds

Our family are all well as I hope yours are, but we did have
very bad experience on the day we returned to Lawrences, Beating Loyola
a Glose score partially assuaged the feelings of the players, but
Allen Family drove into the driveway and opened up their house
expected summer temperature from a new oileo=matic burner that
installed in the fall. Instead of that wo had had fireworks
basement when the olleommatic exploded and e heavy film of grimy
@overed everything in the household from attic to basemente

draperies, carpets, floors, chinewareg it would be impossible
on something that did not get coverede So we have been in the
painting, paperhanging, cleaning everything from top to dottants,

It is not the men of the house that suffer, but: the: wenenteitie
who have to live within those walls all the times. But the sun is
today and most of the stuff has been returned fron the cry cleaners, the
Windows have had their film washed from them, and I believe the blue birds
will be here in three days.

Dear Dr.Allen:

Your two recent letters were deeply appreciated
but frankly they hurt my conscience just a bit because I know
how desperately, busy you are at this time of the year and you
have no time to be spending writing letters to fellows like me-
much as they may iInepire us,

Alice and I were so happy to have had those few minutes with
you and NMre.Allen and the family(two of them,at least)at the
time of your New York debut.Alice fell in love with Mrs.Aallen,
as I knew she would. You were both so kind to find time to talk
with us in the midst of your many friendships and precious time.

I dont know when a basketball gamehss hurt me more than the one
your sick kids played that night;certainly I couldnt have felt
worse had I been coaching them myself.Coming right on top of that
justly deserved article it was a shame that they wernt in shape
to show that critical crowd just how an Allen coached team can
really, play the game of basketball.

But to. your tone erecit. altho few realized the situation,no ali-
bis appeared in any columns even mentioning the fact that your
kids, including yourself were really quite sick with the flu.What
greater tribute can be paid any team and any coach ? None, to my
mind in this da, and age of commercialized, phoney intercollegiate
athletics when alibis are the commonest stock in trade of far too
many so-called coaches. Your sportstmanship in txis instance is one
which I shall never forget and one which I am using every time I
have the opportunity, in meking talks to groups of people in this
region.

Thanks so much for your most generous letter to Bushnell. if that
Gosnt secure me an opportunity to officiate a few games under his
direction nothing will,and I only hope I shall be able to live up
to the many kind things you said.I'm working many high school game
and have one at Colgate in two weeks.Saw Notre Dame play Syracuse
Monday in the roughest,dirtiest game I have ever seen two college
teams: play - and it was all the fault of two lax officials, three
boys seriously hurt and seven expelled bifore it was overt!?

Thanks again anc kindest personal regards Mrs.Allen and the fam
ily from the DeGroote. : ;

Dear Doc,

This letter has not been dispatched to you as soon as 1
had expected, but I have really been’on the go’ since leaving
Lawrence.

Probably John Bunn has written you concerning their num-
ber one prospect for the job at K.U. Both John and Esslinger
believe that a man by the name of Bert Pike is well qualified
ana their best candidate for K.U. I do not know him personally.
Esslinger believes that Voorhees is a good boy but that Pike
is better. I talked to Voorhees about the situation and he
is definitely interested if the salary is sufficient to war-
rant the move. Voorhees said that he would write directly to
youe I believe that either of the two would fill the bill.

After a short session with Bunn and Esslinger at Stanford,
I drove South, established myself temporarily here at home, |
and reported for duty at Riverside. The entire 4th Air Force Hdgts.
has been but recently established and th_srefore is still in
the throes of becoming organized. It will take some little ;
time for me to become established and oriented in the new job, (|
but I can see already that it is going to develop into a rather
tremendous project. Iwill have no civilian assistants at any
of the bases; rather, my job will be to organize and coordinate
the programs thurout the District and to train the leaders for
conducting the programs. It should be interesting, but very
definitely there will be headaches and difficuities to overcome.

I want to take this opportunity to tell you again, Doc, that
I thoroughly enjoyed working under you during the past two years.
It was a rare opportunity that I would not have missed for any-
thing, and the experience there has greatly enhanced my professional
and personal training. No one knows what the future holds, but
I certainly hope that I may be considered again as a candidate
for a position at K.U. when and if this brawl is over. Ruth and
I will always cherish many fond memories of our associations and
life in Lawrence.

Best of luck in your quest of replacements in the Department,
Doc. If there is anything I can do to aid you in your search,
don't hesitate to call .on me. Also if any questions arise con-
cerning any phase of the work in the Department which I handled
during the past two years, I shall be happy to supply any infor-
mation I am able to (which is not é¢ontained in the files I left).

Please give my best regards tm Mrs. Allen and the family.

Dear Superintendent Dean:

: Ordinarily I would apologize for consistently
pestering you about matters that you perhaps feel are
irritating to you at times, ©“ 1b I do not apologize in
regard to this very important intrusion upon your time,
It coneerns the youth of Lawrence and coneerns them

vitally.

Toedey of all times the national administration
anc all state administrations are calling upon youth and
insisting thet they be physically fit as well as emotionally
and mentally sO. “ith every selective draft exanination
more’ boys in sreater numbers are showing their physical
unfitness. and with each day our leaders arise and say,
"For you, Uncle Sam, we will cooperate in every way possible.
‘@ want to help 100% in this great National Defense Program
that is so necessary."

sut do we de it? The gyunasia in this town are
closed to youth, I do not know wheter your own high school
and grade school children break into your buildings, but if
they would, I imagine they would be arrested. Yesterday
children from your schools broke into both the gymnasium and
auditorium with basketoaills in their hands,

| Ufficer George Snyder and Dr, H. K, Klbel are in
“ay office now reporting this thing. They did not arrest the
children because they did not feel that the blame was upon
them.

ill you not, Clifford, make some arrangesent where-
by the children of Lawrence can play under supervision during
Saturdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas - -olidays, and especially
after school hours? There is no provision mace for the
crildren of Lawrence to exercise under supervision efter
school hours,

 
Of course, we do not expect you or anyone, even
the University, to keep the gymnasium open on Sunday, but
if the children were not starved for play, or were given
an opportunity to play so as to fill this desire, then
they would not endeavor to steal the sweets of which they
feel such a great poverty.

Se have repeatedly asked the members of our
Board of Education in Lawrence to do something about this
very pressing problem, out to date, nothing has been done.

I called Neal “herry two months ago, but he very
politely said, “Phog, I will report it."

_ ‘Dear Mrse Daviss |

I received your letter and I assure you that I an very happy
to do anything that I can to help you in any waye \

For fear of fatiguing you with too fulsone a missive, I omitted
some of the information that I believe would be helpfule 1 did not want
you to understand that this was only for cardiac deficiency. I do not
believe that I mide that plaine |

' The autonomic nervous system, of course, controls all the organs
not under control of the wille So many enctional disturbances first appear
through some deficiency of vitemins that aid in building a durable nervous
system. Of course, the heart suffers along with the other vital organs»
controlled by the sympathetic end paraesympathetic system, which is, of
course, the autonomic systems 3

I might state to you that I have been taking these three biological
products for two years, and frankly, I believe that the energy that I have
is due largely to a pretty careful adherence in taking these regularly.
I take one tablespoon full of the glycolixer before each meal and a capsule
of betulin after each meal. Neither one of these are fattening. In fact,
they are the norm] ingredients that a very normal person woujd digest from
& balanced meal, if he took the food stuffs that contained the proper vitamins.

The dexih (Burrows & Welleame) is a scientific name for dextrine
which is @ sugar and is fattening, but if a nervous or wornedown person
should have trouble with their digestion, dextrine is the indicated food for
such & person because it is easily assimilated.

My breakfast for the morning is an egg-lemonade with a tablespoon
full of dexin and two heaping tablespoons of cane sugare Meny people ‘certainly
would not go an egg=lemonade for breakfast, but in wy athletic endeavors » |
I have learned to take mny liquidse Ty Cobb ate nothing but a bowl of bread
and milk before his strenuous baseball games, and we feed our Kansas basketball
players very lightly before any contestse

have the desire te eat so much food if you take these vitamins into your bodye
The system is fairly well satisfied but I do eat a large meal at noons

 Mrse Tavis Page Two Mare 13, 1941

I am mentioning these things to show you that in these concentrated
vitamins you have all that you need to take into the body and yet you do not
have bad after-affects which are produced by overeating heavily laden
nitrogeneous foods which are largely contained in meatse I do not mean, of
course, by this that a person should not eat meat, but we have a tendency
in our sedentary life to overemphasize meat eatinge .

The individual who tears down much tissue in activity mturally
needs tissueebuilding food, and because of that activity we naturally
Consume more and varied types of food which build up the vitamin balance.
But in our inactivity we are very apt to choose the food only that appeals
to our gustatory senses and not to our bodily needs. |

I trust that this added letter may clear up any lack of information
that my first letter failed to containe I want to assure you that if you
would care to consult me on any of these points it would be a very great
pleasure to.discuss these matters with you furthers

It was a great delight to be in your hospitable home. I always
feel much better after having been theres

Your letter arrived just at the time I was
finishing wy baseball season and then our examinations and
ommencement came on. We're now just starting our Sumer
School work.

I notice that you have gotten meh information from
Springfield College and you doubtless have the book, “Sasketball*
edited by the Associated Press. This should give you much information
end background. er
T have been associated with Doctor Naismith sinee 1905. |
I played on the Varsity team here when he was our only coach.
gid not intend to caach much but his philospiay and interest in the

Dear Mr. Allen

I am preparing an article
on the late Dr. James Naismith and feel
that you may have some interesting data
or personal anecdotes regarding him which
might be included.

Inasmuch as their interest
in Dr. Naismith also is strong at Spring-
field the auhtorities there have given me
a great deal of background information.

Thanks for anything you may
send along. Best regards.

Sincerely,
