June 24, 1940 Mr. Forrest Allen Athletic Department University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Fog: I have a team in the Kansas City Ban Johnson League and we are having trouble with the major leagues taking our players in the middle of the playing season. I am tickled to death to have them take the players at the end of the season, but do not think it fair for them to take them in the middle of the year, thereby chang- ing a club from possibly a first division to a second division. My contention is that a player is not a professional, even though he has signed a contract to play professional ball, until he has either played or received money for playing or signing a contract. I have just had a case of one of my players whom the New York Yankees wanted to sign, and, due to my objec- tions, promised to sign the young man at the end of the season. The Detroit Tigers come along and sign the young man now, and have him report to a minor league club. Had the Yankees been permitted to sign this young man now to report in the spring, this would never have happened. Frank Goodman, President of the Kansas City Ban Johnson League, contends that when a player signs a contract to play professional ball, he then becomes a professional, which makes him ineligible to play in the Ban Johnson League. Would you be so kind as to tell me whether the Conference rules would consider a young man a professional who is signed to play in the future as I explained above. I am trying to sell Frank Goodman on the fact that he is wrong in his ruling. Sorry to bother you with this, but naturally thought of my old friend when in trouble. If you would be so kind as to give me an opinion, it will be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards.

Dear Dr. Allen: I have been informed by some of the salesmen who were through Kansas during Spring football practice, that your boy Miller has a knee brace that is the best they ever saw. I thought perhaps you might have designed this particular brace. Would appreciate very much if you would give us the name of the manufacturer and the number of the brace. In the past two or three years, in this state, there has been quite a demand for a suitable knee brace. I suppose you are looking forward to another great season in basketball.

All reports which have reached my office have been favorable. I feel sure the pupils have profited by this experience and we hope it has been worthwhile for the cadet teachers. Our Board of Education at its regular June meeting voted to extend the privilege of using cadet teachers in the Junior and Senior High School physical educa=- tion classes in addition to the elementary schools. This permission was given subject to the restriction of not more than two cadets to any one class and that their work be in the nature of observation and assistance only. They are not to take direct charge of any classe Please feel free to call upon us for help if we can be of assistance in setting up the program for the coming school yeare Very sincerely yours, Clifford D.

The service intends to supplement other agencies and personal effort.

I think this meeting will be at the Phillips Hotel but will advise you definitely later. Your audience will be about thirty of our key men. We are attempting to build in them a Gompany complex, the idea of team work in business, that the American Dairies has a distinct personality, and that they are important clogs in the whole machine; and by their appearance, activities, ideas etc., contribute to and in fact make the personality. I have heard you in the past weaving the team work and ideas of athletics and athletic contests into tie business structure and it was a talk alone this line that we hope you will see fit to give us. Our company as a whole is part of the American Dairies, which consists of about eleven plants in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. During the years of mergeritus, some of us not having a taste for national merger conceived the idea of this local merger. If there is any other information that we can give you that you might desire will be glad to furnish it, if possible. With very kindest regards, I am. Very truly yours, a es EH.
