Dear Bondy:

3 Thank you for your kind lotter of the 10th

ee eT.

Dear Doctor Allen:

I've just read with considerable interest your
article "Rotate the Center-Jump" in the Febru-
ary edition of Esquire, an advance copy of which
has just come across my desk.

You will, no doubt, stir up many a controversy
again and will get many letters on this subject,
but, let me be one of the first to say that you
are 100% right in getting away from the game as
we have it today. The dizzy pace is just too
much for the youngsters and I'm glad I played my
basketball under the old rules. Your solution
sounds sensible and it would be fair to everybody.
I hope you start something that can be put into
effect. :

I certainly enjoyed seeing Mrs. Allen, when she
was here last month and I am still looking for-
ward to that golf game with you. You have two
coming now, so if you have hoarded any golf balls,
come over this way at your first opportunity this
Spring and we'll see how gogd you are.

appreciate it.

es Wave ‘Sen macy “elie” man im the oomtry toley,
Mr. Beauchamp, - too many fellows who are afraid of criticisn
and afraid to bend ub in front for sone of the things that
they lmow are right. But I have never been afraid of criti-
cism because I have always had to face ite You would be
surprised to see the fellows that come up to me and say, “Phog,
you are right about that", but they will never do it even when
they are the beneficiaries. They want someone else to break
the ice floe for then. :

There is e lot to tell you about the Towa State game
but it is too long to write about, so at the first opportumity
I have 1 will stop at 802 Iowa, Holton, Kensas, and say hello
to you and your good wife. I trust that she is standing the

| Dear Brownie:

I was pleased indeed to get your season's greeting which wes
contained on your posteard as of January Srd. I will be very
happy to continue our friendly yet serious discussion on the
future of competitive sports when and if they amount to more than
they do at present. Personally, I think they are the gyp.

Oklahoma has violated the residence rule and the migrant rule
_ by the use of Tucker, yet they are throwing up the same defenses

that the outfit of Hitler, Mussolini and Japan have used. The

_ Yules are not ambiguous ~ they are very clear, yet they appeal to
the maudlin sympathy thet this boy Tucker is a good boy, he is a

good student and it is a shame to mistreat a nice boy.

Brownie, it seems as if no organization at the present tine
wants to abide by the rules. These international bandits and high
pressure big shot lawyers have found so many loop heles in the law
that there is no respect for rules and regulations any longer. :

i still say my czar-commissioner is the answer. If this fellow
‘hed a long term contract and was the supreme authority like Judge
Landis, he would fire a lot of these coaches and fixers of athletics
and the remaining lot of coaches would be too much efraid to pull
what they are pulling now. :

Oklahoma is threatening to withdraw from the conference. Well,
there is just one thing I wish. I would like to be in e position
of authority high enough to give them a chance to jump out on their
_ meck, They are like the little boy in a big family. ‘They have
_ grow too big for their own family and when they get tee big the

thing for a lot of them to do is leave home.

Thanking you for your good wishes, and wishing you continued
success, and assuring you thet we sre one hundred per cent behind
‘the boys who serve, I am
