C. “Phog" Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dre Allen: Perhaps you will recall that I wrote to you late last winter in regard to yor participating in our coaching and officials clinic that wes held in Iowa during the Christmas holidays. Because of the lateness of the date and the fact that it inter- ferred with the coaches meeting in New York City you found -it impossible to be with us at that time.

However, one of the outstanding differences between the two schools will be that our school here in Iowa is going to be held at a modern Y.M.C.A. Camp located on the Des Moines river 50 miles north of Des Moines. This camp has all the modern facilities including a large . outdoor artificial pool, tennis, badminton and handball and various other types of courts together with a large athletic field. We have secured this cemp for the four day period mentioned above and are planning to offer a course of instruc- tion to our coaches and officials in all of the. major sports. In addition to that we plen to place a great deal of emphasis on the prevention and care of injuries. It is ow desire to charge a registration fee to our officials of about $7.00. This $7.00 will cover the four day period and will also in- clude in addition to th registration in the school meals end lodging for the entire period. We will be very happy to have you with us during that period. We are expecting to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 high school coaches in attendance and we would like to have you proceed along about the same lines that you did at the Kansas School last summer. I would, therefore, be very happy to receive an answer to the following questions from
