_ Messrs. Pete Cawthen and
Diutchey Smith, jointly engaged
_im the business of running Texas
. Hech’s athletics, further capably
‘agsisted by Del Morgan, have
wisely selected one of .the most
ealorful athletic figures of the
equntry as a member of their
<ammer coaching school faculty.
What Knute Rockne was to
fcytball, Dr. Forrest Cc. “Phog”
Aflen is to basketball. The Tech
ciyaches puld not have selected
a ‘better, more influential, more
popular man. It is doubtful if
they could have selected a man
with a more profound know!l-
ed: and love of the game. It
js qioubtful if there is a man
anyayhere who knows his basket~
halt shots and how to teach
basWetball than Phog Allen, di-
recter of athletics at the Uni-
versity of Kansas.

Dr. Allen’s record, or a brief
summ pry of it, appears in another
column of today’s paper, along with
the f(jrmal announcement that he
has accepted Tech’s request to come
here aryl conduct a series of classes
and delirer a series of lectures along
the lines of his favorite topic next
July. Fis coming should give the
school :wided impetus, draw a great-
er attesmdance, provide bigger and
better rwublicity for Tech and for
Lubbock.,

Bests being an athletic di-
rector of one of the greatest
schools o fthe country and head
baskethyll coach and trainer
there, Lyr. Alien finds time to do
a lot off writing. At present he
qs condircting a regular feature
column for the Associated Press,
in whic he tells of basketball
teams and players. He is a
veritable;-well of knowledge, his
25 years of coaching experience
having provided him with
enough seap_ to fill many
columns, He has written fer -
various other news and feature
syndicates, and some of the
quality mpgazines. He is a na-
tionally Iynown and recognized
authority. Limited space pre-
vents these pudlications from
earrying Iw. Allen’s Associated
Press columpnn, which is other-
wise available for publication
herein. We ‘were reading one of
his columns: yesterday,. in which
he recalls ay game in 1903 be-
tween the Haskell Indians,
whom he latwr coached, and the
Kansas Cifhy Athletic club,
where he gained all-American
honors the fellowing year.
