' : Thanks for your recent letter. i assure you there was no desire for a commission. I merely mentioned the fact that the Chancellor had brought up the point that he had only released men who had been offered commissions. Personally, I think there is a greater advantage without a commission in working with higher yanking officers than with one. Now, f am writing you hoping that you can answor some of my questions directly. , I am working under no delusions, namely, thet if I left without the permission of the Board of Regents and the Chanc- ellor, I would not expect to retwn here. Therefore, it is necessary that I know some things. Considering all these factors, I am seriously considering the proposition of the Army Athletic Branch 2 7 Would the fair compensation, mentioned in your wire, for the three months period be in line with the pro rata yearly salary of the civilian consultant? - The present date, Ootober 9, would call for some clarifications of the situation soon to enable people to get ready by November 1.

Qe. Dr. F. C. Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. | Dear Phog: Thank you for your letter of 28 September outlining frankly the position in which you find yourself. There is no chance that we can secure a commission for you, as all commissions were frozen over a year ago. You are also correct in your supposition that we would probably not be able to use you as late as 1 March. However, we will try in every way to keep from requesting men to serve when it would interfere with their active season. How we are going to arrange this and still set our program up for V-Day is something we will have to figure out. Maybe we will have to give up basketball as one of our sports offerings, but it will entirely depend on when V-Day occurs. May I suggest that under the circumstances you let matters ride as they are and if I secure a request it will be transmitted from this office to you and you can use it as ammunition for your talk with your Vhancellor. Meanwhile, we have used your name along with other coaches Simply saying they will be available if needed. I do not see that this will interfere with your consideration by the Chancellor. I will be glad to keep this confidential as you request. Sincerely yours, HENRY W. CLARK, It. Col.,; G. 5, C., Chief, Athletic Branch. Lt. Col. He W.

Clark, ¢.8.C., Chief, Athletic Branch, Headquarters Army Service Forces, 25 West 43rd Street, New York 18, N.Y. Dear Colonel Clark: I am now making a reciprocal request and at the same time I am making an explanation. I would please ask that you consider this latter entirely confidential. When _ wire arrived I took the same to. Ernie Quigley, our new Athletic Director, asking for permission to goe Ernie and I had a rather lengthy conference, but the implied reaction was that he would dislike to see me gc at this time, However, he saw the situation and | informed me that if possible he would endeavor to arrange matters quite satisfactorily if the call came through. I endeavored to call you in Omaha inasmuch as your wire was date- lined Omaha. I wanted a little more information, if possible, so that I could present it to the Chancellor. I found that you were in New York. I had tried unsuccessfully a number of times to make an appointment with our Chancellor, Deane VW. Malott. Finally, as my time was running out before the expiration of your deadline on the 25th, I called the Chancellor over the phone and read him your wire. As I suspected, he was not overly enthusiastic. He is a member of our Rotary Club and I asked if I could see him at the Rotary meeting, but he had other appointe ments. I sent the wire to you without getting an approval from the Chancellor, feeling that I wanted you to know that I was very anxious to serve. I told the Chancellor at an Athletic Board meeting once that if I had an opportunity to get a commission that, while I would not seek one, I would certainly accept one if it were offered me. On Tuesday morning, the 26th, I had aneppointment with the Chancellor and he was very adamant that I had no right to send the wire that I did. I had consulted other peopia and they were very sure that the Chancellor would not fail to honor the wegen’ 3 if it came through, but up to the present he had. I have been very active in war work here, being secretary of the Selective Service Board, was chairman of the Douglas County Red Cross @g@ War Pund drive last fall, chairman of our War Nursery Comittee, and also serve as University chairman for all the various bond drives, as well as a number of other boards connected with the war effort. Having been in the first World War, but never having an opportunity to get across, I thought I might be of some service in your outfit, and for that reason I felt the request might be granted. I have a son in the army Medical Corps and have helped with the war effort in every possible way. The Chancellor stated to me that he had never released a civilian for the war effort, except when the men were offered comaissions. The Chance ellor is serving on the Army Aviation Committee and with other war industries and I thought he would see the perallel of this situation. lis statement to — me was that they are starting on a new athletic era, that the football tean is going fairly good, and that they had no one to take my place for basket- ball. Ernie Quigley stated to me that it would be possible for him to secure a basketball coach. So there you are. The Chancellor asked that a copy of your wire be left with his secretary, as well as a copy of my wire to you. He was going to take it up with the Board of Regents, but he doubted whether the Board would approve my going. I felt in fairviess to the whole situation that I should notify you of the exact status so that you would be in position to look at the overall picture. You mention that our going depends entirely upon the wishes of the ——s general. I am wondering if there is any possible way that if oe Se general should express his wishes they might be conveyed to chie: I certainly want to help the best way possible, and I do not feel that coaching a basketball team on home soil is the best way to do it. The Chancellor countered vy saying, “We will release you Maroh 1 after ~~ basketball season is over." I told the Chancellor very definitely that the armed forces apparently knew pretty well when they wanted this personnel used over there and that March lst would be too late. Do you not agrees with me in this? I shall regard anything that you might say to me entirely confidential, end will thank you for a reciprocal attitude.
