Mr. Forrest C. Allen,

Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Phog:

The delay in V-Day means that we have changed our planning
considerably. There is no immediate prospect of needing your
services. I certainly would not want to have you break with your
present position.

We have had excellent response from the various coaches and
if V-Day continues to be delayed as much as it looks like at the
moment, we would probably want to use the basketball coaches after
their active seasons. Meanwhile, we may select a few who are
immediately available to try out sample clinics in some of the
theaters already inactive. We would not use men for this purpose
who are actively engaged.

Sincerely,

Eade in
HENRY W. CLARK,
Lt. Col., GS. C.,

Chief, Athletic Branch.
