Dear Dr. Allen:

In preparation for the 1939-40 Series "A" Basketball
Exemination for approving officials, it is necessry
to have the help of men like yourself in submitting
questions for Oswald Tower to use in compiling the
examination. Already, we have orders for these
questions and we cannot distribute them too soon now,

Will you be good enough to send me, by return mail,
five questions on the present revised basketball gules, _
indicating the answer as "Yes" or "No" and giving the

RS,

menue which governs each question? Please do not send

"trick" questions but use only “those which apply to
the rules and which can be answered definitely.

Your cooperation will mesn much toward our service to
the officials, and to the game as it is played during
the coming season.

With kindest regards,

Cordially yours,

  
  

John Brown, Jr.

Dear lirse Brooks .

Last weekeend I passed on your request to
Mire Deli Davidson to mark your temis courts, but
I think the football activities probably prevented
him from getting it done on Saturday. Mre Davidson
suggests that any time you want the courts marked
if you would call his house and leave word there
he could get it done probably sooner than if you
called here at the office. Tis telephone number is

24276 Quite often we leave messages at his house
when we went things done ~ so this is quite in order.

Ses ae ab thee acehien ie

In regard to a lime marker for your tennis
courts, in one of our catalogs I find a small hand
marker for $1.55. This holds enough lime to mark one

courte The better markers are priced from $7025 to $22.

Ono shuffleboard eet (disos and cues) costs
about $5.00.

Dear Mr. Allen.
I wrote you June 6th., asking that my basketball goals furnished you for
test purposes be returned to me and to date have received no answer or
the goals, will you please see that some action is taken on same at once
and have them returned to me or a check to cover cost of same, as [I can
sell them here very easily as there are several College circuits which
will use them whether they are aproved or note There seems to be a lot
of guesswork among the coaches why my goals were not approved this is from
members who attended the meeting. I have been told that it is all up to
yow to approve my goal and if this is so it is worth 5% net earnings to
have it passed without forcing st thru the petition method which the
coaches and Captains of various organizations suggest’.
I think now that we are organized here the goals being assembled in large
lots will retail for around $10.50 per pair.and will carry 4 list price of
$12.00. I expect to enter the hospital to have my left eye removed and
if it is in your power to help me Mr. Allen will you please do so. I am a
good sport and everything will be 0O.K. I am enclosing a bill for the

two nets and hope to hear from you very soon, —

Yours very truly,

Daar Fogs

I have deen waiting at home and at the telephone for your

call or appearance but thought now i better write relative to the

visitwe talked about some time back. Ha. Ha.

Presented your letter to the principal of the school and showed him

how busy a fellow you were going to be about that time and he too

could see that it falls in a period when y6éu are getting ready for

your basketball season and that left only about a couple off dates

open in the week of December xkxk 10th and that simmered down to about
Tuesday Dec 12th or Wed Dec 13th. Now Dr. if that happens to be your busy —
time them we will just have to pospone it until next year and then try tuxget
to get together for a banquet date and in the meantime I may be able to

see you this following weekend to say helloe Best regards to you, Mrs

and the family and if you can give me a reply I will forward it to

the principal of the school here in Order that he can go on with

his plans. Thanking you and remaining as ever,

Your Friend

  
Claflin, Kansas,
October 8th, 1939.

Dear Dr. Allen:
Be prepared for a correspondence shock as no doubt this letter will

come to you as quite a surprise but nevertheless here it is and how

are you and the family.

Conversation with Mr. Anderson, the Claflin School superintendent the
other day brought your name to mention and he conveyed the good wishes
and greetings that you extended the Joe Bloomers through him when he

was in Lawrence this summerand we were glad to have word Pon you, then
he and I both had a similar idea which needs your presence to be complete,

the idea being as follows,

The little town of Claflin holds an annual football banquet every year
for the football boys and I have been wondering why you could'n be the
speaker for that occasion het evening, (and I can't think of anything to
bar you, Ha), and on top of that make it a visit with Evelyn and me as

a side issue, that I know would be most enjoyable to the Bloomers.

Knowing that your time is pretty well spoken for we thought best to let
you name the date if possible between the lst and 16th of December, in-
elusive, If we might make a suggestion, exclude the 6th and if possible
the Saturdays as Claflin is a small town and the merchants are always

busy on Saturday nights, ha.

We certainly hope that you and Mrs Allen can pay us this visit Dr.,
and we will be expecting nothing other than a favorable reply. With

kindest regards to you, Mrs Allen and the family, we remain

My dear Dr. Allen:

I was out of town when your telegram came and
it was several days before I received it. Anyway,
the basketball position had been filled before that
by Everett Nicholson from Arkansas City. I think he
is an excellent man. I am glad that Eddie Wood has
a good job selling cars. He is a good salesman and
deserves to succeed in that field. As you know,
Vanek is at North High School,so Wichita should pro-
duce some better basketball this year than heretofore.

I am most grateful to you for your interest and
wish I might have had one of the boys you had trained
in basketball, for I have great faith in your system.

Our big football boy, McEnulty, is attending
Wichita University. He tried to get a job in Lawrence
and not being able to,decided to take work down here
this year. He is an unusually fine fellow and a good
football player.

School has opened well here in Wichita with
slight increases in the high school and a great in-
crease in interest in athletics. I think we will
do better, at least I hope so.

With best wishes for a splendid Yemt-at K.U.,
I am

Very truly yours,
