12 July 1944

Dear Dr. Allen:

Can't tell you how happy I was to receive your Jay~Hawk
Rebounds - they bring back memories of old times and the boys are really
doing a good job in the war.

Noticed in your last edition that Charlie Black was at Will
Rogers Field and one of our sub-bases - Coffeyville.- He would really
make a combination with Ed Milkovich, All American from Duqiesne University,
who is stationed here. We had a fine record last year =--were the only
team, other than the Phillips’ Giters, to beat the Navy Skyjackets and we
beat them twice.

Was wondering if you intend having some kind of basketball coaching
clinic this summer. I would like to goto Lawrence and take a couple boys
from this base, if possible. A clinic is being held in Tulsa and one in
Oklahoma City but would much rather attend one that you conduct. The sports
writer was telling me you have conducted clinics in Oklahoma City in the
past.

   
  
 
  
 

My twin daughters are getting along fine. They look, so much > 8 34
alike I can hardly tell them apart now. Heard from Bill Bunson a couple 139
weeks ago. He just completed his fourth year in the Navy and is now

stationed somewhere with the Pacific fleet. He has a wife and baby that he
certainly would like to see.

Doc, how about putting Will Rogers Field on your schedule when
you come to Oklahoma next year? Am sure we could give you a good game and
I know the boys would enjoy staying at Will Rogers Field if they can.
There is nothing I would like better than a game with Kansas.

Our physical training program is getting along fine. We have
been emphasizing competitive sports and have been getting the most out of
our men in this heat.

Hope to hear from you soon. Give my regards to anybody around
that I may know.

With best wishes, I remain
Sincerely,

ULF
