Dear Chet: We were glad to have you warm the Kansas bench. ‘The boys enjoyed seeing you and although I was terribly busy I was glad to have a short visit with you. We really surprised ourselves on the eastern swing because I did not think we would win any games, let alone win them all. Chet, regarding Lt. Zarl W. Brown's desire to have a book sent C.0.D., we have never done that due to the fact that there is always a danger of mail going astray. If you will have Lt. Brown make a check or money order payable to me for $4.00 I will be glad to autograph a book and put what he desires on the fly page and mail it to him postpaid. I am afraid $4.00 might be more than he cares to pay, and if a book is autographed and sent back it is of no use. I have never mailed a book C.0.D., but it will be only a few Se en ee ee ee ae eee to me. Give Sergeant Joe Gallager my very best regards. He left word at the Buffalo athletic Club that he would like to see us pley and I | chence to talk to him and left him some tickets. He was always a Kansas fan when he was playing with the Kansas City Blues. Tell Sergeant Joe that Rey Evans, who played our guard, was always raving mad about Joe's home run hits. fell Sergeant Joe for me that I am in the same fix. Many times 1 have sat in the bleachers and seen him pound at home plate with his big bat and then knock one over the left field for a home run. en He has a lot of followers on the Kansas basketball team, and included among a ee Oe We should have beaten Fordham 20 points in the Seiiahc We missed porn) and then we had a 14 point lead when Charlie Black went out. But a one point win is good enough. We will try to dig up some slogans for you. Lots of good luck. Sincerely yours, , | Direotor of Physical Education, FPCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

Dr. Forest © Allen, Department Physical Education, Univérsity of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Dr. Allen: Thank you for letting me warm the Kansas bench once again. I really think it is a great team, they looked excellent, and I know they will be one of the top ranking teams by the end of the year. Lt. Eart W. Brown, Physical Training Officer of a Tow Target Squadron, here on the Field, is interested in care and prevention of injuries, and Fundamentals of Basketball contained in your book "Better Basketball¥ If possible please send an autographed copy ©. 0. D. to Lt. Brown. His address is, 4th Tow Target Squadron, Army Air Base, Hunter Field, Savannah, Ga, Also if possible have Dean give Miss Hulteen a list of those "inspiring" slogans so that I may slap them all over the walls of my spectacular new dressing and training room. The only thing I have on my walls now is a picture of yours and your toilet kit illustration which was in the paper recently. Sergeant Joe Gallager, ovr Group dispatcher, who saw Kansas play in Buffalo and is raving mad about the Kansas defense, thinks they ca take Southern California with ease. I would enjoy seeing Kansas University play Fordham a return game at the Auditorium in Lawrence where the team is more accustomed to the back- boards and where they could score the 30 points or more they missed at the Garden. With best wishes for your continued success and regards to Dean and the boys on the team whom I met, I remain, Sincerely yours, as Uertien R Fricellaned CHESTER K.

Physical Educetion University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansase Deer Dr. Allen, I was very heppy to receive your letter in answer to my cerd from 0.0.8. Since then I was commissioned and eee? the Sith Bomb. Group as Physical Training 9 ceTo When I arrived at this base I found physical training in e drastic state. Lack of fields, poor ground and only one period a day available for Athletics. The men were doing alternate running and walking on the hard roads and use of the obstacle course. The program was distasteful and conse~ quentle the morale was pretty low. Since I started a well rounded program of comtetive athletics and ae required progrem of training that is interesting because of its variety and still is conditioning, it is remarkable to note the increasing interest and enthusiasm among e211 the men and officers. It's funny "Doc® whenever I hit the nail on the head I have to write end tell You about it as it always relates back to the basketball Class at K.U. or some material I prepared from "Better Basketball” It looked like rain this afternoon, and I took all the officers into the Gym that was recently made very attractive, especially for basketball. The Commanding officer appeared for the physical training class for the first time since Ive been here, and after the hour of a combination of calisthenics, sprinting, basketbell relays, "machinegunning the receiver," crows and crains" etc. then breaking of into team games, #6. seemed to be pretty sold on the new seteup. He liked the idea of getting a special dressing room for officers and build- ing some treating tables especially for flying officers who se muscles become so hypertensed while flying. I intend to train some enlisted men to do the treating. The men who need P.T. the most are the flying officers, and they have been the hardest ones to get out. The attendance has been in- creasing every day and with the new training room, 1 know theywill be eager to come out. In addition I hope to . get scales, keep a bulletin board showing the results U and progress on physical fittness tests, and also the results of the basket-ball league for officers we just started. Any suggestions you heave will be greatly appreciated. I can't remember the many, slogans you had in the dressing room, but I believe they would begood to have around a combat outfit such as this Bomb group. Would also like some pictures of K.U. in action (in Basket-Ball) to place around my office. Incidentally I have my own office clerk end many enlisted men working for me. Can't think of anything better than decorating the office with some of those shots if you have any duplicates. ; If you have any of the above material on hand and some good suggestions at the tip of your tongue I know it would help the progrem here, but by all means don't go through any trouble to obtain these requests. I'm always happy to hear from you, and now that I'm so closely connected with physical education I expect to correspond with you more often.

S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION WARTIME COMMISSION September 1, 1942 HE Educational Policies Commission has pub- lished the statement that, ‘‘the health, safety, and physical education program in the elementary and secondary schools and in higher institutions, should be given a high order of priority among com- peting educational interests.” In a study conducted by the American Council: on Education and the Na- tional Committee on Education and Defense, the first generalization drawn from the interviews with officers of the armed services relating to pre-induction training needs for enlisted men was that, “a more definite and consistent program for physical fitness should be de- veloped and required of all students.” The resolutions and recommendations adopted by the National Confer- ence of College and University Presidents held in Bal- timore on January 4, 1942, included the statement, “that all colleges and universities should take such steps as will be necessary to bring each individual student to his highest possible level of physical fitness.” The Divisional Committee on Higher Education of the Wartime Commission authorized N. P. Neilson to serve as chairman of a committee to study the problem and bring in a report. On May 7, 1942, a letter was sent to the officials of twelve national professional or- ganizations and to selected individuals in thirty-five colleges and universities asking them to submit their recommendations to the chairman of the committee. The chairman summarized the recommendations re- ceived and on September 1, 1942, the United States Office of Education Wartime Commission adopted the following report. 2 General Statements Physical fitness has a direct relationship to national defense. Good programs for health, physical educa- tion, and recreation yield important results related to physical fitness and hence to national defense whether the individual is to serve at the war front, in industry, or at home. The term “fitness of the individual” or “fitness pro- gram” might well be substituted forthe term “physical fitness” to avoid prolonging the false concept of mind and body as separately functioning parts of the organ- ism. Hence, ‘physical fitness” in a broad sense is health; it involves the prevention of disease, the cor- rection of remediable defects, good nutrition, muscular strength, endurance, basic motor skills, mental health, and morale. A person is said to be physically fit when he is free from handicapping defects and infections, practices good mental hygiene, and has the knowledge, skills, strength, and endurance to engage successfully in the activities which life demands of him. In time of war life demands on the human organism are greater than in times of peace. siological differences among living organisms must be recognized. All men and women are not born equal in structure and function and there is no known method by which all persons can develop an equal degree of strength, skill, and endurance. It follows, therefore, that there will always be a necessary differ- entiation between those displaying a high degree of fitness and those with lesser degrees. No stigma should be attached to the latter group unless there is demonstrated neglect, indifference, and unwillingness to achieve the highest fitness possible. To attain physical fitness there must be a complete medical examination of the individual to determine his physical structure and capacity. After this initial examination, a program to provide for the necessary correction of physical defects and faulty health prac- tices and the improvement of physical development can be carried out. No matter how vigorously a pro- gram of physical development by exercise alone is pursued this cannot compensate for inherent or acquired structural and physiological abnormalities. On the other hand the complete correction of physical defects will not build organic power; this can be built only through physical education activities of great intensity and duration. Health Service The function of the student health service program in colleges and universities is two-fold: first, the im- mediate care of ills and maladjustments; and second, the directing of student thought and habits into a sane and balanced regime of living. It is recommended that: 1. A thorough health examination, medical and dental, be made of all students (a) upon entrance, (b) periodically thereafter, and (c) after each confin- ing illness. 2. The seasonal examination of all varsity and intra- Reprinted from HeattH anv PuysicaL Epucation, October 1942—J305 mural athletes be a routine of departmental adminis- tration. 3. The health examination be so organized and con- ducted that it will: (a) result in obtaining more com- plete information for guidance purposes; (b) result in sharing the findings with the student as an educa- tional experience; (c) result in a follow-up program which will actually secure the correction of remediable handicapping defects revealed in the health examina- tion. 4. Every attempt be made to help men who have been rejected for service, because of defects, to correct - those defects through appropriate medical treatment, surgery, and physical education activities. 5. Institutions provide adequate programs of im- munization for the control of communicable diseases. 6. Colleges and universities expand their facilities for health service, if needed, even though such facili- ties must be housed in temporary quarters. 7. Medical advisors and physical educators utilize their strategic positions to supplement and reinforce each other and those who work in other departments in making the values of the health and physical educa- tion programs become a functional part of students’ lives. Health Instruction It is recommended that: 1. Colleges and universities provide well-adapted programs of instruction in health information suited to today’s needs and stressing the development of atti- tudes and practices. Emphasis should be on solutions to problems in the areas of personal hygiene,- mental hygiene, nutrition, foundations of physical fitness, and community health. Instruction in nursing, first aid, safety, lifesaving, camp hygiene and sanitation, and in the principles of fatigue and relaxation is also impor- tant. 2. Every college student be given adequate and ap- propriate instruction about the prevention, care, and treatment of all communicable diseases with special attention to the venereal diseases. 3. Every student complete the elementary First- Aid Course as outlined by the American Red Cross and that the Red Cross allow this course and the Advanced Course to be taught in colleges and univer- sities by instructors who are competent. 4. There be a survey and correction of campus con- ditions and practices which increase accident hazards. 5. The college or university survey the work, rest, and relaxation habits of its students and help students to make desirable adjustments. College students show strain and fatigue which can be reduced by better scheduling and more desirable campus activities. 6. That the institution survey its entire nutrition program for students to result in ascertaining: (a) the adequacy of nutrition information, the food re- quirements and actual food habits of its students; (b) the resources in nutrition-trained personnel, actual or potential within the institution or community, for giv- ing required non-technical nutrition instruction and counseling, and for supervising food services; (c) steps to secure good nutrition for students where their incomes are inadequate to pay for it. : 7. Opportunities for individual conferences on health: problems be greatly extended. a Environment It is recommended that: 1. The institution assume responsibility for creating a healthful campus and community environment. This means constant attention to environmental conditions so that they are conducive to healthful living. It. means the adequate sanitary inspection of all facilities to protect students and to furnish an example of the practice of maintaining sanitary standards. Physical Education It is clear that the program of physical education for men should receive special study in terms of atti- tudes and skills needed for service in the armed forces and that the program for women be adjusted to the demands for wider participation in war industries and other types of war service. However, it is necessary to avoid confusing the pre-training of all students with the specific demands coming from the war services. The needs of civilians are not the same as those for soldiers, nor are the needs of women the same as those of men. Some of the physical education activities are of more immediate importance for the war. effort than others and it is assumed that the colleges and universities will give more emphasis to these activities. Develop- mental activities that contribute to strength and endur- ance have general conditioning value; they enable the potential draftee to meet tests of endurance and _ per- form difficult physical feats with the economy of effort that comes from good skill and physical condition. The competitive spirit developed in athletics is a con- tributing factor in the will to win which is so essential in military service. It is recommended that : 1. Instruction be given in connection with the phys- ical education program, designed to give the students an understanding of the place and importance of phys- ical fitness in life, and particularly now in relation to the war effort. 2. Physical education programs be re-evaluated to place greater and continuous emphasis upon: (a) con- ditioning exercises for endurance or the ability to re- sist fatigue; (b) strengthening the muscles of the trunk, arms, and legs; (c) combative and other types of aggressive activities; (d) swimming and_ taking care of oneself in and on the water; (e) recreative activities appropriate for military camps, ships, and for living in times of peace; (f) first aid and the pres- ervation of life under conditions of war and peace; (g) rehabilitation of those not fit. Ditch jumping, wall scaling, maze running, obstacle relays, the throwing of objects, tumbling, running, combative sports and fundamental conditioning gym- nastics have direct military value. Morale-contrib- uting activities include all recreative sports. They * keep spirits high and are a tonic to offset strain, worry, and tragedy. 3. The time allotment for physical education activi- ties for all students be no less than one hour daily. The program should be adapted to individual needs and be required of all students for graduation. A great deal can be done to improve physical education pro- grams in colleges and universities through the simple method of increasing the time devoted to physical edu- cation. 4. Credit be given for physical education with the number of units comparable to those given for other college courses. The institution should accept for en- trance, credits in physical education earned in high schools. If it is expected that the student consider physical education important, credit should be given to show him that the institution also considers it impor- tant. 5. College faculties adjust the schedule of classes and laboratory periods so as to allow for the maximum use of the afternoon periods for physical education and recreational activities. 6. Standard physical fitness tests be given to all stu- dents to determine more accurately their needs in diversified activities. 7. Programs of intercollegiate and intramural ath- letics be reorganized to provide: (a) full playing op- portunities for all students; (b) improved methods of classification and equalization of competing units; (c) broader programs to satisfy the diverse interests and needs of students. 8. Military drill not be considered as a satisfactory substitute for physical education in any college or uni- versity. Spokesmen for our armed forces have repeat- edly emphasized the importance of continuing and ex- panding the physical education program. Military drill and tactics can be conducted best in military units. Recreation In these times of peril we must promote first those activities that contribute to actual survival value in the emergency and next those that give wholesome recreation and diversion. However, accelerated col- lege programs should not eliminate all time for stu- dent recreation. Such programs may call for addi- tional relaxation and physical activities of a body build- ing type. It is recommended that: 1. A campus-wide program of recreation be made available to every student, 2. All schools and departments of the institution contribute to the recreation programs, 3. The college become a recreation center of the College Community. Professional Education With expanding programs there is occurring, at the same time, a serious shortage in the number of quali- fied teachers due to teachers entering the armed forces and other kinds of war service other than teaching. In one state it is reported that 426 men physical edu- cation instructors had either left the teaching field, or were expected to leave soon. Against this were 56 men physical education major students, who were given their credentials in June, 1942 in this same state. We need well-trained physical educators, men and women, now and after the war. Teacher-training in- stitutions cannot at present supply the unusual demand for qualified health and physical education teachers. It is recommended that : 1. Teacher-training institutions use every means at their command to encourage more men and women to major in physical education. 2. Institutions accelerate the training program for students majoring in health and physical education. 3. Institutions extend to all students the opportunity to acquire leadership skills in conducting programs of sports and recreation. 4. The college or university set up courses to train volunteer, as well as professional, leaders in the various aspects of the “fitness” program in which they could appropriately serve with short-term training. 5. Institutions organize recreational leadership courses to train those who have certain talents needed for the morale-building program in both military and civilian life. General Recommendations It is recommended that : 1. A Commission be appointed to include representa- tives from the Armed Services, United States Office of Education, the United States Public Health Service, the United States Children’s Bureau, the health-medical sciences, physical education and recreation to assure coordination of the physical fitness program on the federal level. 2. Federal or state funds be provided with which to secure the correction of remediable defects for col- lege students who do not have the necessary financial resources. Colleges and universities might well super- vise under federal grants, the rehabilitation programs for college student rejectees from the armed services. 3. The programs of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation be combined into one administrative unit under a competent administrator and that the faculty give consideration first to health and fitness, and sec- ond to curricular requirements. A committee with representatives from the various schools and depart- ments should be formed for the purpose of unifying and coordinating the total health and fitness program of the institution. 4. The local medical and dental societies and repre- sentatives of official and voluntary health agencies be invited to participate in the initial planning and take part in the development of physical fitness programs in the college or university. 5. As far as possible institutions increase and 1m- _prove their facilities and equipment for the programs in health, physical. education, and recreation. 6. The college or university extend its service along “fitness” lines to the adult population in the community adjacent to the institution. 7. The United States Commissioner of Education send the report adopted by the Wartime Commission to the Presidents of all colleges and universities and strongly recommend that they make every effort to put the recommendations into effect as rapidly as possible.

Fuller, Fuller Grain Board of Trade Building, Kansas City, Mo. — Shen Mr. Fuller: Thank you for your fine letter of November 29th. I am sorry that we do not yet have our supply of printed schedules of our basketball games, but I am enclos- ing a typed copy which will give you the dates. The Iowa City Pre-Flight school found it necessary to cancel their game with us on January 25th, end since there have been one or two other changes we have delayed in getting the printed schedules. However, X wild be happy to send you a supply as soon as possible. T am happy to know that you are getting the _ Lawrence Journal-iiorld, and I am sure that a subscription to the University Daily Kansan will give you still further information on basketball news. I believe the subsoription to the University paper from now until the end of the basket-— ball season will be about $1.50. | We are extremely busy with our conditioning — program in the Department of Physical Education, and I find — do my coaching at night. 3 tape Mak yin wOtE Aw ake be ons anie Of our games in Lawrence, as well as those in Kansas City.

November 29, 1942 Dr. F. C.Allen Director, Physical Education Univerd ty of Karsas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: With tl start of basketball season so close at hand, here I am to annoy you with ca@respondence. In spite of gasoline rationing, I hope to see a few games in Lawrence as your a pearances tere in Kansas City this season, will not be enough to satisfy me. So, will you please semi your schedule. I wish to congratulate yar m the excellent jo you are doing for the armed forces in your Physical Education Department, but sin- cerel y hope that it does not take any of your’time from the vardity basketball squad. You see, I am a little selfish in this. I am subscribing to the Lawrence Journal World as I bel ieve it may give a little more inside basketball news than the Kansas City paper. If you believe that the Kansan has still mae basket ball news I will subscribe to it as I did the last year my daughter was in school. Very best regards and wishing tle team a successful season, Sincerel y, Pe We. W. Fuller WWF :sALF December 3, 1942. Mr. Milo Parneti, University Daily Kansan. Dear Milo: I notice in your story in Tuesday's Kansan you said there will be no more home games until Jenuary 4th.
