Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:-

It seems that I come to you only when I am in
trouble but I know of no one in whom I have more
confidence.

My yo@nger boy has had Asthma or some kind of
bronchial disorder for the past five years. He is
eight years old now. He has also developed some
Hay Fever this fall. We have tried all sorts of medicine
and several different physicians and have had no
apparent relief. He starts out with a head eold and
after a few days develops a hacking cough and then
chokes up in his breathing for from 24 to 36 hourse
When it breaks he is left limp almost but may seem to
be alright and not have another spell for several weeks.

I wanted to have your opinion as to what effect
Osteopathic treatments might have on his condition.
I know you are not in a position to treat him but felt
that your advice would be sinwere and that you might
suggest someone here who could be depended on.to give
the treatments if it is your Judgement that they ought
to be given.

If you could tell more by seeing hia I will
drive out some time soon.

Mrs Morrow and Mildred join me in sincere
regards to you and your family.

Sincerely,

as Ta

Dear Jerry: ; | |

Better Basketball arrived in good shape and thank you for
returning the same. Yos, Willer's loss is causing us some concern,
but we will have to play without him this year. ;

Iam also aclnowledging receipt of your letter of the 24th
instant regarding the basketball yarn that you spoke of. I assure you
that I will be very happy to cooperate with you in any way that you

I believe you can get up a swell story because I had known
Dre Naismith for 40 years, and was associated with him for $5. ‘That
means only 15 years of the game that he and I had no connection whatsoever.

9 =I have had a pretty successful basketball coaching
iversity, Baldwin, Kansas; Haskell Institute here at
Missouri State Teachers College in Warrensburg;

and for the last 22 years I have been here at the University of Kansase

Now the third reason; I am not a medical doctor but an osteopathic
physicians. I was injured in playing football in western Kansas, and after
having been unsuccessfully treated for five ‘years by medical doctors, an
osteopath corrected a bad sacro-iliac sprain, and because of that it made.
such an impression on me that I studied it for the benefit that I could
give to other people, especially in the coaching field, last year Rddie
Shore of Springfield, Massachusetts Hockey Club sent one of his players
here from Springfield for me to work ome I have them come to me fron
@1ll over the United States, but we do not publicize that.

Here is the thing, Jerry, that I wish you would not do. Do
not mention osteopathy, but you can say I am a physician, and that causes
no hard feelingse I have uncles, nephews, and my own son who is playing
on the basketball team is graduating this year with an A.B., but all his work
4s preemedic and he is goimz to Harvard after this year's graduation to take
his medical work there unless the war interfers, and it mays

While I was athletic director hére at the University I founded
the Kansas Relay, and about ten years ago we founded the Fatiomal Basketball
“caches Association, when the Rules Committee took the dribble out of
basketballs

 
I have coached football, basketball, baseball and track, so
have had rather a varied experience as a coache Also I have athletic
trainers at five of the large schools in the country, 411 of whon I .
have developeds Jimmy Cox at Harvard University, Roland Logan at West
Point Military Academy, Milton "Mike" Kelly at the University of Texas,
Elwyn Dees at the University of Nebraska, and Dean Nesmith at the University
of Kansas heres | You will recall the correspondence we had last yeare

Now, ecuieting the voley eapy .qnub at Vested, the fact that
T a eeldsends OF the Restareh. Oeamitteo of the National Basketball Rules
Committee, and also chairman of the National Collegiate Athletic Association,
Fifth District, would give me plonty of opportunity to express myself regard-
ing the exnsting strain and grind that the participants are subjected toe

- have suggested that we rotate the center jump, just as you would
have a batting order in baseball. The two coaches would give their lineeup
and we would have the players rotate for the jumping in their regular jumping
orders Personally, I do not believe that the center jump will ever come
back, and you could, of course, state thats. But.I do believe that basketball
as it is played now is too strenuous for the nag school shad unless we slow
it down after a field goale : .

Go a iJ WAAL de glad So advance the thedey nd collabwete with you
on taking a erack at this hurricane game of basketball that the public
thinks they like but they are saerificing skill and speed and causing too

now for high school boyse

Dr. Forrest C. Allen
Varsity Basketball Coach
University of Kansas

Dear Phog:

Once again I am about to uous upon your good graces
for a basketball yarn. As you probably know, this year marks
the 50th anniversary of the game, and with that in mind I have
an idea for what I think will be a really swell story.

You might not agree with the angle I shall present
to you, but there are three big reasons why you would figure
so prominently in the story. (1) Because of your association
with Dr, Naismith, inventor of the game. (2) Because of your |
long and most ‘successful career in coaching ranks. (3) Because,
you also are a medical doctor.

The last reason is important baelbe 1 would like
to do a story which would state that basketball in the final
analysis is the ROUGHEST, FASTEST, AND MOST EXACTING UPON ITS
PARTICIPANTS of any sport in the book, )

In the first place, I'm convinced it 4s, myself, and.
I've heard a lot of competent critics say the same. However, Lit
would carry a lot more weight if you, one of the game's out-
standing coaches, and at the same time a physician, would ~
advance these theories.

Of course, you may not agree with me. But if you
agree I am sure you can give us a few ideas which could be
incorporated into a perfectly swell yarn, and one which would
attract a lot of comment. We could trace the devlopment of the
game, showing how it gradually became faster and faster, more
exacting upon the players, until mt reached the point where
today it s the fastest, toughest thing afloat.

I'd appreciate a line or two indicating your feelings
on the matter,

Best regards,

L aa.

confidence in our ability to make the journey to Hawaii. There are so many
_ people out on the coast in the colleges and wniversities who desire to make
that trip that their pressure and promotion outranks the midlanders. But,
of course, if yeu could do amy good we would be glad to turn a receptive
ear in that directions Howover, with the little almond-eyed boys raising
cain I em afraid that our younger generation will be casting their sights

You asked about Tom Weodwards Yee, indeed, I imow him very well;
in fact, I wrote a letter to his mothor lest week on the death of Tom's
fathers lHowover, I did not know that Tom was out there with you. Give
him my kindest regards and extend to him my deepest and heartfelt sympathy
_ in the loss of his splendid father. His father was a personal friend of

mine, but I did not get to attend the funeral as I. was out of. town at the
time of the death and the fmeral. —

We are putting on a Community Chest drive here and I happen to be
chairman of the KeU» drive here on the hill. The YMCA drive came just previously
and I was assigned to this building, but on the Comunity Chest, which is the
first united drive of this kind for Lawrence, I have the whole hill and what a
job it ite . :

iem starting my basketball practice with the loss of three seniors:
Voran, Ebling and Harp, and the loss of Miller from a trick knee. He has had
both cartliages removeds the external one last imy, so he is laid out this year
thinking that ho will play next year, but I believe he will be playing on Uncle
Sam's outfit before he will represent the Crimson and Blue of Kansase

Dear "Cob":

It is alweys nice to heer from you. I feel es if a letter —
that comes with biue printing and blue typing ie not indicative
of blue Monday, but rether e cheery note from an old friend.

"Gob", Tem going to be perfectly frank with you. Henry
Iva told mo at a meeting in Topeke when we were cosching to-
gether in the Kensas State High School Coaches School that a
personality at the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company made a
statement that he was going to get besketbell material for Bruce :
Dreke so that Bruce could whip both Henry Iva and Phog Allens
‘iow Hank was not trying to scare me but his voice sounded as if
he had a truthful ring in ite a

. Bruce has beat the country looking for material more then
any other basketball coach that I know of who is in a respect-
able institution. He has attended the O'rlahoma, the Kensas, the
Missouri, and almost every other high school tournament that I

 

Sow Hank @id not tell mo this but someone very definitely

on the insi@e who should Imow did. This was that this Tucker
was to stay at the Phi Delt house in Oklahoma, thet he was to

_ get hie beard, room, tuition, end all living expenses save the
$8 Phi Delt dues, but for that he was te work one hour a day
taxing care of the recreation rooms In addition, he was to get
@ special voice teacher and no charge wes te be made Tucker for
thet. Furthermore, he was to get a job with Bruce Dreke that
paid him $15 per month for his spending money. Now can you tie
that, ire “cob"? :

 

 

vaybe a lot of this is baloney, but I know that Bruce
called on Tucker time and time again end he was definitely sold
on Okiehoma and not on Kansas States : oe

Bruce Drake said in this morning*s "Kensas City Times“
thet old Phog Allen was jealous because Tucker passed up Kansas
first and went to Kensas State and then he passed up Kansas again

 
and went to Oklahoma. I ask you, does a fellow want a case of
small pox?

I am very sure that if Comnissioner Atherton of the Pacif-=
ic Coast were commissioner of the Big Six, he would declare ir.
fucker ineligible to compete at any plece in the Conference. {i
would not be surprised to see something still happen, and I do
not believe thet you can blame Ure Tucker as you can blame some
coaches who have been tremendously interested in seeing the boys.
migrate even after they hed count toon tes

Frankly, I tell you Edn. not dekh bie 00 ny prices He te
a marked man in this Conference end I would not want to be Bruce
Drake or Gerald Tucker when that team visits Wenhetten or Lawrences.
Personally, I have never been afraid of the “Boy from Winfield",
and I think we will do a sizable job in taking care of the young
man when we meet him. I am not sorry beeause I have been feé
up on these sters who feel that they Imow more than the coaches.
And if I am a good prognosticator, I figure the boy will make |

Dear Doc:

I returned to my deskthis morning to find your
good letter. It came while I was out on a three-day
trade trip with some of the members of the Jobbers and
Manufacturers League.

It was good to have an account of the team. Yes,
our boys are big from ‘tackle to tackle and plenty dumb,
but this ball club will be in somebody's bowl next year.
They have too much talent on the loose not to click.

You are quite right about Kansas's exceptionally
nice showing.

Doc, I am quite certain you have been given some
unfortunate information with reference to the 0.G.&H.'s
connection with Tucker. These folks are pretty good
boosters, but not in the proselyting business, They
furnish some 0. C. U. boys jobs but do not take care of
any of Tom or Bruce's kids. |

THis company is headed by J. F. Owens, President, and
a former Iola school teacher and their local division
manager is Glenn C. Kiley, one of Doc. Meanwell's boys.
The writer had Kiley at one of our K.U, Luncheons and he
has been a very fine admirer of yours.

I hope we can straighten out this tangle to your
and their satisfaction.

_ “PAPER IS OUR BUSINESS AND NOT A SIDE LINE”
 

To me Tucker's transfer to 0. U. stinks to high
heaven, and I am surprised that Bruce andTom did not
meet him at the train with a board and a nail and run
him back. This sort of stuff can't go on.

Thank you again and if we can be of any assistance
to you, please feel free to call on me. You will get
the basketball personnel later.

Dear Docs

I am sorry that I have been so long in getting around to corresponding
with you but I have really been busy since school let out. I had my nose operated
on the Monday after school was out. I was only laid up in the hospital for a week
and then I was back on my feet againe My side where the bone was removed was the
“only sore part of the operation, the rest didn't bother me a bite I was up in
Lawrence about a week ago but it was a very brief visit. I am sorry that I could
not have spent more time there so that 1 could have had a chance to see youe I
went swimming at the pool out on the Topeka highway with some rushees,

I have been working down here at Dads office since the week after I
got out of the hospital. i have a chance to take a little vacation in tha latter
part of August and go to Rochester, New York. My aunt wants me to come and see
her. She said that if I would come she would pay all of the expenses, so I guess
I'll go.

i have been shooting a few baskets here and there but it is too hot
for a good workout. I will have to get that jumping rope I guess and start limber-
ing up some.

Say if you ever get over here in the city please give me a ring will
you? I sure would be tickled pink to see you.

I sort of got reckless before finals this last semester and loafed too
much the ist gk before them. My grades werent at all good. I passed everything but
the grades were so bad that it hurts my conscience to mention them. It just goes
to show you that the game isn't over until the final gun goes off. I have really
got to settle down and do some studying this coming year and only too well do I
realize the facte

Dear Dr. Allen:

The swift moving events of last summer and my presence at the
Fourth Army Manuevers with thé Nebraska National Guard, no
doubt, was responsible for no action being taken on your letter
of last July 24th.

I do regret the fact that the basketball record for the Big Six
Conference lacked our report to make it complete, and will try
to do better in the future.

Sincerely hope you have had an enjoyable and profitable summer
and will be looking forward to seeing you before many days go
bye .

ially yours,
