lire John Bentley
The Journal
Lincoln, Nebraska

Dear John:

In Bob Busby's Sports Buzz in the Maily Journal World, as of
Tuesday, March 11, he quotes you in part as follows; “Remember the time
he (Allen) has his players change jerseys at the half in the Tournament
game in Kansas City§ I'll bet that was the first time 4m all the basketball
experience of the Coach at Utah State that he has ever heard of anything
like that." :

_ Like most accurate sports writers'coments this statement was
substantially correct, This story recalls to my mind an incident of a
fellow who rather boastfully said, "I have a friend in Baltimore who made
$100,000 in six months manrfacturing the new sanforized shirte" ‘This
fellow said to his friend, “Isn't that right, Bill?" "Well," he said,
“It is substantially correet. Instead of Baltimore it was Kansas City,
and instead of manufacturing shirts it was overalls, and instead of making
$100,000 he lost $100,000." _

Frankly, I believe that the coaches should share some of the
odium of the inaccuracies that appear in the sports columns because the
coaches hardly ever inform the sport writers of the correct version of the |
thinge

In order to cooperate with you John, old pal, I feel it my pleasant
duty to inform you regarding the changing-shirt episode when we played Utah State.
This is the first time that this story has been released fron captivity, and
_ as far as I lmow I have never seen the incident eorrectly described,

, In 1936, our Big-Six schools, in their endeavor to help the Olympic
Fund, each paid their owm expenses to Kansas City for a basketball play-off
tournament. The amount expended or contributed by each school toward the
expense was $200.00. Nebraska and Missouri of Big-Six schools, together with
the Oklahoma Aggies, entered the Tournaments You will recall this incidents |
I:was selected to manage the Tournament. Kansas won the play-off, defeating
the Oklahoma Aggies in the Final. We were then matched with ttah State |
to determine the team that would play in the Finals in New Yorke

It happened that I was in the identical position that I found myself
in last year. i had @ team in the Tournament and yet I wes managing the
affeire All the teams competing in the first and second Tournament were supposed
toe carry their traveling set of uniforms as well as their home team wmiformse :
Kansas and Utah State were supposed te play a series of games, the best two out
of three to determine the winner, — |

 
 
Mr. John Bentley | Page Two Mar. 12,1941

I asked Dick Romney if he had not brought his two sets of
uniforms. He said that he had only brought one set, and that was the
white uniform with @ blue sash runing through ite So he wore the white
and we wore the red for the first two games» However, I was convinced, or
at least I heda Innoh that Diek Rommey had another set of uniforms.

I might add that my own players came to me and said, “We have
been wearing red all the time. Why can't we wear our white uniforms?"
Old Convention Hall wag not well lighted and the white suits showed up much
bétter than the rede The players wearing the white uniforms were much
easier to pick ovt than if they wore any other colore

Noble and Fbling said, “We believe if we wear the white uniform
we will go better." I said, "All right, I tell you what we will do. We
will wear white and see if Utah State doesn’t have another set of uniforms,"
We wore the white under our warmeups and when the whistle blew for the
start of the game we peeled off our warmeups and we had white suite and they
had white suits with the blue sashe Rommey immediately sent back to the
Kansas City Athletic Club for his traveling set of uniforms which were dark
navy blue with the white sash. They called timewout and changed theme

_ Personally I feel that was a neutral court and Kensas owed no more
courtesy to Utah State by wearing colored uniforms than Utah State owed a
courtesy to Kansas of telling the truth and further, the added responsibility
of the necessity of carrying two sets of vniformte I have never felt like
apologizing to anyone who prevaricates merely for their own advantages

| If you do not believe every word of this I would suggest that you
just mail this epistle to Dick Romney and got hie version of ite

I believe that our boys are as sporting as any outfit and my cone
viction is that our reputation is as cood as the other fellows. With no |
desire to sweeten the pot, but with the pride that comes from receiving letters
such as we have received from the manager of the Michigan thion, I am sending
you @ carbon copy ef the letter that was written to Chancellor Deane We Malott
and to me from Mrs Stanley Ge Waltz, Manager, Michigan Union, These letters
are self-explanatory and I might add further that we had no lmowledge whatsoever
that such letters were being written. | | ;

We will feel confident in the fact that when zood and bad sporting |
exhibitions are compared, that Kansas will not suffer umidulye

Dear Mr. Raport:

The rating of these samples is good
from a bacteriological standpoint.

In our swimming pool ratings, samples
which show a bacterial count of not over 200 bacteria
per cubic centimeter are given a rating of excellent.
The good rating is used for samples showing bacterial
count of over 200- Samples showing the presence of
coliform organisms are given ratings of fair and un-
satisfactorye Usually samples showing a residual
chlorine content of .6 parts per million, as these
samples did, have a bacterial count of less than 200.

If you wish to have regular analyses
made will you please come to the laboratory for

sterilized bottles and we can make arrangements for
additional analyses.

Very truly yours,
