Unfortunately Louie Menze's boys had other ideas, so the best that I can do today is to congratulate you on the certainty that Kansas will this year do no worse than tie for the Championship, and I am confident that the boys will take Oklahoma Friday night to win the title and to preserve that phenomenal record of consecutive victories on their home court.

Now, Phog, that seems like ancient history but after writing them about fifteen letters we finally, today, received the ball in exchange for the one which you returned. We have sent you that Basketball by prcel post today, and of course as it was already charged to Kansas sometime ago, this is simply in exchange. 4 I thought I had better write you about the matter because I know you have been wondering why you did not get a more prompt exchange. : With best wishes, remain.

April 7, 1941 Dr.Forrest C. Allen, University of Kansas, Lewrence, Kansas. Dear Phog: I em taking the liberty of answering your letter of April Srd, address- ed to Taft Talbot because Teft is in Oklahoma, and probably will not be back until the latter part of this week. You state you want some Eddie Roush Bats for your Varsity Baseball Squad, and you also state that you prefer bats with big handles. I find on going over the various autogrephed modéls in Louisville Slugger Bats, that Eddie Roush Bats run approximately 5 3/4" circum- ference of the handle at the smallest portion, while most other player's models run only about 34 " on the average in diameter. Therefore I imagine that if you get the regular Eddie Roush Model which we carry, the size of the handle will be satisfactory. Evidently you have some 34" bats that you do not like the length of and it is our understanding that you would like to have some longer ones than 34" in exchange for the 34" ones that you have. At any rate, Phog, we want to give you service on this but if you cannot wait until Taft Talbot gets back at the end of the week, will you kindly let me know just what it is that you do want. With best personal wishes, remain.

Allen, Director of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doc: Received your letter regarding Donaldean Maison of Lyons, Kansas, who was one of the thirty candidates for a scholarship from the Trust Fund, established by Frank Phillips Foundation, Inc. It heppens that I am Secretary of the Committee which administers the scholarships paid from this Fund; however, the restrictions in the Fund are rather definite and the Committee has little flexibility after it has sifted out from the large number of applicants the ten girls and twenty boys who take the nation-wide College Entrance Examination Board test. We have just received from New York the results of these tests and although the Committee has not yet considered them and issued the final awards, it appears that Maison's scores in this test were too low to place him among the six boys who will receive scholarships. This, of course, is confidential information and should not be passed on to Maison until after the public announcement is made. I am inclosing a booklet of regulations on the scholarship fund in case you are interested in reviewing same. From information I obtain here, I take it that all satisfactory arrangements have been consummat to Howard Engleman. Sincerely PE.RB RULES and REGULATIONS Governing Award of Scholarships for the Year 1941 EDUCATIONAL FUND For Children of Phillips Petroleum Company Employees Created by THE FRANK PHILLIPS FOUNDATION Inc. RULES and REGULATIONS Governing Award of Scholarships 1. The primary purpose of the scholarships is to award financial assistance to children of em- ployees of Phillips Petroleum Company and sub- sidiaries who cannot, without such aid, meet the expenses of a college education. Each. student awarded a scholarship will receive, as a gift, Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) annually during each of not to exceed four (4) years of college at- tendance at an accredited institution of higher learning. 2. Applications for scholarships must be made on or before the dead line date for receiving applications, as announced annually, on blanks which may be secured from the Secretary of The Committee on Educational Fund for Children of Phillips Petroleum Company Employees, Phillips Building, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The Committee will not consider applications received after the date specified, nor will it consider applications which do not include all material requested by The Committee in connection therewith. 3. Application for a scholarship may be sub- mitted by any student qualified or who will be qualified at the end of the current school year for admission to any accredited college or uni- versity, who is the natural or adopted child, or stepchild, of a person who is, at the date of such application, an active employee of Phillips Pe- troleum Company or one of its subsidiaries, and has been on the direct payroll of Phillips Petro- leum Company and/or some one or more of its subsidiaries as a permanent, full-time employee or bulk agent for not less than two (2) years of recognized continuous service, and whose salary does not exceed Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) per month. Natural or adopted children and step- children of persons whose salaries exceed Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) per month at the time awards are made, are not eligible for schol- arship awards. No student who has ever attended for longer than four weeks any college, university, or other school in which college credit is given, 2 A - shall be eligible for a scholarship award; pro- vided, however, that students awarded scholar- ships under these Rules and Regulations may ap- ply for extension of the award from year to year for three (3) additional years. 4. From the applications received each year, The Committee will select twenty (20) boys and ten (10) girls, giving consideration to past schol- astic records, future promise and financial need. The candidates so selected will be required to take the College Entrance Examination Board Test for Scholastic Aptitude. (Colleges and uni- versities throughout the nation rely on this test for the rating of candidates for admission and for the awarding of freshman scholarships.) This test will be held at designated places throughout the United States for all candidates at the same time, the date to be announced annually. Fees required by each candidate taking the test will be paid from the Fund, but other expense of attend- ing and taking the test will be borne by the can- didates. Candidates, after having been notified of their selection by The Committee, will be re- quired to fill out formal applications for exam- ination and transmit same to The Committee for filing with the College Entrance Examination Board. Blanks for this purpose may be secured from the Secretary of The Committee on Educa- tional Fund for Children of Phillips Petroleum Company Employees. This standard form of ap- plication will be used by all candidates. In order to avoid disappointment or misunderstanding, candidates are advised to consult their prospec- tive colleges to insure that they are otherwise eligible for college entrance, before registering for these tests. If any one or more candidates from among the ten girls and twenty boys eligible for the Schol- astic Aptitude Test may be prevented from taking said test on the date scheduled, due to reasons which, in the unanimous judgment of The Com- mittee, were unavoidable and extraordinary, such candidate or candidates may be granted the op- portunity to take a later Scholastic Aptitude Test, provided that The Committee, after weighing all other qualifications, deem such deferment proper. In this case, The Committee may withhold the public announcement of a sufficient number of scholarships, respectively for girls and for boys, 3 to permit said deferred candidate or candidates to receive a scholarship or scholarships in event the deferred Scholastic Aptitude Test rates him or them above the existing lowest ranking poten- tial awardee or awardees. 5. From among the six (6) girls receiving the highest rankings in the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, awards of scholarships shall be made to the two (2) highest ranking girls, based solely on their Test scores; the remaining one (1) award shall be granted to that girl, from among the remain- ing four (4), who is most entitled to the award on the basis of Test rankings and other factors, as determined by The Committee; and, the three (3) remaining gitls not receiving awards as above shall be declared alternates in the order of their Test rankings. From among the twelve (12) boys receiving the highest rankings in the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, awards of scholarships shall be made to the four (4) highest ranking boys, based solely on their Test scores; the remaining two (2) awards shall be granted to the boys, from among the remain- ing eight (8), who are most entitled to the awards on the basis of Test rankings and other factors, as determined by The Committee; and, the six (6) remaining boys not receiving awards as above shall be declared alternates in the order of their Test rankings. If one or more of those to whom scholarships shall have been awarded does not accept the award, the alternate, in order of rank, shall suc- ceed to the vacant scholarship or scholarships; provided, that only boy alternates shall succeed to scholarships awarded to boys and only girl alternates shall succeed to scholarships awarded to girls. The Committee may revoke any scholar- ship award, at any time, if it shall appear that the holder of such scholarship is ineligible under any of the provisions of these Rules and Regula- tions. The Committee may, in its discretion, con- fer revoked or forfeited scholarships upon the designated alternates. 6. Scholarship awards will be for one year, but may be extended annually until the holder has completed requirements for a Bachelor’s Degree, to those holders who maintain high personal and 4 Cee hg ee et —— a eS eee scholastic standards; provided, that scholarship awards may not be extended for more than three additional years. In order to receive awards for second, third, or fourth years, the personal and scholastic standing of a student must be satisfac- tory to The Committee. The Committee shall have the right to withhold scholarship funds from any student whose conduct or whose work at college or university shall be unsatisfactory. 7. Holders of scholarship awards called into active military service shall not forfeit their schol- arships by reason of such service. Awards to such holders, or any extension thereof, may be sus- pended from year to year at the discretion of The Committee until such time as such active military service shall have been completed. Except as to holders called into active military service, awards shall be for consecutive years only, except that The Committee may, in its discretion, and upon request of any holder of an award, suspend such award or any extension thereof, for a period not to exceed one (1) year. 8. The authorities of the college attended by any student who shall have received a scholar- ship award will be asked by The Committee for at least two reports each year. More frequent re- ports may be asked for, if deemed necessary or desirable. The Committee shall not be limited to information obtained from such reports, but may make such independent investigations as it may see fit. Each holder of a scholarship will be re- quired to maintain passing grades in all subjects each year, except that failure im not more than one-third of the total semester hours completed in any one semester shall not forfeit the scholar- ship if the work is made up the following year. Failure in more than one-third of the total semes- ter hours completed in any one semester will forfeit the scholarship, except that The Committee may make exceptions to this rule, if absence from classes on account of illness, certified to by a physician, or for other exceptional reasons, shall have been the cause of such failure. The holder of a scholarship must take enough semester hours each year to receive the Bachelor’s Degree in not more than four years. 9. The right of the holder of a scholarship to continue to receive funds shall not be affected by 5 reason of the fact that the parent of such holder shall have ceased to be an employee of: Phillips Petroleum Company or any of its subsidiaries on account of the death or retirement of such parent. The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine whether or not any holder of a scholarship shall continue to receive payments after the parent of such holder shall have ceased to be an employee of Phillips Petroleum Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason other than death or retirement. In any event, payments will continue until the end of the current school year. 10. Parents shall be liable for conduct and obligations of the holder of a scholarship. The Educational Fund for Children of Phillips Pe- troleum Company Employees or The Committee shall not. be liable for debts or the conduct of students, and students shall have no right to an- ticipate, assign, or transfer any rights acquired by reason of having been awarded a scholarship. Expulsion shall forfeit the scholarship. Conduct which, in the judgment of The Committee, is unbecoming the holder of a scholarship, will for- feit the scholarship. 11. The scholarship shall be applied to tuition, necessary beoks, and equipment and then toward maintenance. If any of the scholarship award shall then remain, the student may have the bal- ance for incidentals. The time and manner of payment of each $400.00 annual award shall be determined by The Committee and payment may be made, in the discretion of The Committee, to the school or to the parent of the holder of the scholarship, or to the student himself. INSTRUCTIONS AND SCHEDULE FOR 1941 AWARDS | FEBRUARY 10, 1941. This is the dead line for receiving applications from students who desire to enter college in the Fall of 1941.

No preparation for Apti- tude Test is required. MARCH 5, 1941.

Could you play Wayne on any one of the following dates: December 22, January 17, 31, or February 10? We can offer $500.00 plus 10% of the net receipts. This amount is limited by the fact that we must rent the Olympia, and because this is the first year we have tried double-headers.
