March 26, 1946 Ens. D. Re Barrington, -U,S.N,R. BAR - Navy Glen L. Martins Baltimore 3, Maryland Dear Duck : It was certainly good to hear from you and to ‘mow that you have those knees bent and were fighting right along with the rest of our Jayhawkers during our last few games, We had a long hard season and feel very fortunate that we came out, as far as the conference is concerned, ever victorious. The Iowa State game at Ames and the Oklhoma game here proved to be our toughest assignments. , @ : i You asked about John Lance and I must admit thet lie treated us no better than last year. However, it seems that. officiating becomes a more arduous task as the years go bye I will certainly give him your regards when I see him once mores i 4 ; z \ Dean is still our big pepper-upper and continued. in this capacity throughout the season. | I am happy that you are able to play s ome basket= ‘bull, which should put you in good shape for next season. We are expecting a lot of material, Besides our entire Sirst string, we will have our reserves ané several good boys such as youwho make - 4t that much rougher competition for the first team births. You prebably know that Peck and Evans held down quarterback and guard positions this year; Peck throughout the season and Evans efter he returned from the service. Kanas is definitely "soming" and I expect a lot from him next years | Write again whenever you have time and I will try to be more prompt in answering your next letter. ) Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, ’ Varsity Basketball Coach. FEE Ie. Mee ae. PCa arenas i ) BUREAU OF AERONAUTICS REPRESENTATIVE UNITED STATES NAVY The Glenn L. Martin Company Baltimore -3, Md. - Refer to / AMNARCH 1946 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Sir: The morning Sun brought good news of your victory last night over that arched rival Oklahoma. The score indicated that it was a grand battle. Congradulations to the team and you. If I have kept my outcomes correctly. this victory should earn you the Big Six basketball crown--I hope so. Maybe I'll see your team in the east this year--how about the Garden? My wife and new addition, Karen Lee, sends me clippings on. the games so I'll be uneasy untill I know how the Kansas City, Kansas Boys shared in the victory. .Kanas, Peck, and Evans are the ones who [I have a personal interest towards. I understand that you expect a fine squad next year. I hope to bring my family back on the hill and work myself into a position on the team. I have a few hours to complete my degree but I expect to take a little coaching on the side line and finish up in the shortest time possible. Is Dean still the full Pepper of the squad? Has John Lance been treating you any better this year? Give hime my ~ regards since he was an old friend of mine. ‘ This season I've been playing ball with the Martin Bombers in the east. We have a fine amateur which stands up with the best. The type of ball played here is different. Too much running atound with no object to it. I find that there are very few playmakers with any of the teams. We have been playing the first half of double headers on Friday evenings. Our games are played at the Baltimore Gardens and on Friday the second game is played by the Baltimore Bullets. This is the top pro team in the east. They play a colorful type of game for the benefit of who cuts them the most money. Price Brookfield played a little at the first of the season but he didn't fit into the outfit. In other words the jews didn't like his playing. My gas is running rather low so I'll retire for this time. Good luck in the rest of your games. Tell the boys hello.
