Mr. Forrest C. Allen,
Varsity Basketball Coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, KansasSe

Dear Phogs
Thanks for your letter.

I agree that the all-America 10-man squad should be limited
to college players (giving positions and schools). I realize it is diffi-
cult to pick an all-time college team when you consider the various
differences in rules -- the use of one man for free throws, the center
jump, the pre and post-dribble days, etce

However, I do not see any way to restrict the selections to a
certain period. I may be wrong but it seems to me most coaches would
feel that a standout of the 1920-2 period was superior to his counterpart
of any previous period. Therefore, while a player of any year would be
eligible for selection, a majority of the votes would go to players of the
last two decadeSe

It is a tough assigmment but please consider any angles you wish
and let me have your selections.

As to teams, perhaps you had better nominate the best college
and also the best pro team.

Kindest regardse

Sincerely yours,
