Dear Mr. Allen:

We're picking an All-America basketball team, and
in so doing, would like to enlist your aid.

We're asking three or four coaches and officials
in each s ection of thr country to name the best ®rward, center,
and guard they've seen in action all year, listing a couple
of reasons for their choices.

That's why we're writing to you, hoping you'll
hekp us along a bite

If you do, may we hear from you by no later
than March 9th....?

Sincerely,

pron Aah

Dear "Phog":

The inclosed carries some detailed informa~
tion relative to the set-up for the National Inter-
collegiate Basketball Championship Tournament. In
view of our conversation this morning, I felt that
you should have this information. It is for the
purpose of giving those present at the meeting Sat-
urday such information as is herein submitted, and
I will appreciate this opportunity at the close of
the rules interpretation meeting,

Very truly yours

1938 INTERCOLLEGIATE

CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

EALIZING that there is more truth than fiction in the quotation
R “If you build a better mouse-trap than your neighbor, the world
will make a beaten path to your door’’, many athletic coaches of the
United States were of the opinion that they could build a basketball
tournament that would be better and more suited to their needs than
any of the existing tournaments. Too, by the organization of an Inter-
collegiate National Basketball Championship Tournament, there would
be a distinct opportunity to compare the quality of ‘basketball as it is
played in the various ‘sections of the United States; and through the
process of elimination to really put the championship stamp upon the
most outstanding team.

For several years in the annual and semi-annual “buzzing bees”
of the coaches, the need of such a tournament was made evident.
Consequently, the sentiment crystallized and an initial attempt was
made in the Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Missouri, March 9-12,
1937.

The representative coaches, who had entered teams in the tourna-
ment, at once caught the spirit of enthusiasm and saw the future possi-
bilities of this, their first tournament. Consequently,
they selected Coach E. S. Liston as the modern
Joshua to make the journey to the National A.A.U.
Tournament in Denver. There, Mr. Liston inter-
viewed leading basketball coaches and athletic
directors from colleges and universities from every
section of the United States. So manifest was the
interest that Mr. Liston returned to Kansas City,
made arrangements for the new municipal audi-
torium for the week of March 7, 1938; secured
financial backing for the tournament; and then
began a careful campaign for the selection of a
national board of management. In this, the com-
mittee was very desirous that every section of the
United States be represented and that men of sec-
tional and national prominence in the athletic world
be invited to membership on the governing board.

A perusal and study of the following list is
prima facie evidence that the Board’s personnel is
representative of the nation’s best and that it
should result in the Intercollegiate National Basket-
ball Championship Tournament becoming the most
prominent basketball tournament in the United
States.

The West Coast is represented by John Bunn,
basketball coach, Stanford University, the sponsor
of the movement in the Pacific Coast Conference
and the states of California and Nevada.

Eugene Eberhardt, athletic director and basketball coach, Oregon
State Normal University, brings in the states of Oregon, Washington,
and Idaho.

Arthur “Dutch” Lonberg, basketball coach, Northwestern Uni-
versity, Evanston, Illinois, connects the east and west by the midwestern
links of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois.

The southern tier of states have for their sponsor A. F. Rupp,
basketball coach, University of Kentucky, who brings into the fold
members of the Southern Conference, Southeastern Conference, and
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

From the Eastern seaboard comes Clair F. Bee, athletic director
of Long Island University, New York; besides his state, his district
includes the New England states.

Forrest Cox, basketball coach, University of Colorado, ably
represents the Rocky Mountain Conference, Utah, Wyoming, Montana,
and Colorado.

To S. M. Cle athletic director, New Mexico University, goes the
task of selecting the representation for New Mexico and Arizona. Al
Boggett, athletic director, West Texas Teachers’ College, has the baili-
wick of the Southwest Conference and Texas.

North and South Dakota, lowa and Nebraska will be represented
by R. G. Rogers, basketball coach, Morningside College, Sioux City,
lowa. :

NATIONAL BASKETBALL

by THOMAS A. EVANS, publicity Director, Baker University

Missouri and Kansas are piloted by Pat Mason, athletic director,
Rockhurst College, Kansas City, Missouri.

Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama come into the fold
through W. B. Woodson, athletic director, State Teachers’ College,
Conway, Arkansas.

Other Board members are: Roy E. Tillotson, athletic director,
Franklin College, Indiana; Roy Clifford, basketball coach, Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, representative from Ohio and Michigan;
Henry R. Iba, athletic director, Oklahoma A. & M., Norman. He speaks
for the Oklahoma and Missouri- Valley Conferences. E. S. Liston, ath-
letic director, Baker University, is chairman of the Board of Managers.

To each board member, in addition to the responsibilities of coun-
sel regarding the general plans in conducting the tournament, is assigned
the duties of chairman of a committee in his respective district and the
dispersion of information on the tournament plans to the colleges and
universities in his district. He will also name his own district commit-
tee, which in turn will complete the plans of participation.

The various committees will select teams from their districts for
tournament representation; they may choose the conference champions;
select on the basis of the season’s record; or through elimination
tournaments.

Arrangements have been completed to stage the

tournament in Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City,
Missouri, March 7, 1938. Should the brackets in-
clude more than 32 teams, the additional dates of
March 5 and 6 have been tentatively reserved.

Inasmuch as the committee is sponsoring a
National Intercollegiate Championship Tournament,
no rules of eligibility have been decided upon other
than that the teams must represent standard insti-
tutions of college or university rank and will be
governed by the rules of eligibility in their respective
‘conferences. In case a team is not in a particular
conference, the rules will be set up by the faculty
committee of the institution.

Mr. Liston states that the tournament is not
the tool of any individual or organization, but is the
out-growth of the crystallization of sentiment of the
college and university coaches who for years have
felt the need of such a tournament. It is an attempt
to establish a national clearing-house for college
and university basketball. It has been made clear
by the chairman that the Board of Management is

 

composed entirely of college and university athletic
men and consequently no school nor conference
should fear laxness in the management or rules of
participation.

The tournament has been underwritten to the extent that teams
participating will be guaranteed entertainment (hotel and meals) during
their participation and an additional 24 hours’ entertainment following
their elimination.

Should the receipts amount to more than necessary to care for
local expenses, the balance will be placed in a reserve fund and will
be judiciously cared for by the Board of Management until the fund is
sufficient to enable the tournament to be self-supporting in future years.

Already civic organizations of greater Kansas City are making
preparations for many forms of entertainment for the visiting teams.
Alumni secretaries of colleges have expressed a desire for alumni meet-
ings of their respective colleges during the tournament dates. The open-
ing night, high school teams will be complemented; Thursday night, Dr.
James W. Naismith, Lawrence, Kansas, the father of basketball, will be
honored.

Last, but not least, provision is being made for the entertainment
of teams consisting of nine players and the coach.

 

I think the Converse shoe is the best basketball shoe made. If |
had my choice I would have no other shoe. They wear and give
your feet protection and they are “hydraulic brakes” on the floor.

reached me yesterday when I got back to the office too
late to get the job done.

I called Bob Russell at Lincoln for some help but he tells

but is trying to get one back so it will be available

for you at the earliest possible date following the Thanks-

I did not ask for my own print to be delivered before Dec.

ever will find some way to take ware of you in the mean-

Dear Mr, Brenn: ~

, _ . It just! oceurred to me in one of my lucid
moments that I ‘had failed to write you concerning
your comment on the poor lighting that the Eastman

- people permitted for our picture. They were rather
an unfortunate victim of circumstances in this case,

: They filmed the Kansas pictures here in
Lawrence and weitsae anae the Pathe News man in

) Liliem Andlauer, to do the work, The .
Pathe people had some old equipment, and the light-
ing was terrible, They did the shooting in our

gymnasium, |

lite. Edwards, the Eastman man, came here and
we worked two different weekends on these pictures

nd they were an utter failure. That, of course,

 meeessitated a lot of expense for the whole concern,

Bhe expense of taking the Kansas team to
Rochester, N. Y., for the filming was prohibitive,

so the Saestman people arranged for the Acme Edueca-

- tional Films Company of Chicago to drive their sound

truck and lighting equipment to Lawrence. The

location was changed from the gymnasium te the now

- auditorium, which is auch larger and provides a more

_commodious space for shooting than in Robinson Gyn-

iG It was found that the gymmasium transformer |
_ gould not carry the extra load for the added lighting
that the Aeme people carried. It was for that reason
primarily that they were transferred over to the
auditerium. — oe as

 
i.

| When we set the stuff up in the large auditor-
ium even as much lighting as that had wes rather ine
sufficient. And this accounts for the third and the

' last trial, and the type of pictures they had.

: It was their aim and desire to have an athletic
librery in their visual educational service, and I be-
lieve ow second attempt would be mech better than the
first, but this was a start, I wanted you to know the
difficulties under which they worked so that you could

understand some of the trials and tribulations, —

By the way, we filmed thie summer a movie talkie
for Converse, Bilson, Western, and Phillips "66" people. —

esting. The experts think quite well of it, but as yet
I have failed to see it. It at least gives six differ-
ent types of basketball as championed by these different

Dear Mr. Allen:

Your letter of the 22nd has just been received and I have issued in-
structions to ship you a set of the Seal-0-San films by parcel post

at once, so you may look forward to their arrival the early part of

the coming week and I will appreciate your seeing to it that they are
returned to us as soon as you have had the opportunity to show them as_
they are greatly in demand and we only have a limited number of sets

to usee I want to tell you frankly that this is the finest basketball
film that I have ever seen and I have tried to see all those I have
ever heard produced. The only fault that I can find is the light was |
not quite as good as it should have been when taken and I am quite sur=
prised over this as the Eastman people are generally quite meticulous
over such things, so something unusual must have been the cause for this
conditione

It was too bad I did not know your son was here with the Black Horse

Troop this summer because I would have made it my business to look him

up and show him some extra courtesies. I happened to be Chairman of

the reception committee for the Troop and Officers from Culver who were
here at the timee I have kmown both General Gignilliat as well as Admiral
Rodman and several of the other officers for a number of yearse Should
your boy ever come to Culver again and if there is anything I can do for
him don't. hesitate to say so, because Culver is only a short distance from
here and I have frequent occasion to go that waye

employment while I fin&édhed work on my B. S. and M. A.
degrees in physical education at the University. I have
about twenty hours to complete on my B. S. degree. I have
taken work at the Kansas Teachers, #mporia and University

of Illinois. I have taught nine years and all this teaching
has been physical education work. Here in Garden City Se
developed an all around intra-mural program for junior hégh,
senior high and junior college students.

If I could get part time teaching in some of your departments
I could finish my work for a degree. I feel I am qualified

in any physical ed work excepting swimming. EH. A. Thomas

of Topeka is familiar with my work here should you care to
write him regarding it.

I would like to very much finish my degree at the University
and would appreciate hearing from you as to my inquiry.

Dear Mre Allen:

Your letter of the 7th has been received and I am mighty grateful to you
for telling me the details surrounding the taking of the basketball film
which resulted in some of the scenes not being quite light enough. The
Bastman people are rather cagey about things of this sort and I have never
been able to get the straight of it from theme

I also appreciate your telling me about the film you made this sumer
for Converse, Wilson, Western, and Phillips "66", I will make it my business
to see this film at the first opportunitye

By the way, we are working on something now which may be of interest to
youe We are getting up what we would like to call a "digest" of the lead-
ing basketball articles which have appeared the past two years in athletic
publications. This willbe gotten up in magazine form with illustrations
and we will only have a little amount of space devoted to advertising
Seal-0-Sane ‘Those who have been able to see the dummy for this publica-
tion here have been most enthusiastic about it and as soon as the type is
set and we can get some proofs, I intend mailing you one for your files
and comments.

With kindest personal regards and best wishes, remain

Yours sincerely,
