The Kansas university basketball
squad has never been taken away
from the campus except for a bas-'
ketball game, Dr. Phog Allen writes:
F. B. Toalson, principal of the sen-i
‘ior high school, and he adds, “You
_are the first man who ever has been;
able to sell me on the idea. |

“When you pointed out that col-'-
lege bands and musical organiza-
tions make promotional trips for|
public relations development for)‘
their school, I rather agreed that |.
perhaps the basektbhall squad can)
do the same thing, although I still;
think the thing could be overdone."

So when Dr, Allen brings his var-
sity squad here for the two day
basketball clinic next week, it will! ;
be the squad’s first trip away from | +
home as an educational prograin.'

“It is an educatitonal program,”! y
Dr. Allen’s letter said, “And I be-| +
lieve could not be criticized more,
than bringing the university. band} »
to Dodge City to play a concert.”| L

Utica, Shallow Water, Ford andj‘
Liberal high school teams are new| 7
entries for the clinic here next
week, which brings the ‘otal of
teams to thirty, including the sen-| 9
ior high and junior college teams‘
of Dodge City, Mr. Toalson said.!
The junior high team has decided! -
not to enter the clinic unless there! ‘
are. other junior high teams in it. | j

With thirty teams to work, the, ]
clinic play will start Thursday: af-
ternoon with each team playing a
half ® against another and the
coaches of both teams sitting with
Dr. Allen for his Suggestions and
criticisms as the teams play. In!
addition his varsity squad from the|
universiy will stage demonstrations
sn the program. “We will be pre-
pared to give any demonstaration
you want,” Dr. Allen said.

The K, U. team also will give a
demonstration Friday night of the!
clinic between halves of the Em-|}
poria-Dodge City high school game i
which will be the closing feature of:
the clinic. j
