Dr. F. C. Allen

Who’s Phog Allen?-:

Dr. F. C. “Phog” Allen, one of the
biggest names in basketball, is coach
and director of athletics at the Uni-
versity of Kansas. He has probably
turned out as many All-American
basketball players as any coach in the
United States.

When he was an _ All-American
player at K. U., he set all-time record
for the most points ever made in one
game in collegiate play; this record
remained until last year when one
of his own players, Engleman, broke
it by a few points. i

He is well known for his ability to
treat athletic injuries, and many rival
teams send their injured players to
him to have him cure them so they
;can try to beat his own team.

National fame has been his for his
wide crusade against professional-
ism in college athletics.

 

 

KU. Squad
Cage Clinic

Two-Day Session
To Be Climaxed
By Home Game

Dr. F. C. “Phog” Allen, athletic di-
rector at the University of Kansas
and his varsity basketball squad will
be drawing cards for the Southwest
Kansas Basketball Glinic sponsored
by Dodge City high school December
11 and 12. Concluding the clinic will
be a game at 8 p. m. Friday between
Dodge and Emporia high schools with
a special talk and demonstration by
Dr. Allen and his players at the half
of the game.

Thirty teams from southwest Kan-
sas have registered for this clinic,
the largest ever held according to Mr.
F. B. Toalson, principal of the high
school, through whose effort Dr. Allen
has been persuaded, for the first time
in history, to take an athletic team
from K. U. for anything except a
game.

Each team will play, pr really:
practice, two halves, meeting a dif-
ferent team for each half. During
the time that the team is playing its
coach will sit with Dr. Allen. “Phog”
will discuss the type of play and the
players and answer any of th: +-*9h.
es questions. It is thought that tnm
direct contact with the famous men-
tor will be more valuable as a means
of improving the teams than any
method used in past years.

The officials from this part of the
state who wish to volunteer their ser-
vices for these sessions will be con-
tructively criticized by a board of
critics. : 5

With far more teams than ever
before entered, the practice sessions
will begin Thursday afternoon and
continue through the evening and
Friday morning and afternoon. Fri-

|day afternoon at 3:30 “Phog” Allen

and the varsity players will give their
demonstration and hold an open house
to answer questions,
