Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Varisty Basket Ball Coach

Dear Dr. Allens:

Although I have been working night and day since
the war broke out on December seventh, I took
time off last evening to scout the Bradleye
Oklahoma gameée Bradley won 47-42,

You are undoubtely acquainted with the various
formations used by the Soomers in past years.

This year's team uses a single and double pivot

with the third man passing by the pivot man

receiving the ball for a shot. Gerald Tucker

is a second Joe Reif on offense, and a Wells(KU) .
on defenses. Richard Reich, also, plays the pivot,

but his strength is limited. Note, Tucker is

not dangerous when in the free throw zone with
exception of clever passing to teammatese

Oklahoma's weaknesses can be placed on poor
reserves, now rebounding on offense, and inability
to stop a fast break. Early in the segond’ half,
Bradley turned on the heat, and scored fifteen
points before the Norman team could get their
bearingse The three men out in front talking

gone defense was effeetive while they were ahead,
but the Peoria's team stall, and @elayed offense
broke it upe

One can hardly understand how Oklahoma has been
beaten so many times this year since the boys
fight hards.,pass well, rebound perfectly on de-

_ fense, make their free throws, and have some good

pivot scoring playse

If Kansas beats them on the night of January sixth,
I will personally buy you any $10. 0O Stetson hat

in Kansas City. Tell the boys of my proposition
as it is up to them to win you a new bonneéte

With Kind regards and best wishes for your good
health and prosperity in 1942.
Sincerély
