“February 27, 3946 Mr, Don Faurot oe Direetor of Athletics ‘ University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri Dear Don: . Not having been asked by you for a recommendation concerning Andrew McDonald of the Southwest Missouri State Teachers College, I am nevertheless calling his high talents to your attention: : : Andy MeDonald played on my Kansas Varsities both in football and basket- ball, He played end in 1920 when we were outweighed by the Nebraska Corn Huskers 27 pounds to the mane We were behind at the half 20 to 0 in this game played at Lawrence, _ Which by the way, is the game that built the stadium, This was when Henry Schulte was coaching the Corn Huskers, We came back witha great upsurge, scoring 3 touchdowns and tying them 20 to 20, but failed to make the winning touchdown, Andy played a wonderful end in that game, as he did in all the other games of the season. I was coaching only wtil we could secure Potsy Clark, whom Chet Brewer hes hired an additional year at Michigan State College. meee Andy played on wy basketball team the two following years, having played in | 1925 on our ever victorious basketball team. oe % I want to be entirely frank with yous Personally, I eannot coach as vigorously against one of my own boys as I could against someone else who might come in at Missouri, I think you can appreciate this sitvation, but in the light of these facts I want to tell you, in my opinion, Andy McDonald gets more out of his material and does a better job of coaching than 90 percent of the coaches in the field. Andy is not only a safe and valuable man to deal with young men, but he leads them by the power of his personality. He is clean, courageous, and capable. He is a heeman in every respect, yet he is a sterling gentleman, | , He is a veteran of the First World War and served in combat with éistinction. He knows basketball from A to Z and understands its fundamentals and its tactics, but above that he is a sphendid psychologist, a practical and a winning one, But why should I tell you about Andy McDonald further, because you were in the conference with him and doubtless met him in competithon in many occasiond. I just wanted you to know that I believe in him 100 percent and I am happy to recommend him without reservation or evasion. | It was good to see you at Columbia where we showed more stuff than we generaliy have. I shoul@ certainly make an exception of our free throwing. If we ‘had missed just a few more, we would have had a .000 percentage. s - Mr. Don Faurot | ~2- : February 27, 1946 ‘We hear omnious things regarding the — of per? in your gridiron sport. Don't be too tough on us, Don.

I am ashamed of the fact that so much of my correspondent has had to lie unanswered. Your problem of having more sports films and sports information to present to the youth of other nations is one that should concern all of us. lowe ever, up to the present time I have had no communication from the State Department concerning it, and know of nothing that is being done to help your situation. From all that I have heard from. boys who have \ come hack, I agree with you heartily on the theory that world peace and world democracy might well be based on spotts. Now that I have time, since basketball season is over, I shall make every effort to find out if any- thing along this line is being done and you can be assured that I shall do all that I can to render assistance to people like you, At present the K.U. film library doesn't even have a picture of the Kansas Varsity of any year, but we are cone templating making one of this year's Jayhawkers. I will keep you in mind, If there is any way that a can be of ase sistance, I shall do so, \ We have had a very good year in basketball and, although lossing to the Oklahoma Aggies at the District 5 Play-Off, we did win our Big Six Conference Championship. Wre Je Re Fluker oRe March 26, 1946 & ; A Mount Oread is flushed with spring and with an overe- flowing attendance record. We have many vate students in physics] education and our department is beginning to take on the postwar aspect. . I have mentioned your letter to several of the boys, all of whom wish to be remembered to you; namely, Denzel Gibbens, Don Pierce, Wayne Replogle, Henry Shek, John Pfitsch, Dick Miller and Irvine Haden, to mention a few. Write again when- ever you have the time, We are always happy to hear from you and I hope that by my next letter I can have more specific information to offer regarding your situation. Sincerely yours, Director of. Physical Education, FCA: F Varsity Basketball Coach. Ad. Jase etek 20 meg olatimen + ae a whe : - D freeteeres oy Pine b, Kabul, Afghanistan December 3, 1945 Dear Dr. Allen, It is possible that you have had some communication from the Department of State concerning the following matter, but inasmuch as I have not heard from you dir- ectly or indirectly, I shall present it to you personally. In being in a foreign country, and more particularly, in being with the youth of Afghanistan, I have formed the opinion that the basic manifestation of the foreigner'ts admiration for the American Way is the love of American sports. They want to try all of them, even though the health and physical fitness of youths of other nations are not equal to those of American young men. It seems to me that the basis of the world peace and world democracy we hope for might well be sports, specifically, American sports. I should think that the sportsmen of America and especially the coaches of America (if they are not already doing it) are missing a golden opportunity to show the benefit and usefulness of sports on a world-wide scale by fostering more ardently the case for American sports abroad. From experience in Afghanistan I should say that the things most desired are pictures and books on American sports, particularly pictures. Here in Kabul the athletes would revel in films of basketball (they eat it up), base- ball, football, boxing, wrestling, in fact, in films of any sports. We have a 16 mm. projector (with or without sound, but no sport films--except a very rare one and usually a rather bad one sent to this part of the world by the British. (continued) ae To come directly to the point, I was wondering whether you, yourself, or you as a voice of American coaches had considered and perhaps acted upon the idea of planning and making sport films for use abroad. And should you have any films of actual basketball games, or for that matter, of any sport in the K.U. film library, I know that the students of Afghanistan would appreciate them more than the written word can express. If you find time to write I would certainly enjoy hearing from you. With best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family, I am Sincerely yours, B-b Fhker.
