Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education & Recreation and Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach 105 R. Campus. Dear "Phog": I greatly appreciated your note of December 16. It was just another demonstration of your generous thoughtfulness. As a matter of fact, I felt that I owed you and the members of the basketball team an expression of thanks for the delightful time that I had in making the trip with you to Dodge City. It was so thorough- ly enjoyable that it was really a vacation trip for me. I also appreciated the last paragraph of your let- ter, although I was inclined to reply immediately that my aggressive foot seemed to have put just about the necessary weight on the accel- erator to insure that we reached Lawrence in time for your basketball rehearsal at three o'clock that afternoon. On the other hand, I dis= covered a day or two later that I had worn a hole through the sole of my right shoe while the left sole was perfectly intact. So I decided that there might be some justification for your warning. In any case, I discovered that a certain big black Buick was close behind me all the way, except when it was setting the pace out in front. Cordially yours Wool. haer~, Director. HGI: jb P.S. I had hoped very much that I would have an opportunity to see the boys perform in their first conference game this winter. But I am leaving today for a four-day conference in Memphis so will not have an opportunity to see the team in action un- til the 24th. But I am hoping to be in Lawrence on that day. But even - h I am not present in the auditorium, I shall be rooting for you an Ae on. And I am confident that the first game will result in a victory for our boys, regardless of whether or not Tucker is in the 0.U. line-up. hawoas April 27, 1942. Mrs N. P. Isenberger, Phillips Petroleum Co., Corpus Christi, Texas. - Dear Hates Nate, I appreciate your writing me and I assure you that it would be a great pleasure to have this boy enrolled at the University of Kansas. Won't you contact him and let me kmow what chance there is of him enrolling here? You tell Dan that I would be delighted to have hin. iion't you write me confidentially and let me mow what his finan- eial status is? The tuition for out of stete boys is $75.00 per semester and the out of state boy pays a $20.00 matriculation fee. Kansas boys pay a $10.00 mtriculation fee. . Believe it or not, Nate, I am still going along in the old way end not offering any scholarships or any special inducements. I get a lot of letters from boys all over the United States asking if we give scholarships, and saying that they would like to play here. I tell one and all the seme thing < that there is no one here at the University who subsidizes the boya and makes it easier for a basketball player than for any other student. Sometines my mouth waters when I read of some of these prospects and realize what a fellow could do in @n athletic way if he had some of these boys, and then I think also of how many kids have been spoiled by somebody telling them they were big shots and that somebody should pay their way through college. I have had youngsters of my own and in my own mind I always have a deep sense of pride when some of these boyd do something on their own hook and do not depend on somebody else paddling ir canoe. I would love to have Dan Wagner up here and I kmow from what you say about him that he would have no trouble making our varsity with what fundamentals exactly what I say to him and just how I feel. | Again thanking you, Nate, and hoping for your continued Sincerely yours, | success, I am Director of Physical Education and Recreation, PCA: AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. Corpus Christi, Texas April 16, 1942 Dr. F.C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phogs This little note will acquaint you with the fact that I feel that I can recommend Dan Wagner, Captain of the Schreiner Institute basket ball team this year, as a very fine prospect. He is a forward of the George Rodey type and at present finishing his work at Schreiner which is located at Kerrville » TexaS.e This is the first time I have ever recommend- ed any one to you or any one else because of athletic ability but I feel that you should know about this boy. I de this only after he has told me he would like to play basket ball for you which means a lot to me.

If it would be convenient for you and the squad, I would be very happy to entertain you at lunch. or at dinner, whichever is most convenient for you, at the Jefferson Hotel in Iowa City on January 29.
