March 17, 1944. Mir. Charles Ise, 1208 Mississippi St., Lewrence, Hausas. Dear Charles: There seems to be a slight misunderstanding and I am writing you endeavoring to clear it up. The night watchman wrote me a note saying that you have been using the ladies' toilet in room 2048 when you wars playing on the second floor of the gym. The men's lavatory is in the north side of the building just across the and I would appreciate it if you would use those facilities. Thera is one other item that I think I should speak to you about for clarification. The officer states that you and John are under the impression that your father bought some pingpong tables and you ani your brother use them in the gym because you are wider the impression your father bought them. Perhaps he did purchase some and give them to someone, but the tables as I understand were built by Mr. Dell Davidsen for the Department of Physical Sducation. ZI would be glad if you would drop in and have a talk with me so that we may clear up these points. ‘Someone told ms further that you and your brother have a key tw the gymnasium and that you come in sometimes in the evening and play. We would just like te have this all straightened out to our mutual satisfaction. .

My Dear Dr. Allen: I enjoyed seeing you again last Saturday and although the football game was a little one-sided nevertheless it was interest- ing and I believe K.U. will have a good team in the Big Six Conference this year. I have been thinking over our conversation of Saturday concerning my having earned a letter while at K.U. and pefore writing Karl Schlademann I thought I would write to you and see if you could have someone check the athletic records from 1923 through 1926 to see if in your opinion I am deserving of a letter. Upon entering K.U. as a freshman in 1923 I played freshman football under John Bunn and was awarded a numeral, and was invited back for varsity competition in 1924 under Potsy Clark. I was on the freshman track team under Schlademann and made a numeral in track, participating in the broad jump and quarter mile rune ; During the 1924 football season as I remember I played a few minutes in the following games, Washingbdoén U. of St. Louis, Nebraska, Oklahoma or Kansas Aggies, and Missouri, and also made all of the trips with the squad. I did about the same in the 1925 season, and in 1926. In track in 1924 I made all of the trips including the indoor meet at K.C., and the Drake Relays. I took part in several meets but do not recall whether I won any points for K.U. that year. In either the 1925 or 1926 track season I am sure I won several points for the team. I believe it was in the 1925 season that I ran on the mile relay team in Big-Six competition when we won several races. Against Kansas Aggies we won the-mile relay, and I bpeltéve ith was either against Missouri or Nebraska that we won another. Zi believe I picked up a fourth or two in the broad-jump that season but am not sure as it might have been the following season. I made all trips with the track squad in 1924, 25 and 26. After checking the records I will appreciate your frank opinion as to whether or not I have any case for a letter and will be pleased to govern myself accordingly. If you decide favorably I will be glad to contact Schlademann and Clark or carry out wmother suge- estions you may care to m&ke. | oy Very pe oe : ‘ en os : c Kea zs | can save you 1 A 4 ae saateevne Ss enadsasalonw ~ ening my product or lessening any service: rt rir A bal @21se4aG2 ava —this is the sales appeal of the curbstone®® : broker—here today gone ‘tomorrow. which does employ salesmen who are | tional ambassad f We hear a gaod at ga ee ne OF helpfulness HORSE tactics these days in the European w Sed lo 1235 we ‘IZ one ae fhe correct : merchan- situation.

Allen Head Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog": I have your recent letter upon my return from a short vacation. I note what you i have to say regarding Don Isett. I received a letter from Don three or four months ago regarding the possibility of the University awarding him a letter. I wrote back and quite frankly "passed the buck." I will say the same thing to you I said to Isett - namely I have not been in the employ of the University of Kansas for a great many years and I believe it would not only be poor judgement but bad taste for me to approach the University about the award of a letter which I did not recommend while I was coaching there. If the Athletic Board or someone of the Athletic administration of the University wishes to contact me, I shall be glad to answer their questions and of course will recommend Don Isett as a person and a gentleman quite highly. I have been in contact with Isett both here end on the campus at Washington State. He is a personable fellow and certainly a good citizen. I really feel, Phog, that if there was any type of injustice done a to Isett, it was not in track and field but perhaps in football. He was a fair a little bad? back and gave some pretty fair service as 1 remember it to the foot- ball team. He was however unable to score more than one or two points in track. As you have so kindly stated, I had quite a track team at that time and it was a little bit tough to score points in track. Track is somewhat different from the , game sports. I have always been rather liberal in handing out awards but you have 4 to use some type of slide rule when points are won and distributed as they are in | track and field. J LRT ASS Relies a MeN nae MELE et Be coed If you care to follow up Don's case and if Mr. Kloos or the President of your board wishes to write me, I shall be glad to say a lot of nice things about Don Isett. The board of course will have to act upon its own in awarding a letter because I certainly can't do any recommending to the Kansas University Athletic Board when I have no connection of any sort with it. I just returned from St. Louis, Missouri where Ramsay is a resident in the City Hospital in Pathology. He was married recently and we think his judgement is pretty good. Our daughter, Sarah, is married to a Naval officer living in Washington, D. C. and I have reached the point where I cannot deny my age - I am a grand- father. Richard Joseph Hall arrived in January of this year. Please give my very best regards to Mrs. Allen and the other members of your famiiy - both personal and athletic. I, like every other civilian of our age, am looking forward to the end of our present mess when we can again resume normal lives. I don't mind being busy and working long hours with the Air Corps boys but I can't believe anybody ~ ever gained anything from war. Please advise me if there is anything I can do to clear up the Isett case if you really think it needs reviewing. | : ee : ong Use aygiaghs I fits gf sade Ubi ayes FY atl i qh caafi aes ty ELE hl uly syed Eta anal, are may a ee, regia Peed He iat He ees; al WL ain | Hboents abe bia ih if taphe A2ERES Bs ge cea i adage | aa dee y : i | ald fedage ie de tual ahh Hl He t iy ide Aas ; Aad Ha ot Ai i ie HB lias 3 iit iy SH ails ‘ Milton, the second som, is married and has a five-year-old daughter. fe is an attorney.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa Dear Don: I have your letter of February 14th and I have given it consider- able thought. I realize that in your work you naturally would very much like to be a wearer of the Kansas "KK", I should feel no personal compunction about giving you a recommendation if I were in any way connected with the University but as we both know, I have been away from that institution for a great many . years. I feel that for me to recommend you for a letter would be presumption on my part and as much as I would like to help you out, I do not see how there is any possibility of the first move coming from me. If you should care to follow the thing up and arrange for the president or presiding officer of the K.U. Athletic Board to write me concerning your request, then I will be glad to do what I can. I do not, of course, remember the details of your case. I have had a great many boys under me during the past 20 years and there are undoubtedly a lot more who are border-line cases. I should say that you would always do the University honor as a wearer of the varsity letter but if I go out on a limb by recommending you, I might have a lot more such requests. I should not like to make a recommendation to Dr. Allen-not because he and I are not still very good personal friends but because of the muddled political situation at the University of Kansas. I am there- fore passing the buck to you. I will repeat, if the chairman of the board or the president of the institution desires to contact me in your case, I will @o.everything I can.

Simultaneously the Baruch committee on physical medicine, headed by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford University, recommended a nation-wide scientific boost of this art, particularly for returning soldiers. The committee defined physical medicine as use of light, heat, water, cold, electricity, massage, manipulation, exercise, spas, climatology and hydrology, the latter specializing in baths, sprays, and the likes "T om wii Baruch said, "that returning men and women now in the armed services will need the advantages of physical medicine, and I feel this program will help restore discharged vibiten to normal physical and mental condition, My inter- est has been heightened by my desire to do something for the 700,000 returning soldiers--men and women--every month, I want to do that something now, before I get older. | us Will Give Mere Maney. The financial and presidential adviser said that if the program worked out "I am prepared to put most of my fortune into ite-I believe in it.” The Wilbur committee, which was financed by Baruch, suggested speoial investi- - gation should be made of the value of personal contact between physician and pationt, including investigation of the psychic effect of the "laying on of hands'. SRE PTR ORE ole Recommended also was research in osteopathy, chiropractic, which treats the alignment of the spine, and ener which deals with massage, air, herbe and the like, Some branches of physical medicine already are highly developed, But in the main the committee declared there are not enough physicians versed in this art, and not enough technicians, The report pointed to the recognition given to physical medicine by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

Explaining his interest in physical medicine, Baruch said it “is a subject dear to me because of my father."

Our gross ran about $3,200 in two different doubleheader programs in Oklahoma City last year and 1 feel sure we would draw well in Kansas City. I understand the committee members at the hall were interested in an A. and M. appearance at the hall last year. Our games in Oklahoma City last year were with Arkansas university and the south base Skyjackets from Norman, the games being coupled with contests between Phillips 66 and Navy Zoomers. Kansas, I know, would do equally as well, if not much better, in Oklahoma City games. If you are interested in these two games, what dates would you suggest? I am sure the game in Oklahoma City would draw much better after the Oklahoma City tournament, which will be held the latter part of December. With best personal regards, I am, H.P.

Allen Cirector of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: We received your letter of February 8th a few days ago and we certainly do want to thank you and Mr.Falkenstien, of the Athletic Association, for your kindness in allowing our Boy Scouts to come to one of the basket ball games without charge. We expect to have about fifteen boys, the winners of the contest, to go to Lawrence and we would like to attend the Iowa State game on March 3rd, and unless we hear to the cmtrary we will be up there about 7:00 o'clock that night. You certainly have had some tough luck this winter in losing close games, but I guess those things are bound to happen once in awhile. I really don't see how you carried on as well as you have under the war conditions, but, of course, it is undoubtedly due to a great deal of master-minding. I don't mind the losing games this year, because we realize things are far from normal, but it certainly did hurt a great deal when they stole your entire basket ball team last year right on tre threshhold of the big tournament. It looks to me like somebody some place didntwant to see Kansas go to New York. We are sorry to hear you had a tonch of the "flu", but I guess most everybody has had sane trouble this winter. Hope you have entirely recovered and wish you all the success in the world for the remaining games in your basket ball schedule. Pebruary 8, 1944. Dear Johnny: - fs soon as I received your letter I got in touch with Mr. Earl Palkenstien, financial secretary of the Athletic Association, and he télls me that since your boys are all Boy Scouts he will be glad to admit them without charge to any of the games they find it possible to attend.

PACKERS STATION ACCOUNTING OFFICE January le, 1944 Dr. F. C. Allen ; University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: It has been some time sinee I have had the pleasure of writing you, but I know I have seen you a good many times since I last wrote you. However, have not had an opportunity to see this year's basketball team in action because it was impossible to get to the auditorium during the Christmas holidays. Some of us hope to get up for several games this year, particularly the Oklahoma and Iowa State games. I was wondering if we could make some kind of a deal with you for about eight or ten Boy Scouts to see one of the games during February. We have been having an Inter-Patrol contest and we promised the winner a basketball game with a Chili supper afterwards, and they prefer to come up to Lawrence to see your team play. Our contest will not be over until February lst, so it will be impossible to determine the winner in time to come up for the Washburn game, and according to the printed schedule you only have two other home games, Missouri on the 26th and Iowa State on March 3rd, and it is my impression there there is some Big Six ruling against giving any discount on seats for the Big Six games; however, hope this is not the case. Most of these boys have ushered at a good many of the basketball games in Lawrence, since our Troop ushered the last three years for basketball and football. If you can see any way to help on this will appreciate a note from you. In the meantime, of course, we expect to be in Lawrence for the Oklahoma game a week from Friday night, and of course we are all hoping that the boys will get to clicking and take the Sooners into camp.
