Mr. Bijl Huggins,
709 West 6th St.,
Coffeyville, Kansas.

Dear Bill:

 

I have been in Iewa and over at Topeka at coaching = °
I want you to know that I was happy to imew you enjoy the Rebounds.

T am glad to knew that Teady is in England and is getting
along splendidly; otherwise you would have told me.

Kansas prespects are for a fair team, but I de net think we
will win the Big Six because our staff are spending most of their
energies on doing things trying, to win the war, rather than te have a
Big Six championship in wartime. Of course the boys and the coaches
will do as well as they possibly can, but they are not eut over the
country hunting athletes when we are needing fighters and fighter-
helpers first.

Thank you fer sending the stamps for the Rebounds. We will
keep them coming to you as wo write them. I am now getting ready to
work on Number 11. It will have all the football depe there regarding
the team. In this way you should be able te follow the team a little
more intimately rather than in reading the papers. Ceaches Shenk and
Schaake and Dean Nesmith, trainer, are developing a fighting team and
will get the most out of them according to their abilities.

Please give your dad and mother my kindest regards, and when

you write Toady tell him we are all pulling for him. With all good
_ Wishes, and trusting that you are feeling some better, I am

Very sincerely yours,

; Director of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

Dr. Forrest Allen,
Lawrence, Sansas

My dear wes Allen: -

pai?

oe a and Mrs Hd Price spent an hour with
us and in the conversation Hd said that it had been re-
ported that T.P.Hunter had been killed. If this is true I
would like to have the name and address of his mother so +
might write to her. I was very much impressed with T.P
when he was in school. He was a fine character.

We spent three or four days with Sobert recently.
Hie was at his wife's home for five days on his way to the Pacific.
I was afraid he might be sent out without seeing his baby but
he had five wonderful days with him. We do not know where
he is now and will perhaps not hear for awhile. We hope for
the best.

Some time ago yow sent me a copy of your bulletin
and said if + desired you would put me on your mailing list.
I think 1 replied that 1 would like to have it but it has never
come. Send it to me- i like to keep up with the boys.

I understand that Mrs. Allen is teaching in the
Church Schoola t Hawrence. Fine! She was busy rearing her
family when Iwas there or I would have put more pressure on her
to be more active. Iam glad her talents are being used.

Lt. Richard Good and Pfc Tom O&Donnell both
spent a Sunday with me recently. they were boys who lived with
us in “awrence and went to K.U.

B est wishes,

B est wishes to Quigley- I ha ve met him numbers of times
but he will not remember me. I used to watch him umpire
in the National “eague more than 30 years agoe

Dear Captain Harris:

I have your inquiry regarding my text, "Better
Basketball",

I happen to have a few copies on hand, and if
you should desire an autographed cepy I will be glad
to send it to you. The price of the book is $4.00.
The postage amounts to 10¢, and upon receipt of your
check or money order for $4.10 I will be happy to mail

the book to youe The c.o.d. charge would amount to
more than this.

Mr. Harry W. Hughes,

Director of Physical Education,
Colorado State College,

Fort Collins, Colorado.

Dear Harrys

We have several young men of promise who are in the war
at the present time, but doubtless will be looking for places
when the fuss is over.

Vie have Ralph Miller who is highly capable of coaching
Both football and basketball. He is in the Army Air Force now,
but I believe expects to follow the coaching game when he gets
through. Henry ?rnka of Tulsa and other coaches have asked
about him.

I have another young man who is not a graduate of the
University but who took his Master's degree here =~ A. M. "Murray"
Brown. He is in the Navy, but I think he is a highly capable
chap and he has played both football and basketball and was a
star in both. He is clean as a hound's tooth, has a fine wife
and would be a credit to your staff.

I think Binns of Dodge City Junior College is a fine man.
I believe he has had quite a bit of success.

If I can help you further please command me.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
 

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR Aug ust 29 ; 1944

Dr. F. G. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear "Phog":

When this war is over we are going
to need a mean who can coach basketball.
As you know Colorado University, Wyoming
University, Utah University, Bingham Young
University, and Utah State place a lot
of emphasis on basketball. Our institution
is small and we cannot take a big time
high salaried coach but there must be
some good men who have not had the breaks and
are still coaching in a small college or
junior college. We also need a man who
can aid with football en” can coach ends
or the line (This mightibe a tough com-
bination).

If you know of such a men, I shall
be pleased to hear about him. Mr. Binns
of Dodge City Junior College has been
mentioned.

Thanks for any trouble I may cause
you.

Sincerely yours
