: WESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS JUDSON A. HYAMES, Director : July 17,1945 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have followed you for many years in your basketball work and have always felt that you had a bit of edge in the basketball program due to the fact that you were so well equipped for conditioning your men. I spent the week with you in Springfield, Ohio many years ago when you and Pop Warner had a school at that place and at that time I certainly was impressed with your knowledge and ability to train men for their various sports. I have a circular here from the Lang Foot & Arch Normal- izer Company, Forsyth, Georgia and among the many test- imonials I find your letter of February 23, 1940. I am writing you to ask if you feel the same toward this foot normalizer as you did in 1940. I am always anxious to equip the training room with any equipment that will be of aid to our boys and your judgment will mean a lot to me with reference to buying this equipment. Would you please take time out of your busy life and tell me your reaction,in 1945,to this piece of training equip- ment? oping that you may have a most pleasant and rest- ful summer, I am Very sincerely, J@dson A. Hyam Director of Athletics H-V
