801 Louisiana Street, Lawrence, Kansas. August 28, 1941. Mrse Os Le Houts, Corner of Broad and Holden Street, Warrensburg, Missouri. Ky dear Mrs. Houte: Your very sad letter came to us this morning. Mrs. Allen and I both recall Forrest, Jr.'s and Wilsie’s play days with many fond recollections, and it grieved us both te know of the trouble that you are in. | 3 My, whet a brave soldier you have been. I have al- ways admired you from the depths of my heart because you were so brave in raising those two sons. I know the Golgotha Road that you have traveled, and never at a single instant did 1 ever hear you complain about anything. On the other hand, you were buoyant and brave in every situation. Of course I will do everything that I ean for you. If it is necessary to make any trips to seek the necessary information or to talk to Wilson or to go with him wherever it is necessary to make the connections I will be most happy to do so. This morning I called my very dear friend, Dr. A. Je ‘Anderson, a practicing physician here in Kansas for meny years. He is our most prominent and highly respected physicien in the town. I asked him about a hospital of this kind in Kansas and he said thet there are none except the one at Parsons, which is more for epileptics and not for alcoholics. He told me about a sanatarium in Kensag City, Missouri, under the name of Drs. Ralph end Ralph. He says that that place, which is located near Pem Valley Park, is one of the most reputable and efficient that he knows of. He told me of a woman drug addict that oame to him, a very respectable looking woman, and offered him $500 for five grains of morphine. He said to her, “I suppose you will pay me with a » and she ripped $500 out of hor handbeg end offered it to him. Of course he refused. She was then on the way to Drs. Ralph and Ral ph, and they cured her. He followed up the case. == Mrs. Houts, I em writing you very frankly. Is Wilson. or anyone eble to vay, or would you care to have him committed to a state institution with only nominal expenses? ‘The thing that I feel, since Wilson is a resident of Missouri, is that other states will re- fuse to take him unless he is or becomes a resident of that state. Do you care for me to look into this Drs. Ralph and Ralph institution, find the cost and all details concerning the treatment and care, and advise you further concerning this situation? I will await your letter and as soon as 1 have the necessary inform- ation I will immediately act on this and other data that you give me, Will you also give me most of Wilson's background, what he has been doing or ettempting to do, where he is living, and if he is living with his wife, and so forth? I want this merely to better help out in working on the problem. Has he been employed at a11? And just how long has this total situation been going on? When you see Wilson please tell him that he can count On MCs : Is Rod in the service? You say he writes from Newfound- land, so we take it that he mist be in the Navy or in the Marines. Please assure Rod that we will do everything that we can for Wilson. Please give Rod the Allen's sincerest regards. I know that he is a great source of comfort to you. The Allens are in the midst of preparing for Jane's wedding which will take place in Lawrence on September 6, She is marrying a fine young man from Chicago.e He prepped at Exeter and finished at Princeton. He is a designing engineer and Jane is a designing artist. Now isn't that a pair of designers? She met this young man when her steady who was not Elwood Mons asked Elwood to take her home from the depot one night. It kind of sounds like "Speak for yourself, John," doesn't it? Well, the Allens are very happy with him, and this morning Mrs. Allen said, "I really wanted Mrs. Houts, but I kmew that she had her problems at home." lire. Allen said that she has been wanting to sit down and write you a long letter, but you kmow how lirs, Allen prepares for anything so + she just goes in one hundred per cent for preparation and she hasn't gotten around to the point of wkiting you. She got up at 4 o'clock this morning to write some letters and other details because she had @ dentist date which I took her to at 9:30. She oan thank her healthy forebears for her strength, She seems never to wear out end goes at en unprecedented clip, Sut all good things come to an end and I am sure that she is realizing that she mst slow up. I think this great stimalus is due to the wedding. She wants in perfect order for the wedding. She is very artistic and if there ~3e is one hair out of waee on any one of the principals it wuld 4 just be too bad. I did not tell you that Bobby is going to Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania and Eleanor, who has finished her sophomore year here will enter the University of Pennsylvania with Bobby. Bobby took his pre-medic work here and was fortunate enough to make Phi Beta Kappa, so we ere proud of him. Milton graduates from the Law School next summer, This is his second twelve months here going through ell the term. then he graduated in the Business School he took his pre-law work. So we are hoping that in his connection with the Stendard 011 Company, from which he took a leave of absence two years ago, that he will be happy in his new position. However, I would not be a bit surprised to see him went to practice on his own when he gets his degree, but that will be up to him. Me and Isebel have one pretty red-haired little ‘tyke three and a half years of age nemed Judith. ! has three children and she and Pete Hamilton are living in Louisville, or rather fmchorage, which is a suberb of Louis- ville. They are getting along especially fine and Mary, of course, is coming up for the wedding. Jane and Elwood Mons will live in Chicago in Marshall Fields Apartments there. If you should happen to get to Chicago some time on your deans's meetings I know that Jane would love to see you. I am gure that Mrs, Allen wll write you in the very neax future, but I just could not pass up the opportéinity of visiting with you a little wile.

Dear Harley, Thank you very much for your good letter regerding Wilson. He is doing fine and each evening he comes over to the house and visits with us. . Wilson is working for us here at the University on the stadium building and gounds shift and doing some fine work. I believe that he will get in good shape physically so that he can stand the work of Joe Westwood's foundry. I appreciate your mentioning this and I am writing Joe a letter today and am sending you a co,y of the sane. If you have a chance to give Joe a ring I would appreciate it. Anything thet you can do in Wilson's behalf will be greatly appreciated by mee I took your letter home last night and read 4% to Wileon, He seemed greatly pleased with the possibility. However, I told him that he would have to work hard around here for a while and make good and in addition he would have to get — in tip-top physical shape to stand foundry work. I believe that he will do it, Wilson is married and his wife has a child by a former marriage. This little tot had @ mastoid operation yesterday and Wilson had to make some arrangements at St. Luke's hospital . We helped him in this situgtion and he really is beginning to feel a share ef his responsibility. Thank you, Harley. Sincerely ° : Director of Physical Education and Recreation — FCA/pg Varsity B,sketball and Baseball Coach KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI November 11, 19/1 Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Director of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Forrest: The last time Wilson was in I told him that if he did not make connections at Remington-Arms to drop back and see me. I later called the Troost Arms Apartments and they advised me that he had moved, so I took it for granted that he had made connections and was living in or near Independence, I had a talk with Joe Westwood, who owns and operates the Blue Valley Foundry, 1711 East 12th St., and spoke to him about using Wilson and he said that he would be glad to use him, if he thought he could do the work. The first time Wilson was in I do not think he would have been able to do the work which Joe has, but if he has been taking care of himself since I last saw him, I believe he should be able to stand the average grind, for as you know, this foundry work is pretty heavy. A letter from you to Joe will, at least, give him every consideration, and since Joe is adding to his force daily, I would advise you to have Wilson drop in and have an in- © terview with him. It will, at least, be something to tide him over until we can find something better, although there is a good future in the foundry business for one who wishes to apply himself. oe ies Ass't.

That takes in both football . and basketball. I've said that big-time basketball is as uch a racket as big-tine football only tasketbell is on a smaller scale due to the fact that there’s not so much money ‘aken in at the gate. fhe same proseliting, the same abuses of making the boy feel that athletics are his primal purpose in college are dominant, but they are less apparent. The coaches are becoming preseliting hounds rether than teachers of physical education. Formerly, it was the barber shop that the , ‘couches hung out in and told the down town bunch about the activi~ ‘thes of the team. Now it's the banks ané the bond houses that the - Please understand me, I'm not saying that we do not have many fine coaches yet who do not do this thing, but what about the next gener= ation of coaches taken, of course, from the athletics who are play- ing now. If these present-day athletes get their laboratory ex- under the proseliting type of coaches what can we expect? If these present-day athletes get their board and room and tuition expenses paid for playing on en athletic team, whet will be the attitude of these fellows when they become coaches? ‘It is perfectly obvious that they will not be in the position to challenge the boys . ing the fine, high, standards that should obtain in regard to athletics, but they will go out to the market and buy them-the seme as any of the big-league clubs buy thoir beseball players. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not against football. I'm strong for football and I'm strong for basketball, but the coaches are making a racket out of it rather than a sport. The professional baseball =2- plays for bis base knocks and his fielding average. If he has a high rating in both he's a hold-out until they come across with more money, because he pulls them in at the gate. It is conceivable that there is exactly the same attitude of many of the Big players in inter-collegiate athletics. Let's look at such a boy when he gets through his three years of eligibility. He perhaps has not graduated or maybe he has, and if he has, he must go out and get the job as an apprentice at a small Salary. Such an outlook is not very glamorous to him -= he's been too used to everybody kow-towing and shouting, and when nobody shouts he can't take it. There's only one thing left for him to do and that's to go into professional athletics. He goes into them with the same attitude of case and luxury that obtained in college <= he wants the same Old hip-hip-hooray stuff and everybody cheering for him. But — after 4 or 5 years of getting along easily and following the easy, glamorous, lazy life -- what then? Well, just trail a Pro football club for a couple of years and listen into the dressing room statements of the participants or follow some of these independent basketball players who are playing basketball for big business houses for the advertising that they'll cive the company. These fellows will tell . you that it's a no=good racket. Now the lure of athletics has vanished and they're right back where they started -- a highly disillusioned bunches While the chaps who took their athletics for the fun of it and went to ecllege for something else are in an entirely different position. They did not expect athletics to carry them through life. They used their athl tics as a favorable introduction to society and business and they're happy that they participated in athletics because it was sheer fun and they made a lot of fine friends. But they're still hitting the ball and going on while the disillusioned Pro player is yelling “It's a gip!"® - That's my story, Mr. Hovey. The same story applies to basketball as to football, but most of the sports writers isolate +. There are as many racketeers in an athletic way coaching. thall as are coaching football. This type all want to win, but: hey went to proselite their material on _ the hoof rather than take the chance of losing. ‘These fellows don't want anything but the best material, and then it becomes a manager's job and not a coaches job to manage these young athletié broncos.
