De INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE
OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ATHLETICS
6 NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE
CENTRAL 2824 CHICAGO

March 1, 1929

Dr. Forrest C. Allen,

Director of Athletics,
University of Kansas,

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Phog:

The Football Coaches! Association asked me to publish the
proceedings of their last meeting in the Athletic Journal, which
we did as you possibly have noticed in the February number and
the reprint, copies of which we sent you. We printed our eight
thousand copies of the Journal and sent a copy to all of the
members of the Football Coaches! Association as well as to our
subscribers and further run off the reprints sending a number to
each of the officers of the Football Coaches! Association and one
to the members of the association as well. The Football Coaches
were glad to have us do this because it saved them the work of
getting out the proceedings and saved the money which they other-
wisc would have had to spend. At the same time we were glad to
do this because it not only helped the Journal but it, I am sure,
was a good thing for the high school and college coaches who are
not members of the association to receive the vroceedings. We have
about decided to send a copy of the proceedinzs to all of the
college presidents. I think it would be a good thing because if
the presidents will read the reports they will see that the foot-
pall coaches are doing some clear thinking regarding the develop-
ment in their own game and that they are a safe and conservative
crowd.

The puroose of this long letter is to suggest that should the
Basketball Coaches! Association care to have us print the proceed-
ings of your coming annual meeting that we would be glad to do it.
If any of the men, however, objected I would not want to see the
matter pushed. This then is just an offer to help if you think
it would be any help to the Basketball Coaches! Association.

Yours very sincerely,
