Mr. Lee Po Benton, 37 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, Mass. Dear Lee: x The basketball season is over and I guess it ig not necessary to advise you not to get in that league. I would say thet basketball is too strenuous for you, but doubtless you went ahead and played a good game. I certainly would not advise it for a friend or relative of mine. Handball is strenuous enough. Volley ball is the thing that would be just about right for a busy man, such as you are. _ Volley ball would provide you with a lot of sooial contacts, friendly relations, and so forth, without that hypertension that exists in basketball or in handball. A feliow who has to get up the noxt morning end have all the zip that a salesman has - well, ita just a little too much, I would say. | : Z would like to write you a long paragraph end tell you how we coach our boys not to foul. It is a mtter, of course, of individual defensive fundamental teaching. We teach the boys not to foul but it is founded upon good fundamentals. Pulling the arms back and keeping the forearms on a line with the body rather than overlapping is one of the first fundamentals, and then the underhand eut rather than the over~ hend, using the extension under. But I will wait util I meet with you ‘before I go into the explanation of teaching you this new non-fouling Gane e ; Rather than to write you a longer letter I am sending you a mimeographed letter that I have written to all the boys in ‘tthe service. This will give you a resume of all the basketball season and will also tell you that Mrs. Webster and Earl Falkenstien have moved over in Mr. Kloos's office. Thank you for sending me the picture of Jack Ballard cheering in the Great Lakes game. It really is a good picture of the big seamp, isn't it? a With all good Wishes, I am | Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach. ee LEE P. BENTON 37 COMMONWEALTH AVENUE CHESTNUT HILt, MASSACHUSETTS REPRESENTING HALLMARK CARDS February 14, 1943 Dr. Forrest Ce Allen Athletic Dep't. University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: You will probably be surprised to hear from me but I've been intending towrite you for some time to ask your advice on a matter -and also to congratulate you on your fine basketball team this year. I was in Kansas City at Christmas time, but for the first time since I graduated in 1931 I did not make the trip over to Lawrence to see my old friends there. I had intended to get over, but when I read that you were on a trip to Buffalo and New York City I decided not to make the trip. I did want to see the book presented to you on your 25th anniversary and also wanted to get a glimpse of your team. Is there a chance that you will be playing again in New York in March in the Invitation Tournament? If so, I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Boston being a poor basketball town the only news I get on this sport is from the occasional Kansas City paper sent to me by my mother or the occasional New York Times I buy. I had a complete nervous breakdown last year about this time which the doctors at the Lahey Clinic here said was brought on by a number of things, such as overwork, late hours, living alone, irregular meals, irregular sexual intercourse, etc. My weight went down from 190 to 159 pounds. The doctors also said they thought I should try to keep active in some sport the year ‘round inasmuch as I had always been so active in all sorts of athk tics in high school and college. Of course I ama golf bug in the summer, but have not taken up any sport the rest of the year until last spring after my illness. I used to bowl a lot in Kansas City, but they bowl only the candle pins here which do not appeal to me. After a month in Florida to recuperate last year I returned to Boston and joined the Y-M.C.A. fhe exercise did wonders for me, and after a summer of golf I compk tely regained my physical health and I now weigh 202 pounds, the most I've ever weighed in my life. Do you need a good tackle at K. U. next fall? This fall I again joined the Y.M.C.A. and one night while shooting baskets the basketball director walked up to me and asked me where I had played. He had heard of you and asked me if I wouldn't play on one of their league teams. I have played in several of their games and get a big kick out of it--in fact caged 9 baskets in about 15 minutes one night recently. However, a couple of doctors have strongly advised me to give this up asthey say at 35 I am too old for such strenuous exercise as basketball as played today. Of course I have refused to play more than 15 minutes at a time, but they seem to think that is even too much. In a recent physical checkup I was found to be perfect in every waye ‘The other players in this league are all under 30, most of them being 17 to 24 years of age. What would be your advice on this? I know you will tell it to me straight. COTE What a chenge in basketball since my-days at Ke Ue This one= handed shooting, even from the free-throw line, --the loose guarding, high scores, etc. To some the game may be more interesting, but I prefer the old time games of scientific defenses and 24 to 23.-scorese I saw a game the other night between Rhode Island State and Northeastern which Rhode Island won 106 to 78. Hell, they didn't even try to guard the fellow shéoting. It was just a question of who made the greatest percentage of shots and who had the most substitutes to wear the other team down. : I also notice a much closer calling of fouls when guarding today. What is the best method to guard a player without fouling him? If you come into bodily contact such as Frosty Cox or Frenchy Belgard used to inflict you would be out of the game in five minutes. I know you are quite busy, Phog, mt hope you will find time to drop me a line. Please give my regards to Mrs. Allen and the other members of your family--also Mrs. Webster and the others in the office. I hope to see you if you make another trip to New York. Sincerely yours, —e<_2R_ P.S.--I got a big kick out of the enclosed picture. Would you please send me a schedule of your games and list the scores of games already played? Mr. Wa. Blair, Blair Milling Company, Atchison, Kansas. Dear Billy: I want you to lnew how very uuch I enjoyed ny visit with you and Julia in your lovely home last Tuesday — evening. - I am sending you a copy of the speech I made at Cape _ Girardeau in which I analyzed the football situation fron ite monetary and somewhat ugly side. Of course you know - that I believe in intereollegiate ethletios, but not in the way they are going “big time", because in that way it is no indication of « man's coughing ability. It is an indication of his ability to assemble high-powered talent by subsidies . and of course the boy does not get an edusation in «= major~ ity of these cases. He is a badly disillusioned boy when he gets out of college, thinking somebody gypped hin, be- cause he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.
