Sept. ll, 1941 Mr. Carl Jessup 1158 Jackson Wichita, Kansas Dear Carl, I was shocked and grieved beyond measure to learn of the passing of your lovely wife. Only those who have traveled the Golgotha Road can appreciate what a shock it is to lose someone so dear to youe In 1925 we lest our oldest son, Forrest, Jre, and I assure you that I know to what depths your sorrow reaches. There is only one thing to do, Carl, and that is to keep busy. Time is the eraser of all sorrow, but time will fly faster when you work incessantly. Words ars so inadequate at a time like this, but I believe if you could get a coaching job and put your all - into that work that it would be the very best thing under the con- ditions. We regret that we are not going to have you back with us this fall. We were counting so much on it. However, if at any time there is anything we can do to help you in any way, please command us. With a deep and sincere understanding I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pg Varsity Basketball Coach October 16, 1941 Mr. H. P. Johnson 6680 Ohic St. Gnaha, Nebraska Dear Mr. Johnson, ‘ she I woulé be very clad te have you as my guest for the Iows State geme at Lewrence on October 25. I assure you it will be a pleasure to have you with us. You certainly are a loyal and enthusiastic follower of the fine - sport of football as it should be played. I can tell by the way you write that you keep in close contact with things athletic and it is apparent thet your outlook on the Kansas football ‘situation is a very intelligent and wholesome one. Will you please tell me what time you will arrive? If you drive, of course you may come to my office in the cyanne lime I have a gign above my door, “Department of Physical Education”. I'd be very happy to see you and I'm sure 1 St ee ee enjoy a very pleasant gotworestion. Will you reply at your convenience? Sincerely, . : Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pg Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach 6680 ohio Street Omaha, Nebraska, October 15,1941. Mr. F. C. Allen, University of Kansas, os Lawrence, Kansas. My dear Mr. Allen: The writer wishes to take this liberty of writing to you relative to our correspondence of last fall on the question of football vs. basket-ball which originated from a speech that you made at a high school football dinner in Kansas City last fall. You probably recollect the letter that you received from me and of the long and most interesting letter that you wrote to me and in which you out- lined in detail the struggles that you have had to create an athletic plant at Kansas University. Also you may recollect my second letter in which I stated that I was mis-informed when I wr: wrote my first letter to you. Mr Allen there was one thing about our correspondence that I have not forgotten, and this was the invitation that I should call on you in the event that I should come to Lawrence during the football season. You recollect from my letters that I am a native Kansaa and a booster for old K.U, and that my football enthusiasm for the Jayhawkers starts from the days of the great Tommy Johnson. You recollect that you told me in your long letter of the days of Johnson, Pooler, Donald and others and of ythe picture in your office of Tommy Johnson. Does this invitation still stand and what game would be most convéniént to you, the Iowa State or when the alumni of the Coffeyville, Kansas High School, and now known as the Missouri Tigers tangle with the Jayhawkers. I make this statement because at least two in the first team from Missouri and two or three in the second and third teams are all from Coffeyville, Kansas, and futhermore I wish to challenge anyone to prove to me that anyone from Coffeyville has played during the past ten years on either the K.U. or K.State football teams. I am not very interested in the K.U. K.S. game. I would certainly be very pleased to visit you Mr Allen and see the athletic department of K.U. and also to meet some of the gentlemen connected with the football end, and to outline my plan for an intensive campaign against every high school in the state to endeavor to keep Kansas boys at their fine University or else at K.State. Colorado with Jim Yeager is getting all the promising material from the Western part of the state and his assistant Prentup is luring the boys away from Manhattan, Nebraska scouts swarm all over the Northern part, Oklahome and Missouri the South and Lynn Waldorf, McMillin and Ralph Graham combing the entire state. So here you have the writers outlook of the Kansas football situation. But I do want to congratulate you on your great success with basket-ball and to wish you another conference title which will offset the football situation. Ve ( ely)yours iw ‘ Bh.

Dear Phog, It has been sometime now since I have been at Kansas, at least it seems like allong time, and in reality has been but seven months, Since then many things have happened, far to numerous to write about here. Perhaps the most interesting to you would be the fact that I am now enérolled here at Ohio University, which in- cidentally has a pretty fair basketballiteam now and then, if you will remember last year's Madison Square Garden Invitation tournament, My degision to transfer here was due to various reasons, However my heart is not here with me, it stayed in Kansas. On the other hand T am making grades here that I never made at Kansas, much higher, and I am learning a great deal more. This is no reflection on the school, it is merely that here I do not have the outside interests, nor the various worries that were always with me out there, The main reason that I am writing to you is to ask of you a favor, naturally, (what other reason do people have for writing?) and that favor is small. Next spring I intend to go out for spring football here, more for the exercise than for any prospect of making the team, Now I want to get into some kind of shape before I undertake this, as I have run down quite a bit since starting to school. I was wondering if you could possibly, in your spare moments, which I realize are few, jot down a system by which I could round myself into some kind of shape. I have full use of the gym, although I am not taking any physical education work, and all the equipment, so that I could follow about any proceedure that you might outline. I would certainly appreciate it. It appears as though the basketball seasom is upon us, and I suppose that as usual, KE U will come through with a better than usual team. No doubt it will be somewhat better this year with "Cappy" back, and the better than average stock of sophmore material. I will follow the team agusual even though I am about a thousand miles away. I read the Star daily, and keep right up with the progress.

Medenbach, SS = Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dear Sirs I have just talked with Dr. E, R. Elbel, Associate Professor of Physical Education of the University of Kansas, about my qualifi- cations for the physical education work which is available in your department. I will have at the end of this semester thirty hours of Physical Education and by the end of the year, I will have my master's de- gree in Education and Physical Education. I have also four years experience as director of athletics and physical education in public schools. I am now employed as Assistant in the Department of Physical Education at the University of Kansas, and as Director of all intramural sports, physical education instructor and coach at the Lawrence Junior High School. If I should be called within the next few months, and if, in your opinion, I would qualify for such a position, would it be possible to be deferred until I could finish and obtain my master's degree this dune? Since my classification is "1-H", it is quite likely that I may be called before it would be possible to obtain my degree. I am 29 years of age and single. If this could be arranged, I would like to have an application to fill in so that if and when I em called, the preliminary steps would be taken care of and I could continue with the type of work — which I have been doing. I should like to hear from you soon. Yours truly, UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE DEAN January 20, 1942 MEMORANDUM Dre Forest C.
