Fifty~ — two netions are playing basketball today. You doubtless know that over eighty million people attend basketball in the United States. This is fran the bulletin of the Ue. 5.

I heard eight outstanding educators make that state- ment from one platform two years ago. Just as you teach education through play in the kindergarten, the elenents of basketball are so blended that they hook up with the educators' theory of education through play.

THOMAS SEMINARY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BASEBALL - HOCKEY - BASKETBALL - TENNIS BLOOMFIELD, CONNECTICUT January 25, 1940 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: It has been quite some time since I have written oh ou, although I still follow up with a great deal of interest, sek TP aceanee the other night against Missouri) with dismay, the doings of your Kansas team. I have your books, both of them and still find them not only interesting but decidedly helpful. I have a problem on my hands and wish you would help me. We start off with the man-to-man, and stick to it until things go bad, then we switch to the zone. We play the 3-2, although when the man comes back in the bucket, my center drops back quite a bit. Here is what puzzles me. Perhaps if I tell you what we do first, then you will be able to correct me. Assuming that we line up in the 3-2 position, and the bail is passed directly behind one of the forwards, then my guard on that side comes up immediately and the forward turns around. These two players, guard and forward, are supposed to smother the ball and stop the second pass. When this occurs, the other guard comes over immediately from his zone and takes up a position under the basket, and is ready to shogt into the zone vacated by his fellow guards, ae. In the meantime, the center drops back and, depending on whether we are behind or ahead, the other forward drops back to the vacated guard zone or makes a fast break up the floor. How do you play it? Putting the question another way, when the ball is passed behind a forward, what do the two men on the other side of the court, guard and forward do? I wish that you would outline the positions that the other men take when the ball has been passed inside. I think that we play it better than any of the other teams around here and yet, I am unable to find in your book where you have outline the new positions for the men once that pass has been made inside. Again, when the shot is taken over the heads of the players, that is the long shot, what do your two forwards do? Some time when you have a little time on your hands, I shall appreciate greatly your clarifying the situation for me. There is a very decided difference of opinion in this particular section as to just what should happen once that first sce pass has been made inside. Qur new gym has at last become a reality and while it will not be ready this year, we will have it next year. That will be a great load off my shoulders since, as I believe I told you some time ago, we practice now in a playhall where, when I stand on toes, I can touch the ceiling. Onee a week, I have an opportunity to get the boys downtown but that is not enough. Even at that, we have taken four of the six games*Ya all poor coaches will say "We should not have lost those two." e I have my youngster on the team this year. He is growing very fast, just over the six-foot mark and weighing nearly 160. He will not be sixteen until next March so you can see that he is going to be a big fellow. He is just a reserve this year, but next year, he should, with any luck at all, be one of the first five. He has developed a nice left hand shot and since he is a natural right-hander, it is getting rather hard to stop him. All he needs is experience. Right now, he is the best shot I have. I hope that everything has been going along nicely out there, and that all of you have been enjoying the best of health. I often think of Milton, particularly in connection with that incident described in your last book. It certainly turned out nicely, and the chances are that both of you recall, with pleasure and pride, what hag gone on before. in the final analysis, he was, wasn't he, a thoroughbred? Isn't it nice to be able to say that, and isn't it still nicer to be able to realize that you are not exaggerating in saying as much. I am always glad to hear from you, and hope that you can find time during an otherwise busy season to write me again. Kind personal regards. Sincerely, : Fai . a oe AJB:AG P. S.

BROOKS, PRINCIPAL WICHITA, KANSAS August 16, 1959 De. F. 6. Ailten University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas My dear Dr. Allen: You may have heard that Edd Wood has resigned as physical director and basketball coach at Hast High School. We shall be looking for someone to fill his place, and I should like to have you advise us. I remember you told me once that you regarded Dad Perry very highly for a position of that kind, but I feel sure that he wouldn't be interested in this place. Dad is not enthusiastic about coaching, and we would not be able to pay him enough to tempt him away from the job he now has. The situation here in Wichita is not very desirable right now. A great deal is expected of the physical education men in the field of coaching, and the salary is meager for that kind of work. It isn't going to be that way forever, though. Wichita has money enough to pay its teachers adequately, and the time is not far off when there will be a suffi- cient change in policy so that they can afford to come to Wichita. I feel sure that a place in the Wichita schools will eventually be worth while, if 4t is not at the present moment. If you have anyone whom you can recommend for this place, I should feel most grateful to you if you would suggest it to him, and at the same time let us know. I have asked that we go slow until we get the right person, even though we have to put on a substitute for a while. Had a fine summer at Lawrence, and hope 1 will be asked to teach again.
