Dear Dean Lawson:

Acknowledging your two letters of July 4th and Sth,
I have enclosed the cards and the letter in a note which I have -
sent to Miss loover, « gam asking for her recommendation
before returning the cahie’ to your office. |

 

In regard to Mr. dhanieste negligence, I assure you
that no one regrets that more than I, We have Mre. Hulteen .
diligently checking these records for several years now, and
in my opinion she is without a doubt the most efficient
secretary who has worked for this University for yearse When
errors like this oreep in with Mrs. Multeen on the job, TI am
not too optimistic regarding our ability to carry on without
any errorse

We have had similar errors in other colleges, and
they have been adjusted but we have been able to survive through
the war effort, and still keep our equimimity.

Regarding your request that hereafter Mr. Shaake not
be placed in charge of instruction physical education classes,
I am referring that matter to my superiors in administration.

‘
Sincerely your Sy

My dear Doctor Allen;

On March § of this year William W. DeWolf enrolled in
Physical Education. He withdrew from all his classes
March 26, to join the air corpse The records show that

in spite of being in school just three weeks he was given
a grade of D for the entire semester's work by Mre Schaake.

You will recall that several times previously I have called
your office about errors of this and other sorts made by
Mr. Schaakee Such errors repeated semester after semester
have caused me to lose all faith in the way in which he
keeps his records, and consequently, in the grades which

he turns in at the end of the semester.

i am writing, therefore, to ask that hereafter Mr. Schaake
not be placed in charge of any class in Physical Educatione

Sincerely yours,

LONG HOPS WITH LOU!

About Dis a Dat t In Sports:

When Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, outstanding athletic|
‘figure in the midwest section of the United States and veteran
basketball coach at the University of Kansas,
yelled “wolf” several months ago and asserted
that a basketball “scandal that would stink to
high heaven” was in the making, most of the
folks laughed at him.

But today they’ve changed their tune. The
oldtime mentor really had something on the
ball when he made tis chatee

* *

To be sure, the so called scandal hurts
intercollegiate sports competition in more ways
than one. And on this point the Kansas U.
mentor places the blame for it squarely on the oe
National Collegiate Athletic association Dr. Allen
(NCAA).

He scores the NCAA officials for sending the basketball
teams right into the nest of professional gambling and then, in
the next breath, deplores pene on collegiate athletics.

* *

“The National Collegiate Athletic association met in Columbus in
January and expressed ‘regret’ at the prevalence of gambling on
intercollegiate sports,’ Allen revealed. “But they continue to team
up with professional promoters to hold tournaments in arenas where
everyone knows big. time gamblers operate in hordes.”

* *

“What a paradox,” yelled Phog.

“It is a sad commentary on the NCAA,” Phog observed, “when with
the top teams of the nation it is forced to seek aid from professionals
to conduct its own tournament.

“The .political oligarchy of the NCAA is busy keeping a self-perpet-
uating group in power rather than trying to smash at the cancer eating
at the heart of intercollegiate athletics,’ Allen contended.

“They’d better get busy or intercollegiate sports will be deader than
a door nail. These Brooklyn gamblers charged with giving bribes are
just small timers. Just peanuts,

 

“There are some really big operators back east. It will take more
than talk to stop those babies,” the colorful veteran coach believes.

unhappy to be disartioulated from old Wittenberg. 1 certainly
would liked to have had you with me here, but changes have taken
place that I imagine will never work out the way that I wanted
them to for yous

Dear Phog,
Happy New Yeart

As much as I was distressed by the recent Brooklyn-Akron tamper-
ing, I was delighted, too, because it came at a time when your
honest charges needed more specific example.

You know, as well as I know, that truth in most of its forms is
more than unwelcome by most human beings, and I am certain that
your fearlessness (based upon a love of good sport) would
necessarily bring some noisy denial.

But may your right arm be strong whenever and wherever you dare
to continue to speak the truth.

Yours sincerely,

August 24, 1945

Dear Dr. Allen:

Many thanks for your letters of Aug I4 and 20th.
I havent heard anything from either of these
prospects as yet.

Al that was possible to do during the War was to
crawl along at a snails pace. from now on material
is available.

Yours of the 14th sounds interesting as I am now
engaged head over heels in an industrial develop-
-ment just out of the City limits of Atlanta that
has all the mymptoms of being a winner so 1 havent
much time to devote to anything else. I do think
that it about six months too soon for the Foot
Normalizer business until more of the Army boys
return and make salesmen available. Specialty shoe
salesmen should handle this as a combining line. I
tried this out and it works.

I do not know what to offer you on a deal why dont
you give a little thought to what way you could
work this to our mutual advantage. After all if we
do not both stand to benefit it would be foolish to
make a deal. Give this some thought as I am now in
a mood to free myself for this new venture.

I look for a five year period of great business
activity and plenty of money in circulation. Those
are the only times that money can be made.

Sincerely yours,

small bit toward giving a degree of reading pleasure to our

Russia's declaration of war against Japan was most

great flurry ran through Lawrence, akin to few things which
happen here. Certainly it will not be long now.

Dear George: x

I do not know of two finer basketball coaches in the |
country than Arthur "Dutch" Longorg or Johnny Bunn. Both of the
boys played football and basketball for me when I was coaching
both sports back in 1920. “Dutch" graduated with an LLD degree in
the Law College, and Bunn has a succession of degrees, Engineering,
Education, and is not far from his Doctorate. Adolph Rupp, of the
University of Kentucky, and Foresty Cox, of the University of
Colorado, and Louie Menz, Athletic Director and Basketball Coach
at Iowa State College, are others.

I do not know that I put the last three in the order
named, but they are a little younger. Rupp played only basketball,
while Cox played fowtensti, and Meng played football, basketball,
and baseball.

Bunn assisted me in basketball before going to Stanford, and
Lonborg coached my freshmen. Cox followed Bunn as my assistant.

If there is any further help that I ean render you in the.
way of information, please feel free to ask it.

My regard and friendship for yma is truly reciprocal. I do
appreciate you kind remark. Mrs. Allen will be happy to hear from
you. We have three service stars, but we are thankful to the Almighty

Dear friend "Phog”:

I have always had the highest regard for you
as a man and as one of America's leading basketball coaches.
There will be a vacancy here in the Department of Basketball,
this year, and I would appreciate any recommendations you
might be prompted to make. |

I have felt, too, that you might be justified
in placing your protege, "Dutch" Lonberg of Northwestern,
high on your list of coaches, whom you have developed; also,
Bunn, your former assistant, who went to Stamford, following
which he was appointed Dean of Men.

You may have many more of their calibre, but I
do know that sound, potential and successful basketball coaches
are rare.

Would appreciate hearing from you and will
express our appreciation for your attention to this confiden-
tial matter in advance. Incidentally, we will be pleased to
reimburse you for any expense incurred.

With kindest regards to you, Mrs. Allen and the
