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
that all of them came through. However, the grandparents have gone —
to war in a big way. We have alternately taken care of several families —
of our children, but it has been a lot of ets

Sincerely,

Forrest C. Allen
Director, Fhysical Education
Varsity Basketball Coach
