Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Your letter of April I6th. was just received. I am delighted to know thet you are still in the land of the living and that you are feeling so well. The man who made my machines died about a year ago but I have about twenty five on hand. After this stock is sold it would be rather difficult to have any more made unless it wes an order for the Army or Navy. In as much as I do not get to my farm at Forsyth as regularly as I used to, if you will address me at the YM C A,Atlante, Ga. and addressing me personally I would gsét the letter much quicker. I have a machine here now thet I could send to Dr. Peete if he still desires one. I always try to keep at least one machine with me in Atlanta all boxed ready to send off. Now that my State position hes terminated I have not as yet been able to make another connection. I have one very zood position under advisement but it would require my travelling the eleven southeastern States and that is not easy work these days even tho there is no selling etteched to the position. I would rather accept less money and have ae position right here in Atlante. That is wheat I am trving for now. With kindest regards end best wishes, I am, Sincerely yours, Frederick W. ce YMCA Atlentea, Ga. “ley 6, 1943. Mr. John F. Lance, Kensas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, Kansas. ‘ Dear Joi: Pardon me in not snawering your kind letter, in which you enclose congratulations for our basketball team. It is very nice of you to express yourself as you do. | I have delayed answering your letter thinking that I would set forth some reasons why eny rule that would prohibit the defensive team from touching the ball on the basket and per- mitting the offensive team to touch it would be discriminatory against the defensive team. In -any court of law « rule or a law that discriminates against one side does not hold. Therefore, the only rule that would not be disoriminatory, giving both sides an equal chance, would be the higher basket. I was amazed that the N.C.A.A. would not have enough legal knowledge to make such a ridiculous rule as‘they did. Such rule only adds disrespect for rule-makers. With all good wishes to you, I am Sincerely yours, Direotor of Yhysical Education, FOA:AH | Varsity Basketball Coach.

HUGHES, PRESIDENT PITTSBURG, KANSAS March 17, 1943. Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Coach of Basketball, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: es First I want to congratulate you for having had another splendid basketball team and for having i gone undefeated through your Conference schedule ae to another Championship. I enjoyed working in es several of your games. You had a great bunch of E boys who could come through when it was needed, os I worked in the Oklahoma-Oklahoma A.& M. series and those games indicated to me rather ‘ clearly that we should have some kind of a rule to protect a team against the abnormally tall player. I contend that if an offensive team can work the ball in for a scoring opportunity and get their shot away, they should not be deprived of an opportunity of scoring two points Just because the opponent has a monstrocity parked under their basket vho can jump and reach the ball above the basket, yet not in the 18" cylinder protected by the present rule. Iba played his seven foot center for about three ' quarters of the game at Stillwater and he intercepted ae about every shot that Oklahoma took. Twice goals { were allowed for his getting his hand in the restricted . area above the goal, The Oklahoma players were bewildered ee by not being able to get a shot to reach the basket and had to resort to banking their shots, I suggest one of two rule changes or poth. fat/ i goals can be raised to a point where the(bigy p = i can not reach the ball which would virtually eliminate ‘= him as an effective player, or we can have a rule that will prohibit the defensive team from touching the ball after the offensive team has successfully gotten a shot away, until the ball has either made or missed the goal, SS ae Pi aK I shall be interested in learning what you may | think of these suggestions. I know that you have been | an advocate of raising the baskets, for years. April 23, 1943. _ Ur. A. W. Livingston, c/o Ee W. Bacharach Co., pool.

This is particularly appreciated due to the fact that I know how crowded you are. It is doubtful if we will have an opportunity to accept your kind offer due to gasoline and rubber rationing. We are making every effort to get the new high - school gymnasium completed and if it is accomplished within the next two or three weeks, we will be able to carry on after a fashion. You know the Methodists are hard to keep down. They are very easy to knock down as Tuesday night's basketball game will attest, but we hope they will not be easy to keep down.
