STANFORD UNIVERSITY oe OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA March 19, 1940 Drs F.C. Allens University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Last night at nine o'clock, I wired you as follows: "Impos- Sible to rearrange work. Sorry. Suggest DeGroot. Leith in Denver. Letter follows." While we were talking on the phone my hasty calculations made me feel that I could make arrangements to come back for the week- end. However, I went to the office immediately after our talk and found that I had arranged for so many meetings that it was just out of the question to try to change or cancel all of them. You see this is at the end of our quarter and therefore is a very busy time. This office has a lot of loose ends to pick up in preparation for the Spring Quarter. I had also arranged a meeting of twenty people for Sunday and another meeting for Saturday night. You see, 1 was just like an old fire horse when he hears the gong; I wanted to come to Kansas City. I appreciate very much the invitation which you gave me, and I hope my necessary change of plan did not upset any publicity you may have started before you received my wire. I know you are going to have a good tournament. You always do a good job of ad- vertising, and I wish you the best of luck with your tean. In this connection, some ~~ concerning U.S.C., should you meet them, may be helpful. hey are an excellent ball-—handling team. This year they are playing a lot more aggressive basketball than in the past. They are even taking one-handed shots, which is rather unusual for U.S.C. They have probably one of the best bal- anced teams they have every had. sears, the center, is the only tall man as a regular. He must be about 6 feet 3, and is a very clever boy around the basket with pivot shots and tip-ins. Vaughn is the boy who is touted as a star, but to my mind he is considerably over-rated. He is a very weak defensive player and actually is not much good except when he has the ball. He does not rustle for the ball but expects to be fed. It is well to re- member that he is a full left-hander. Our guards played well to his left and practically shut him out. I would concede him all the baskets he would make with his right hand or all the shots he could get by dribbling around to his right; in other words, smother Bie that left hand. Vaughn is a good long shot, but shoots more or less © egg me mee EES. BERS ATES EST ETE REESE UT I RE ATE IEEE NE ANITA FRY y EE PE Fe ae ae SR Sa EE koe pan oe Wein Dr. Allen: #2 underhanded, so is not too hard to guard. He is small and quick and it does not pay to let him get loose. You may be interested to know that he does not get along too well with his teammates, and as a consequence, they do not pass to him as much as they might. We found this out early in the season and it helped to stop him. You know, he was beaten out as the scoring champion in the Conference. Morrison, who plays the other forward, is an excellent shot from the side of the court. He is really the boy who keeps them in the ball game. Don't give him a chance to shoot at any time. McGarvin is their rugged guard. He is a rough, tough player. He does not shoot a great deal but can hit long. Lippert, the other guard, is a small, quick boy. He shoots a great deal and sometimes gets hot. However, he is not the most consistent player. The one substitute who is outstanding is Lambert. He is a substitute forward. He is an Indiana boy and an aggressive type of player who shoots fairly well. Lhis year U.S.C. has been playing a rushing game. Jhey have forced the play in the back court and do an effective job of it. They use a partial quick break but it is nothing outstanding. They depend more on their ball handling to work the ball in for short or medium long shots. You will find that they charge a great deal in their dribbling, and if the officials are not alert, the defense will get the worst of the deal. Sam, of course, will scream to high heaven if his players are fouled for charging. U.S.C. is helpless against a good shifting defense. We stopped them cold by crossing them up in this respect. +heir game is naturally built for a man-to-man team. I am diagramming two movements that represent their type of play. If you are pitted against them, I hope you may find this helpful. this may '-all sound like treason, but you know my attitude. Naturally I shall expect you to treat the information confidentially. I am sorry that I can't be back to see the tournament, but thank you again for inviting me.
