A. U. tourna- ment at Denver and another ex- Jdavhawk made the second ail- America team. The first. team -all-Americas who | received their college training under | Dr: F. CC; “Phog® Allen of Kansas were Ray Ebling, 6ft. 3in., forward, and Dick Wells, husky guard. On the second team was Fred Pralle, | a high-class guard. | Ebling was an all-America col-| | Yege selection during all three years ‘ that he wore the crimson and blue _of Kansas. . Previously he had been - a star at Lindsborg High School. At K. U. Ebling led the Big Six in. seoring for three years. Ebling tied the conference scor- | ing record his sophomore year and | then smashed it as a senior. His first year saw the accurate Jay- hawk piling up points with an ac- curate left-hand shot. As a junior, and senior, however, he brought | into vogue the under hand “scoop” | shot. Following his graduation from| the University in 1936, Fhbling| joined the Bartlesville (Okla.) | Phillips “66” team and he has been ; a member of that quintet since. The Oilers finished second at Denver. The National A.A.U. ehampion- | ship was won by the Denver Nug: | gets, a team of which Dick Wells | was a member.

Mr.F.C.Allen, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Mr.Allen:— As the first semester of the school year draws to @ close,I have been wondering if it would be too much trouble to ask your apinion as to the advisibility of having my two boys,Gene and Charles continue in school. I relize that you are very busy at the time of the year but I do not know any one else to whom I might go who would or could give me this infor- mation and be perfectly honest and fair. I relize too that it is not every one who is fitted and able to take a college education but it has always been my hope that my children could do better than I did,therefore I am wondering if the two boys are of college caliber. Also I would like to know just what the cost will be,or as nearly as you can tell, because I am going to have to secure financial backing for them if they are to continue. Thus far they have each made his own way and other than the enroliment fee and books,I think they can continue to do so. Thanking you for yor interest and co- operation thus far and trusting that the request is not asking too much of you or yor time,I am Yours truly Boe : x 3 (Pt haceeal : . a ae re Pe eee we ctl wv 148y Zit “eter 2 gir ant, KY, cr BAe Bom / os Cee ries ézZ 2 A Wow | Pry, tame fii Mare Ja. cece ere /) oon Ae F zi 7 c i ae faa GEORGE C.

Special bargains of this kind sell fast and it isn't possible to replace our stock when the original supply has been sold. Unfor- tunately, we have nothing to offer at the same price but would like to fill your order with similar shirts from our regular line at the price of 35¢ each. May we supply some of that type garment? If you do not want the full quantity of six dozen we will gladly mail any number that you can use. Very truly yours, LOWE & CAMPBELL ATHLETIC GOODS CO.

All sizes are fairly large and we believe you will find them satis~ factorye Our stock of these is always limited, the shirts being seconds to regular stock garments of this kind made in our factory here, There isn*t any way to order the sizes or colors that we want -- we must take whatever happens to be a second shirt.

BRANDENBURG, A. M., LL.D., PRESIDENT PITTSBURG, KANSAS August 28, 1939. Mr. Forrest C. Allen, Coach of basket ball, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: I have had a group of Boy S¥outs out in the Mountains for three weeks and have just returned to Pittsburg and find your letter of the 14th. Thanks for the information on the combination electric score board and timer. ‘Ye have not placed our order as yet as there has been no need to rush and there may be new ideas incorporated in boards that come out this fall Please think nothing of your delay in making reply to my letter. I expect that all of us have been guilty some time or another of misplacing an unanswered letter. In regard to my calling violations made in some of your games when a player, I believe that you mentioned Golay, entered the free throw lane before the ball had touched either the goal or the backboard, I will say that I have been forced to call this several times in Big Six Conference games as there is quite a tendency to step into the lane as the ball leaves the thrower's hands. I have failed to call it many times when the violation occured but any time I did call it, I assure you that the offending player had his foot parked in the lane long before the ball touched the basket or backstop. I believe that I understand this rule very well but want to thank you for your interpretation just the same. 2 ite wen While on the topic of rules, I might say that your boy Howard FEngleman seemed to not understand the rule regulating what can be done with the feet by the player with the ball. In your Kansas State game at Lawrence, I called him for traveling twice and during a time out period, he asked me why I had called . him. One time he changed his pivot foot, after having . pivoted on one foot he then pivoted on the other. The | other time he came to a stop in a two count rhythm with one foot in advance of the other and pivoted on the forward foot. Howard is a swell kid and I know him well enough that he felt free to ask me which I was glad that he did. I have appreciated the opportunity to have worked in a few of your ball games in recent years and have hoped to be favored with Other assignments. Lawrence is my nearest point in the Big Six Conference and I am best known by fansas people. I feel well qualified after twenty five years of study, coaching and officiating to properly call any game. I have an inborn sense of fairness and I have the courage to call what happens as I see it happen. I am human and will make mistakes and appreciate knowing of my mistakes so I will not repeat them. Thanking you again for your good letter and all past favors. I am Very sincerely yours, JFL:ad October 9, 1959.
