Ge Alien Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: | I tried to answer your letter of April 14th in person but found that you had taken on the baseball team for a‘little relaxation during the spring and as a con- sequence you were at Ames at the time I called at the office. Your report of the final play-off on the NCAA tallied very closely with the reports which Everett Dean brought to me. Jack Friel seems to be in the habit of pulling stunts which are not the most strategic or which have not the desired psychological effect on his boys. In any case they certainly seemed to be playing under par against Wisconsin. It is undoubtedly true, however, that the type of game Wisconsin played against Washington State affected the results a great deal. It is too bad that we have to put up with such unsportsmanlike playing. George Nettles came up from Pittsburg for a short visit. It was good to see him. You probably know that we saw the Rose Bowl game together. It was fun to be around the campus. Since I have become Dean of Men my trips east have become more infrequent. It was for this particular reason that I enjoyed seeing so many of my old friends. The campus certainly looked fine. I would like to get back for Commencement and help with the Seventy-Fifth Celebration but I am afraid my recent trip east exhausted the family budget. Sorry that I missed you. Sincerely yours, a May 7th, 1941 Mr. John Baun Dean of Men Stanford University Stanford, California Dear John: I just received your good letter of the second instant and I assure you that I regretted more than you know, missing you when you were in Lawrence about ten days ago. I certainly would have enjoyed a "bull fest" with you and George. Yes, I have taken on baseball because I was vain enough to listen to the supplications of some orphan baseball players. Two years ago, Ralph Conger, freshman coach of football, was asked to coach baseball. Conger had never played the game. He left to coach Wentowrth Military Academy. Last year, Mike Getto was given the baseball team to coach and he had never played the game. Mike left last year to coach the ss Dodgers. So, I was asked by the boys and Dean Stockton, member of the board, if i would take over the baseball team. Three years ago, the Varsity boys came in to me and asked me to coach the team. I told them that was up to the Director of Athletics. Last year they again came to me and asked me to coach and I gave them the same answer and told them if they wanted me to take the team the Director of Athletics should ask Me Gwinn came into my office and asked me if I would take the team, stating that there was no additional money for coaching it and that he didn't want to ask me to assume extra duties with no extra pay. He rather thought it would be asking too much of me. But frankly, Johnnie, I felt sorry for the youngsters. The fact that most of the players knew a lot more than the coach made a most embarrassing situation and the crewd would sit and laugh at the antics of the ball. — has not been ooo eee here for several years and as a consequence, things have run "down at the heels" in this sport. You can appreciate this when I tell you that my entire infield on the Varsity had never played a game of Varsity and Fresh- man baseball for “ansas. You may not remember Johnny Krum, Virgil Wise, and Elmo “aiden, but all these little fellows were in that peat eeh Junior League that you, Doctor Bice and I coached. Bobbie Allen has not played any baseball since he graduated from the Junior League and has played very little Ban Johnson Ball, but we have him playing first base and serving as relief pitcher. Bob has been very busy preparing for his entrance to the Medical School at the University of Pennsylvania, and incidentally, winning a Phi Beta Kappa key. So, he has not been out for baseball until this spring and that was after a very strenuous basketball season. We played some good games but we have had only eight days of practice. I ' have never seen such rainny weather. Oklahoma beat us two to one, at Norman. The second game was rained out. Then, no practice until we went to Ames, beat Iowa State, 8 to 7. The next day we had a track meat, losing to Iowa State, 23 to 6. Yesterday, Mr, John Baun Page Two we lost to Missouri, 5 to 0. We played nice ball but had no offense and Missouri had a crack pitcher. ‘he game was played in one hour and thirty five minutes, so you know it was a good ballgame. We're playing Missouri again today and I'm hoping it will not be another track meet. : It will take two or three years to build the way things are, but frankly, John, I do like baseball because it gets me out of the office. But I have talked too long about this sport and now just a word--back to our original premise. Yes, George Nettles told me that he had a swell time with you at the Rose Bowl’ Game. He got a "terrific bang" out of it. Aren't you coming back for Commencement? We heard that you were. I would eertainly enjoy a long visit with you, and I would surely like to see how you have improved with those irons. The Couritry Club course was never in better shape than it is now, and, in addition to my other duties, they have named me chairman of the tournament committee of the Country Club. This June we are having the “ansas Amateur Championship there so it would be good to play a few games with you. In addition to our Missouri game this afternoon, I meet my spring basketball boys for practice at 7:00 o'clock, and we have a Country Club dinner at the same tine, which, of course I will miss. We have matched the two teams, and last Saturday morning, I played Guy Smith and was lucky enough to lick him so I have a free dinner coming tonight out there and just to think having a free dinner and not being able to eat it. I'm only meeting my basketball boys for a spring practice nine nights-three weeks; three nights, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So, 111] have to "stick to my knitting". | Can't you promote the sale of some. of your Government Bonds and bring Bonnie along for the 75th Anniversary Celebration? With lots of luck and best wishes. * an, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and - Recreation Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. FCAsre STANFORD UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA May 12, 1941 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Doc": Thanks for your good letter. I know the fun that one gets out of baseball. I believe I really enjoyed coaching this sport more than any other, and particularly did I enjoy my association with the Junior Twilight League teams. Bonnie and I had originally planned to get back for Commencement. My recent trip, however, was an unexpect- ed one, due to the death of my mother in Tulsa, and now I am afraid that a second trip cannot be financed. I have just recently written to all of my class- mates who are in the Rocky Mountain region and west, in- viting them to join me in Lawrence. I am afraid that my letter is just a little bit hypocritical but maybe some- thing will happen so that I can take a flyer back for Commencement. I would certainly love to do it. I read with a great deal of interest the news item that announced Bobbie's election to Phi beta Kappa. I have been wanting to send him a note of congratulations. Cordially yours, Mre Ase C, Burrows, General Agent, New York Central System, 912 Fairfax Building, Kansas City, Missouri. Dear Mr. Burrows s I have your letter of the 12th instant, and beg to advise that I am not expecting to attend the National Boxing Association meeting at Winston-Salem on Sepgember 8-10.

I do not expect to mention a game to the youmg Sir Galahad of Oklahoma, and _ if he does mention the same to me there will be no retraction from my stend. If the game isn’t worth that much for playing it, it isn't worth it at all, end since all of the initiative wae on his part in the beginning it will be a cold day in his part of the country before another game ig booked. He started the barrage at Meryville through his friends on the newspapers, stating that Kansas was afraid of him, The seme line of argument was used with his friends when he went to de & UM, If he mentions anything about it I will tell him that 1 do not like this back-door psychology that he operates with. I em not arguing with you, Cob, because you and I do not have to do thet, but you state that he played | nat California last yeer and they both carried away a chunk of dough. I don't see how they could heave carried away much if he made the same proposition to them that he is making to me. We don't make any money at all on a $400.00 guarantee. You also mention that he can get five thousand wild-eyed fans out for an exhibition with Central State of Bdmond.

Dear Doctor: It is my understafding that you and Hank Iba will be together in loewa next week and I am certain you will get to work out your game schediles or else decide it is useless to discuss the matter further with him. You may be assured that if this is the procedure, you will never be censored by me for I think he was trying to do a little chiseling. While he is in the wind-blown sand.country, and it is true that Oklahoma is his big game, you are mistaken in the thought that he has few temas in his conference that draw a Bates Tulsa and Creighton draw as well as Kansas and it is surprising the way they fill that barnregularly regardless of the = competition. He can get 5,000 wild-eyed fans out for an exhibi- tion with Central State of "Hdmona , and that is no mistake, He has crammed a snappy little rule down the Missouri “nie boys throat whereby he pays his own expenses to each of the other campuses and he pockets all of the home gate, I think this is rather clever management . In this way he netted $14,000-for A, & M,-‘ast year and this clover money helped carry football which has..been in the same bracket as the old Crimson and Blue of Kansas, a loser onthe field and a sorry gate attraction. He had the idea that he could put you in practically the same basis and I guess he thought it would be all right if you would accept. He played Texas and Southern Cal last year and they ae DES: REBT ORS PRINTING -AND WRAPPING PAPER: 860-880 N.W.SECOND, 0 K LAH OMA ei eee ek ea both were money makers for him and they both carried away a chunk of doughe If he ever gets the proper climax with a series with Kansas, you should make a couple thousand dollars. One thing you will have to admit and that is you will always carry away two or three times as much of his money as he will take from your campus. I am not trying to extend the argument but I think you have him wrong inthis respect. We have had a nice break in the weather and we are just as comfortable here this week as we would be in Colorado.

I failed to do this as I didn't know my sweater size. Now I know my grades were 0. K. and my sweater size is size thirty eight (38).
