This will let his friends know where he is and I kmow that he would appree- iate 1% greatly. Mit is very fond of him and says that he will make an outstanding lawyer. Certainly his start confirms this opinion with me. I was in sehool with Barney Sheridan here from 1906 to 1908, and kuow that Barney is the type of fellow that will give the young man every chance.

Ontober 22, 1943. Mr. C. E. McBride, Sports Editor, The Kansas City Star, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Mac; I was interested in your Sports Colum comment regarding the re- actions of the managers of professional teams always being enthusiastic about winning, and the reactions of the vollege coach being rather pessimistia. I believe I have the f ppsogoongane Boog but I believe you will half-way agree with me. The differences in the two reactions are matters of emotional response of the respective followers of the two sports. The baseball pti stabilised individual as far as whooping it up for his home team conoerned. ths Geae Sek tah page Kia peniy’ Ge ees't talent Gale tee he is half critical of his team wntil it wins for him. And then he rather dissipates some of his reticence and allows his enthusiasm to bubble ever at times. The follower of the professional team, or the fan, is not such a possessive soul nor such a rabid one as is the follewer of college teams. But old Joe College goes all old alma mummy has inculcated him wi although he may not exhibit it outwardly it is bubbling in breast. And the fellow who has never been to college takes | thusiasm by proxy on betting on the parlay choices and odds. In ether words, he adopts one of the colleges of America and he is by remote control an alwmus of some winning football tion - he He 78 it i : 7 There is more intimacy fer the fan in college athletics than there is in professional athletics -- you will understand, Mac, when I talk about baseball bein, professional and college athletics being amateur, you know I am kidding. Perhaps professional baseball is more amateur than college football because Judge Landis keeps it so. But I will not go into that. You know more about that than I do, and I know plenty. Yow, back to the college game. The young life of the students each year has a sest and a spontaneity about college athletics that just develops more enthusiasm, which all people like to think of and like to see. It gives any old man a buzz to walk into any high school or college when the classes are changing in the halls. The friendliness =Ze the youth and the air of buoyancy permeates the atmosphere and we all like it. Now, the college coach must be pessimistic because the enthusiasm Sy uatie muda ue a ear Ce cn ae By being pessimistic the Joe College followers will say, Well, he did a fins job. If he held the seore down and if he should win he a not anes. Fhe collage conch Ss euieevering te inp His J In no realm of activity dees euotion play such a high part as it does in athletics. The spectator is not a sane, logical, person. He goes to the contest to give vent to his feelings, to re- create himself and to forget the worries of this and that; therefore, he becomes either a shouting, wild, fanatic, Se who picks one team and follows it and forgets all about the hard grind of the affairs of business or the profession. Again I say that when a man gives vent to his emoti he ceases to think sanely and intelligently. That is why the college coach is pessimistic toe offset the rabidity of the followers and professi onal coach is enthusiastic to build up attendance, which after all pays the : of professional ball. This build up would naturally come from | the elub omer who would reflect a salary increase or decrease accord~— ing to the sucoess of the tean. i ffl Sincerely yours, ae Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. ow September 15, 1943. Mr. C. E, McBride, The Kansas City Star, Kansas city, Moe Dear Mac: | It was very gracious of you indeed to send Jim St. Clair's letter to me. Jim has expressed this opinion to me at times, and of course this is very gratifying to me. I did it to. boost basketball, the N.C.A.A. and maturally to boost Kansas City as the top city in the United States when it comes to appreciative basketball patrons. - Personally, I do believe that bringing this outfit of moneyegrabbers out of the red at that time was a very opportune thing for the N.C.A.A. I believe had it been attempted iri other cities it would not heave much more than paid expenses, and the fact that they were facing a five thousand dollar deficit would have meant the end of basketball tournament competition for then. : The only place they have made money outside of Kansas City has been at Madison when Wisconsin was a contender and played in Wis- consin‘s own field houre. To me this action stinks to high heaven. When any management would play on a contender’s home floor, then it shows to me that the management ilakis balance and certainly a sense of sporting decency to ask other teams to play on the home team's floor, end still call it a championship game. ; I would not expect Jim St. Clair or anyons else to agree _ with everything that I do. I don't agree with everything anyone else does. Jim is a fine fellow. He belongs to the line of athletic politicians. He served as the chairman of the nominating committee for years for the N.C.A.A. basketball committea. In other words, he was L. ¥. St. John's handy-man to nominate the slate that Saint puts up and like all good lieutenants he succeeded to the chairmanship in due time. Personally, I am not the type of fellow that would want to be a lieutenant to St. John for any long era. Anyhow, I don't agree with what Jim did and Jim doesn't agree with what I do, so that is even. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending Jim's letter to me because Jim knows that you and I are good friends. And to say that you are my good friend means that you have taken a lot of beatings in my behalf. But I appreciate a fellow like you who oan do that.

We have a great many new employees and as such they are not completely familiar with many of the details and exceptions to authors on or- ders for their own books.

Concerning the previous charge for five copies of your book ordered on April g£6th, that too was incorrectly LY billed, but in the final analysis the charge should also pO: have been $12.00 plus carriage. Your check for $10.52, therefore, left a balance of $1.38 due us but in view of the circumstances, we are simply cancelling this small balance and the account is now closed.

Se «plein Of en Mateenebte of Unees ol chee 0 enaen of Pioneer Club, so I have a mutual interest in Elmer Schaake. ‘Scheake is assistant varsity football coach and teacher in the physical conditioning course for Army trainees at the University of Kansas. Before that he cosched at Bethany College at Linsburg, Kansas, where he had a remarkably successful experience. He came from there to Lawrence High School where he coached ali sports and made 2 most enviable record. Scheaake has had several championships in his league at Lewrence High School. During his three years of football at the University of Kansas, in 1930 they were Big Six champions; and in 1931, you may recall, they beat Denver University 12 to 7 in a rather uninteresting game in which Kansas showed plenty of power but did not use it in the proper way. Schaske was captain and all Big Six quarterback in 1932. He is married, has « most cultured end lovely wife, and two children. Elmer Schaake is as fine and clean in every way as a man can be. He is not only ea gentleman and fine sportsman, but he has a lot of pep and fire, which should be an attribute of every successful coach. He has the qualifications in every way for coaching a “big-time” football team. He played one year with Potsy Clark's Detroit Lions after finishing his competi- tion at Kansas. He did not care for the professional game, although he was one of the outstanding players in the leame. He merely rlayed to earn enough money to pay his college: debt. I will appreciate any sisiiieabiias you and the other officials at the University of Denver may give this outstanding man. I wish you might | meet him personally. Yours very truly, Alston M.
