DEPOT WILMINGTON PHONE 14 WILMINGTON JERRY JARRETT MANAGER Cad -Lo. California Wilmington Wilmington, February 23,1940. Mr.Paul Brindel, American Sales Agent, Peter Anderson, Limited, Galashiels, Scotland. Dear Sir: Last October, 18 months after answering your advertisement in the Los Angeles Times, Mrs.Jarrett and I got around to buying 3 yards of tweed for a suit and hat for her, and 13 yards of worsted flannel to make me a shirt. When I got through with the making, that shirt had cost me $12.50---- $7.50 just for material. Frankly, I felt that we had paid entirely too much, Then, Mrs.Jarrett saw a magazine advertise-~ ment of a firm in a nearby State offering "all wool materials" for shirts. She answered, and received some samples which in no way compared with yours. Yet the price was $7 a yard compared with the $5 per yard we paid you. Naturally, I felt a lot better. But it wasn't until I wore my shirt back to Detroit to drive out some new cabs, that I appreciated what a real bargain my $12.50 shirt is. Warm? It was warmer than most coats, And it cleans beautifully, in fact it can be washed, That's why I bought enough tweed from you last month for a suit.

That's a lot of money, but I'm afraid Uncle Sem will get about one-half of it; for a very good cause, however. i Bert DeGroot left for Sierra Madre, California, to be Civilian Director of Physical Education in the Flying Field. He is on a Civil Service appointwent and his salry is thirty eight hundred ‘dollars a year. He was getting twenty four hundred here. Jim Raport went to Alabama Polytechnic at Auburn. And, Gordon Gray who was taking graduate work and our freshman basketball coach, went to Curtis Pield-- Civil Service job at twenty six hundred dollars. We previously had hired Uenry Shenk who is doing gud job at Junction City. I received a letter from Doctor Samel F. waking inquiry for the position here but our budget committee was lopped off twenty percent for next year, anticipating twenty percent drop in student, enrollment. So, since we had hired. Mir. Shenk and our out being mandatory, precluded the possibility of our engaging Boctor’ Harby. I would like very much to have him with us. I'm wondering if you, confiden- tially, could tell me about what we could have hired him, had we the money. I would like to mow. Our — seale is very .low and I regret that such is the case. We have a young man doing graduate work named John Gress who is the finest gymmast I have seen in many months. By the way, he just merried Dorothy Gerhart who graduated here this June. She was a Fine Arts student, but much interested in Physical Education. Cress belonged to the National Championship Gymnastic Team in the University of Illinois. ‘e was on the team that won the championship three years in succession.| He has done much vaudeville work and is the best thét . have ever seen. The army may get him soon but he's ea dendy. . Thank you for your interest concerning ovr Department and I will thank you if you will always pass along the friendly tips for that helps immensely. I'm happy that you're looking forward te N.Y.U. games with much enthusiasm and expectation. That .A. Degree will not only ‘help your morale but help that pocket book. Lots of good luck to you Miss Ruth Baker _ page two and if ah any time I can be of any service to you in your Physical Education work, it will be @ pleasure, I assure you. I was interested in your telling me of the emphasis on coaching rather than on Physical Education because your difficulty was in your men's department. I will not expect you to write, but sometime I would enjoy a conference with you in explaining the situation there. I imagine a great many highschools have this difficulty. We're happily located here in that our Physical Education people are separated from our Athletie people. 4nd, I'm frank to say I believe we're doing quite a good job with our Physical Education majors. | | We had a great 75th Anniversary and Commencement.

June 16th, 1941 Carpenter Paper Company Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Cob: I'm sending you a copy of the | oe from Toa ¢ on the llth of June and a copy of my reply to him. There absolutely will be no backing up on this stand. Our Athletic Board feels that they are entitled to one-half of the student tickets which are coumted in at face value of twenty cents and we merely get ten cents from each ghudent in this case. Frankly, it lodks to mo as though Senk doesn't have a very good team coming up and he's trying to find a way to gtep out, but, if he steps out on the whaling of Sus Ham, his Oklahoma contingent will not be sufficient to put this game back om the calendar. flank - cannot say we're scared cof him. On the other hand, I will give pub- lisity material to our correspondent and show the public that instead of I being the one that is scared, it is he. I hardly think it is cricket on Henry's part since hos 0 ig wieiiomied. Suse ona I had a Sophomore team and we opened @ two game series and I played him but ome game at Lawrence. When Oklahoma A. & M. and Kansas have met on a neutral court we have whipped im both times. Yet the series stands even up because he has played us down there more times than we have played at Lawrence. So, I'll let the record stand as it is if he wants it that way. In the Conference he is in, he hes no school in the Missouri Velley that draws crowds and only the University of Okla- home packs them in. If we do not pley down there, he will lose more from our not playing the game tham he would lese from paying us this extra stipulation, es he calls it. Year in and veer out, he will not get e team thet will draw as well as will Kanses., “hat's why I make this point that he will lose more than he will gain. And, we can schedule games that will pay us as much as he pays us. His entire payment this year was less than nine hundred dollars and we got over a thousand from Nebraska. And we have gotten more then a thousand dollars many times from Oklahoma and Missouri. Hank is failing to take into account that we make one-half of the attraction and therefore are entitled to onehalf of the money. Not the one-half which is all cash, but one-half of the student Mr. G..0.

So fer as I'm concerned, . it will be o cold day in August before we'll work into another agreement with Tank. So far as our reputation was concerned, when we first acheduled those games down there, we had everything to lose, end not much to caine That was the way I looked at it then, and it's the way I look et it now. I did it to show those Oklahome yelpers that we could take it. But, I do not feel Hank is playing cricket in this cases With all good wishes, 1 am, Sincerely yours, ? Director of Physical Bducation and Recreation-Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. June 17th, 1941 Mr. John W. Bunn Stanford University Stanford, California Dear John: It was very nice of you to write me as you did dune Sth giving me the nemes of Bert Pike end Clyde Voorhees as well as Joe Lantegne. We have engaged 4enry Shenk of Junction City who obtained his KD. in Wisconsin University last year. We had paenned that Shenk would take the plece of James Raport, who resigned to go to Alabama Polytechnic. Then, Bert DeGroot - reeigued with a cut in our budget allowance next year of twenty percent and that put us in the position of —— Shenk into DeGroot's place. Now I believe the only course that is open for us to fill the smaller saleried job is to get two part-time men working on advanced degrees on the scholarship basis. I do not believe that we cnn get a high grade man for the eighteen hundred dollars that's allotted to us for this position. With the demand for Physical Eéucation majors rising, the price for their sursices will be coming up instead of going down. If we should be fortunate enough to reise the anti, I certainly will communicate with these men. I heve had a letter from Clyde Voorhees and I'm foreed to tell him we haven't enough money to interest him I fear. ) : Agein thanking you and wishing to be remembered to the Bunn family, I am, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and — Recreation-Varsity Basketball and : Baseball Coach. . {See Soa STANFORD UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA June 5, 1941 Dr. FY. Cs Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Bert DeGroot came through here last Saturday on his way to his new duties at Riverside, California. I was sorry to learn that he had severed his relations at Kansas, but I appreciate the fact that the present emergency is upsetting all of our staffs so that we are having to hobble along under about three-fourths speed. I am wondering if you are planning to replace Bert for next year and if so whether or not you would be interested in another of our Stanford men. The names of three of our boys come to mind in case you are interested. Bert Pike has been taking graduate work here with us for two years. He will secure his master's degree at the end of this summer quarter. Bert received his A.B. from Dartmouth where he was a member of the Dartmouth football team at guard. He is a boy 25 or 26 years of age. During this past season he has had charge of our Intramural program and has done a most excellent job. I have found him to be a very mature, serious-minded boy, and I believe he has the possibilities of fitting into your program. He p has demonstrated his leadership and organization ability with us and I regard him as an independent thinker. He has had no teaching experience as he is just now finishing his master's work. Clyde Voorhees received his credential from us last year. He is now out in tne teaching field in a high school position. His scholarship record with us is a most enviable one. His undergraduate training was at San Jose under Dud DeGroot. He majored in physical education. I am not as well acquainted with him as I am with Pike, largely because of the fact that I had Pike in a number of my classes and was not in any way connected with Voorhees. He has, however, very good recommendations. The third boy is Joe Lantagne. Joe took his _ master's degree here and did his thesis work under me. He carried out a very excellent job of statistically comparing © the CIF method of homogeneous grouping for competition with the Roger's Strength Index. In addition I have had Joe in a number of my other classes. He is now an assistant in hygiene at San Francisco Junior College, and it is my , understanding that he has the opportunity to continue there next year. Joe is the "diamond in the rough" type of fello He is not the most polished individual either in bearing or speech, but he is a conscientious, hard-working, likeable chap. He has a thorough training in both physical educatio. and hygiene. As a matter of fact he taught one of our hygiene classes here at Stanford while he was in training. If any of these three names appeal to you as possibilities for the job at Kansas, I would be glad to have our Appointment Service send you their credentials. I had a nice note from Bobbie the other day, which I appreciated very much. Cordially yours, Lg s John W. Bunn, Dean of Men. men June 17th, 1941 My, 4. B. Blair 416 South Market Caldwell, Sa Dear Ur.
