March 17, 1945. Dear Mr. Newlin: I feel quite ashamed of myself in not answering your le sooner. The fact of the mtter is that I had your letter on k ing that I would answer it immediately. But actually it got covered up in a mass of correspondence, and just this morning when I was trying to clear my desk I ren across it. I am sorry that basketball season is over and I have not been able to help you. The fact that you are a Kansas boy would oause me to. have activated myself in your behalf had I had one been covered up in war work, in addition to my coac fered with my answering your good letter. i? you are still interested in basketball I would suggest that you go to any high school library arownd Newport, R. I., and I am sure that you will find either "My Basketball Bible", or a book that I wrote later, “Better Basketball”. It is pretty difficult for me to write something out that would be helpful to you because there are so many angles to this indoor | sport. ef B : E Dr. Naismith, the originator of the game of basketball, once said, "Basketball is a game easy to play but diffialt to master." If there are any specific questions that you want to ask me © if you will write them out I will be very happy to answer them for you. Agein regretting that I failed to five you the service that you desired, I am Very sinodrely yours, ANTI - AIRCRAFT TRAINING CENTER PRICE’S NECK, NEWPORT, R. I. 31 January 1945 Dear Mr. Allen I am writing to you in hopes of obtaining some modern methods in the training of young basket-ball players. I am basket-ball ceach at this station and it has been some time since I was active in the sporte I have a fine group of men here who are particularly interested in basket-ball, a few of them have played a little college ball but mostly my squad is made up of high school players. The league is made up of service teams and we have more than an even chance to make a fine showing providing I can supply them with the necessary plays and a well rounded conditioning program, I know that you are more than busy and I hesitated to call upon you for help but being a Sarees boy and receiving my education in that State, I decided that I should write to you and ask for this favor. If you have the time to help us I'm sure the boys at this station will be more than grateful. Sincerely yours. Org On Rte Maurice M. Newlin Sp(A)lc, U.S.N. A.A.T.C. Prices Neck, Rhode Isl.

What does the young mn desire to study? Why don't you have @ conference with him, and as he expresses his ideas as to his future course after the war, endeavor to guide and direct him in his course?

This is because the attendance last year was above the fifty member limit now allowed, We are, however, allowed such a conference as we had in March, 1943, when the Executive Committee met and invited in for one session all those Association members who were already in New York attending the Basketball tournaments. Following this enlarged meeting, the Committee went into executive session for the comple- tion of the necessary business and for formal vote on recommenda- tions to, the National. Rules group. The National Invitation tournament together with NCAA Easterns and NCAA finals will be held in New York on March 17=27 approxi- mately. yee In September, we sent out 450 return postal cards to colleges and universities asking the whereabouts of the pre-war coach, the name of the present coach and whether the team would be made up of Civilian or service students or both. 89% of those replying said there would be @ team. Of those schools not planning a team, 25% later decided to have teams--you can't keep a good game down! The Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball committee of NYC has made a gift of $500 to the National Coaches Association. Ned irish has matched this with another $500.to the Association from the Garden Corporation. There are no strings to these gifts but the suggestion was made that we revive some medium of information such as the bulletin or a news letter for the Association. These financial aids to the Association treasury are particularly impor- tant at this time when our income from membership dues is prac- tically nil... Our heartiest. thanks to these donors and our assur- ances that the money will be used in ways worthwhile to the game of basketball. Shortly, you will receive the report of the 1944 meetings.

Another announcement will reach you before tournament time. telling you what the Executive Committee plans on the basis of your replies to the questions on the return sheet. Several of our members who were in service have been dis- charged. Several others have recently been taken into service. Oswald Tower has written to us the following letter: "May I convey through you to the National Associstion of College Basketball Coaches my deep appreciation of the honor they conferred | upon me through the award of the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Committee's basket- ball trophy. That the Coaches Association, composed as it is of the leaders in the field of basketball, should consider me entitled to this significant award is the source of greater pleasure than the receipt of the beautiful trophy itself. "The cooperation and support which the Coaches Association has given to the National Basketball Committee are factors of great im- portance in bringing the game to its present high state of popularity and success. Your organization has studied the rules unselfishly and with a view to what is best for the game's development. The result has been Some very constructive changes in the rules as well as the suppression of many suggestions which your study has shown to be undesirable. —3- "T trust that the National Basketball Committee will continue to merit and to receive your cooperation and valued aid in promoting the welfare of basketball.

Dear Doc: It would warm the cockles of your heart, if a heart has a cockle, to visualize the extreme pleasure this youngster of mine had when he found the basketball in his sock on Christmas morning. The fact that it had been used only enhanced its value. I told him your team had used it in several games last year, which added much to its intrinsic worth. If he isn't a hot-shot by the time he is ready to go to college, I'll miss my guess, because he certainly has a good eye. George Mackie installed a regulation goal over at the side of his home and there the kids shoot at every opportunity. It was darned nice of you to go to the trouble of arranging for George to get it and bring it home and I appreciate it very much. I had quite a talk with George about Schwanzle and he verified the report that Schwanzle was flunking in Physics. However, when I told him I would bet him that he would wind up on the Beta intramurals team he didn't seem to disagree very heartily. I told him very specifically to tell Bob to go over and talk to you at the first opportunity and discuss the thing with you so there would be no misunderstanding either way. I told him I thought there wasn't much gratitude in that kind of business unless he actually is in trouble scholastically. Maybe by now he has been around to see you - I hope so. I observe Oklahoma met its waterloo at Kansas State which, no doubt, surprised you. At least, it did me and Curt - Curt said it couldn't be so. I suppose everyone will be off very substantially this season, but I suspect you will be in there pitching with whatever you have got a and will no doubt fare better than the second division. Please give my regards to Mrs. Allen and my best to you. Sincerely, UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THE GRADUATE SCHOOL LAWRENCE December 20, 1944 Dr. F. C.

Dear Doc: Incidentally, wasn't the spectacle at the Ruppert Stadium a terrible exhibition? If I had a football team, the members of which nullified every good effort that was made, I would get me a small ball bat, not too well padded, and swing it generously and rather indiscriminately. If there is anything that makes me mad in a football game is to see an infraction of the rules penalize a team at a crucial moment - I was thoroughly disgusted.
