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.

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.

_ Dear Andy:
I am glad to receive your letter of the 16th instant, and

am pleased beyond measure that you are viewing your wale
interests from a long range benefit.

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? A young boy always has the athletic
ry over~evaluated, and unless some coach or someone the boy

has confidence in gives him some advice, ‘the we is apt to be

misguided. ' :

If I ean be of any service to ™ and to him in this guidance,
it will be a pleasure.

Dear Coach:

The United States Government has asked the Coaches Associa-~
tion to call off its planned Conference for March, 1945... 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.

Before March 15, you will receive the printed report of a
careful and valuable study in the measurement of physical output
in basketball practice, - ;

If your membership card does not read “For the Duration", then
you owe at least $2.00, Please. send the check payable to the
Association with your reply sheet and get the Duration card.

Several of our members have become authors or co-authors during
the past year. If you know of one, write in about him for the April
bulletin. ;

Chances seem very good that any member from college ranks
(who has business in New York at the time of the tournaments and /”
the Executive meeting) can count on getting tickets for the games,
The committees in charge really want us there. If you plan to be
there, notify Ed Hickox plenty early as to exact dates and as to
your desires.

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.

"With kindest regards to you and to my
many other friends in the Coaches Associa-
DORs 1 ant

Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) Oswald Tower"
In honoring Oswald we certainly honored ourselves.

The committee from the Coaches Association that names the
recipient for 1945 will soon be sending in their votes. rr -you
have suggestions you wish to. send in, add them to the reply sheet
vou find attached,

Our membership shows somewhat over 200 coaches at the same
position as for the.last several years-~160 other coaches either
in service or in changed position and another group of coaches
we've lost track of. These 450 coaches are those who have been
members some time since 1940.

Your Secretury-Treasurer, Howard Hobson, is at present
serving the government. .

This letter and questionnaire are being sent to 206 coaches
who sre now coaching in the same positions as for the last few
years and who have been members for some time. A few are at present
in arrears on membership dues.

Cordially yours,

the University Daily Kansan for January 9th, shoving that my
supposi tions were well founded. |

I told you Bob came in to see me and said that as”
soon as he got his grades up he would report for varsity ball.
But he could still play for the Betas even though his grades
were low. I think you get what I meen. Bob inferred that he
was not playing with the Betas and that he appreciated what I
had done for him.

This is a enall case in point, but it does illustrate
the fact that loyalties sometimes ere lightly held.

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.

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.

I am glad you have Schwanzle sizeé up as you have. I think

he is a swell kid and will respond to your handling mag-
nificently. He is a lad that will need some guidance and

I know you are the type of fellow he will be influenced by greatly.

Pittsburg, Kansas.

Dear George:

You are hevnaiites welcome regarding Bob Simtndie.\
I examined him and believe that we will have opportunity to fix |
him up in good shape. I turned him over to Dean because with my \
job as president of the Country Club plus my other work I am so —
badly overburdened I was afraid I would not have time to meet |
Bob regularly. And ton, I felt that Dean could give him ee.
at definite ee imbervals. He would of course handle that, and
I thought that I would keep a weather eye on Bob to see how he gota

along. :
Prom time to time I will make contacts with him and
be assured that he is coming along in good shape. He seemed \

pretty much pleased with his first examination and treatment. I Je
haven't seen him since, but I will endeavor to contact him, \

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FOA: AH | Varsity Basketball Coach.

Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doc:

May I express to you my thanks and appreciation for help-
ing out Bob Schwanzle. I have been greatly interested in
this young fellow,ever since he was a mere kid, and because
of that interest I was particularly anxious for him to see
you and to receive the good help that you could give him.

I understand that you have turned him over to Dean Nesmith
which I know will work out fine. The Dean has so much of
your technique that he no doubt will get him fixed up in
good time.

This Schwanzle kid is a good boy but does need a lot of good
adult advice from people he admires. If you get the chance
occasionally to talk with him please do so. If he comes out
for basketball, and 1 think he will, you will have a good
chance to get acquainted with him. I know that you can do
him a lot of good.

With kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely,

GEN : OM
