DON MACLAY, SUPERINTENDENT DEAN D. NYWALL, PRINCIPAL NELIGH, NEBRASKA January 7, 1940. Dr. Fe C. Allen, University of Kansas, Dear Dr. Allen: I attended the Kansas Coaches Clinie at Topeka this year. (I‘M that big blonde that asked how to guard a hot left handed shot when said left hander is playing right forward.) Your suggestion that we use lambs wool as a base for pro- tecting a "bad knee" was appreciated. I meant to speak to you and get the details of the technique but didn't. Would you please explain just how you cut the matérial and then the proper method of taping? Did I umderstand you right in that the taping is the same as at any other time except the entire job is done on the hide of the animal instead of the boy? This big six-foot-two-inch rebound artist of ours is a boy built just about the same as Ralph Miller so the measurements should be approximately the same. On return to Neligh I told my superintendent, Don Maclay of Nebraska, about attending your basketball demonstration. Don told me that he learned his basketball from Black, one of your boys. Don, as you may perhaps recall was Big Six center in 1931. I had a few words with Don Ebling after that Baker game. _ Don was a student in Lindsborg High while I was practice teaching. I am enclosing a stamped envelope and will appreciate any suggestions you might give. Yours for better basketball, sail Kansas . January 26, 1940.

Last night in Mack's column I observed a nice send-off for the kid, which I know will meke him feel good in spite of his modesty. Since I had no reply to my recent letter I don't know what you thought or what has developed. I took it that maybe someone was trying to get critical with your program and that you were endeavoring to keep me posted ond evelopmentse If you will be so kind % wish you would ask Earl to mail me three tickets for the KU-MU game whenever it is to be pleyede This will save me writing Earl a letter meking this request. I expect to bring Georgie and pick up Ame and go to the ballgame if it is at all possible.
