ISSOUBI is preparing a “warm” reception for Phog Allen
and his K. U. basketbaliers Thursday night in Columbia.
Tie down the chairs, boys; that game will make Hellzapoppin
resemble a Sunday school picnic....At the December Big
Six meeting here, one of the head grid mentors promised a local
reporter a “hot” story in “about two weeks.” The question before
the house is: Why haven’t the promised paragraphs popped?....
Henry Rohn, who'll be a familiar figure in Nebraska’s backfield next
fall, recently took unto himself a wife....Oklahoma’s Coach Bruce
Drake says the team winning eight games will win the Big Six court
title. Last year he called it seven and seven it was....In, answering
Dr. Eddie Andersor’s “I don’t believe there is a college team in the
country that can beat Minnesota on the ground,’ Walt Dobbins, in
the Nebraska State Journal, prints a play-by-play account of ‘Ne-
braska U.’s 60-yard touchdown march by land which beat the Gophers
6 to 0 last fall... A thousand copies of Fred Waring’s new U. of
Oklahoma song, “O. K. Oklahoma,” have been distributed on .the
Sooner campus by a cigarette company....That “short” K. U. bas-
ketball team averages over 6 feet and is taller than some of the
clubs Allen has piloted to Big Six crowns....Dougal Russell, the for-
mer K-State-star halfback, has a good chance to succeed “Snorter” *
‘Luster as backfield coach at Oklahoma. He'll have tough competi-
tion from at least three Sooner high school coaches, however....The
brightest light in the Iowa State line-up is Carol Schneider, sopho-
more center, who scrapes the ceiling at 6 feet 6 inches....The price
tag on Oklahoma's grid-season tickets is $9 and more than 2,000
have been sold to date....Quoting Maj. Bob Neyland of Tennessee
on this subsidizing business in coilege-athletics: “We (the Southeastern
conference) give the athlete his board, room and tuition and let
him decide what school he wants to attend. We do openly what the
Big Ten, the Ivy league and other conferences condone put won’t
admit, We have nothing to be ashamed of”....The Norman Cham-
ber of Commerce is expecting 500 guests at its appreciation party
for the QO. U. grid team Friday.. . Dean Naismith, the KU. traimer,
makes ore noise than the Jayhawk student. body during _ a. basket-
: ball ll game and | sends s tons of advice to Allen’s | perspiring lads.

Dear Phog:

Glad to get your letter of the 3rd and will do my best

to correct the wrong impressions concerning Miller and
Reid which you mentioned. I had no idea anyone woud
connect Miller with the knee incident due to his inspired
play but them newspaper readers’ mind is sometimes
unpredictable.

I understood that Reid left K.U. because of the lack of
money but having no substantial basis for the report I
couldn't print it.

T'm sorry there was so much fuss about that crack I made
about Nesmith. I'm.enclosing my column containing the line
and I shall appreciate your telling him that it I meant no
ebitisism. It was merely a game note and I thought perhaps
Dean would like seeing his name in the paper.

Itm sure that you don't need a trainer to convey instructions
to your team and that you would be the last to resort to such
tactics. There was no thoueht of a rule infraction when I wrote
the line and I'm sincerely sorry if it eaused you or Dean any
undue worry or trouble.

I'm doing my best to keep humor in my writing because I think
many writers and sportsemen,including coaches and players,

peeome stale when they take the game,whatever it may be,too
seriously. Life is much too short to worrv and fret about some
small incident which will soon be forgotten. Right know I'm
worrying about the football situation at Kansas state. Williamson,
in my opinon is being rea&lroaded out of the picture because
certain members of the council haven't the guts to stand by him.

But life is like that and we have to make the best of it.

I enjoyed your letter,Phog, and am looking forward to hearing from
you again. I shall appreciate any suggestions you might have at

any time and you can rest assured they will be taken in the right

manner, Verv truly yours, | ae ——

Dear “Wr. Potter;

Mr. E.A.Thomas, of Topeka, Kansas,
recommended you to me for information that I may
need e

I am going to the University of
Kansas this year for my Masters' Degree in Physical
Education and for my Thesis I have chosen the
actual time a high school basket ball player moves,
greater than a walk during a conteste

I would like to compare the result
against time playe®smoved before the center jump
was eliminatede Now- do you have any informa-
tion on hand that i could use or direct me where
I may find it? I have the small report made by
Dr. James Naismith in the Rule Book of 1925-1926,
but need more information than that.

I hope to get at least 200 cases for
my study under the present rule. ‘With the few cases
I have already studied, I have received some interest-
ing information which may change some people's view
point,that is those who are criticizing the present
rule of no center jumpe

If interest, 1 will be glad to give
you the final report of my study.

Yours very truly,

Dear Doc:

Thanks a lot for your letter of
September 14th. I was terribly sorry to miss
you the other day, but your office was full when
I was there in the morning and I missed you in
the afternoon.

I did want to tell you how much
I appreciated your efforts in my Mother's behalf
towards obtaining for her the House Mother job
at the Sig Ep House at Lawrence for this coming
year. I certainly think it was fine of you to
write the letter for her and she has asked me
repeatedly to tell you how much she appreciated

es

I expect to bring my family up
Sunday for a short time to see her, and I will
be glad to call you at home then, as I would
like to talk to you for a few minutes. Things
are going o.k. here and it looks like a very
busy fall. I think that forty two you shot on
the golf course the other day was o.k. and I'11
have to have strokes when we go out to play our
game. Thanks again for your fine letter and will
call you Sunday.

Dear iir. Pattersons

may Thank you for your kind letter of the
Zend instante

We think the bleck and white maricings
on the basketball court make a womlerful improvencnt,
especially for a floor thet is dark. The broken lines
enphasize the court mridngs, thus aiding spectators,
officials and players to a great degrees

The court may be marked at a very
minimal cost, and wo believe in its benefits very
strongly. The black line is broken every six inches.
with a two inch white square on the center
the free throw lines and the boumdary lines. This white
line is painted on with white show card color nixed with
LePage's glue, and woars very well for the entire seasons
It my be washed off with wam wter.

Coach As Je MeDoreld, of Southwest iiissouri
Teachers College, Springfield, Missouri, is putting the
‘black and white broken line on their new basketball floor.
We used it here all last year and imtend to use it againe
