Dr. Forrest C. Allen pogo 2. April 5, 1940

In the first half, of the nine fouls committed by Kansas, four were .
committed in the Kansas half of the floor, and using the same line of
reasoning, would indicate that they were offensive fouls rather than
defensive,

In all, my chart indicates thet Kansas played mich more aggressive
basketball in the first half than in the second, while Indiana's
aggressiveness began about the middle of the first half and extended
throughout the remainder of the game, becoming intensified defensively
in the second half,

I am afraid thet is about all the information I can give you, excepting
that three of the Kansas fouls committed in the entire game were
committed in locations that had nothing whatever to do with the scoring
of points. In other words, they were committed on Indiana men who were
not in a position to score.

On the other hand, Indiana committed nine fouls during the entire game
upon Kansas players not in a position to score. This, I believe, indi-
cates just about the ratio of aggressiveness of the two teams over the
entire game, > wt 3

So far as I am concerned, the game was a tremendously interesting one to
me and, without passing any bouquets out at all, I would say that I
considered your team the better coached, but considered that the Indiana
boys were more mature and possessed of considerably more natvral ability
including speed. This is a pretty rough analysis, but please understand
that first of all, I was watching the game for the pleasure I was getting
out of it and not in any sense of the word as a scout representing a team
which had to play either of the teams in action,

There was one thing I completely missed@ and which I tried my best to
catch. Possibly you can help me out on this. You will remember, Indiana
made several baskets by a man suddently appearing invariably from the
side of the court, running parallel to the end line, entirely uncovered
by one of your players, getting the ball on direct pass for a lay-up shot.
I think they did this once in the first half and either three or four
times in the second half, For the life of me, I couldn't see that there
was any blocking of your player. However, the play must have been a set
play, and if you can diagram it for me, I would appreciate getting it,
because if there was blocking (and there no doubt was), it must have
occurred et a considerable distance from the basket and under such
conditions that it certainly wasn't noticeable to me.

Trusting this information which, as I -have indicated, was secured for my
own amusement and, therefore, is possibly not as accurate or methodically
kept as though it had been for scouting purposes, may be of some use to
you, I am

Sincerely yours
