To Men of the Faculty: I am making a call for Volley Ball players at 4:30 Monday and Friday.

These above-named voices crying - in the wilderness state that all faculty men need this hour of relax- ation and fune: Vion't you newcomers and you oldsters who have shirked your physical fitness responsibility see one of the above faculty brothers and enlist? The plea of no equipment is no excuse NOWe Reymond Nichols asks me to tell you that there is athletic equipment for sale at bare government cost. This equipment was purchased for the ASTP. Since the ASTP has been mustered out, this supply of new shoes, shirt, pants and sox will be sold to you absolutely at cost. The prices are as follows: é Shoes 33e00 Sox (white) 18 Pants 1.00 Supporters 042 T Shirts 250 But there is one thing that I must tell you frankly. This is not pre-war material. None of it is tip-top stuff and the price may stagger you, so if you have any old equipment you better dig it out of the attic or the basement. We are handling the distribution of this equipment for Hilden Gibson, so if you will phone me giving the size of your shoes and other equipment we will have it assembled for you and you may call for it at a designated time.

SPORTS NEWS BUREAU KANSAS UNIVERSITY * LAWRENCE, KANSAS Lawrence, Aug. ~-Ten t thousand man-hours of physical education per vex ts is the assignment for the staff of the department of physical education at che University of Kansas with the installation of the V-12 and A-12 army and navy pro- grams, and the task is being accomplished by a staff of nine. men-~an average of about 1100 man-hours per week for each instructor. This information was revealed today from the office of Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, chairman of the department of physical education at K. U., and nationally famous basketball coach of the ge Jayhawkers. ) This physical conditioning job-~mostly for the men in service who are © enrolled in specialized training programs on Mt. Oread but also for the civilian student contingent--is carried on in addition to a regular schedule of basketball { } and football practice sessions, as well as a complete intramurals setup, The /' intramurals program is under the direct supervision of Dr. Allen, assisted by Ray i / Kanehl, former director of physical education in Wichita North High. So great is the physical education schedule that the University adminis-— ( tration has had many headaches finding accomodations for the many classes. All of which scheduling had finally resulted in Robinson gymnasium being assigned chiefly ae to naval students and ene Auditorium to the army hopeful. And there are practi- == cally no hours during the day, including the noon hour, in which classes are not going on in both these buildings. hl | While the naval school for machinists' mates provides officers to con- duct its own physical conditioning program, its swimming program is supervised by Ww the University. As a result, since all army and navy men must take swimming, the ey swimming schedule is full from 7:30 in the morning until 8:00 o'clock in the even- ing every day of the week except Sunday. R. R. Strait, graduate of Ottawa Univer- cal education at Chanute High, is in charge of the swimming program. (t ie New filters have been installed in the pool, the pumping capacity doubled, and additional purification facilities added. Samples of the water are sent several times daily to the headquarters of the Water and Sewage Laboratories on the campus, /j the V-le Ue and the findings sent to army, navy and University health authorities. In addition to the swimming programs of the machinists'mates, and A-le students, the natatorial interests of the naval flight cadets and of civil- c ian students, are taken care of. 3 , Crk alia M Marre (more) In charge of the physical conditioning program for the naval V-le stu- dents is Henry Shenk, who also doubles as head coach of football, assisted by Strait, Kanehl, and Dean Nesmith, instructor in physical education and trainer for the athletic teams. The Army program is directed by Howard Porter, former Kansas City, Kansas, physical instructor; assisted by Vernon Hayes, Jackson Austin, and Elmer Schaake, who also will act as an assistant football coach. Schaake ig a for- mer K. U. football grad. and coach at Bethany College and Liberty Memorial High in Lawrence. Hayes did his undergraduate work at Washburn while Austin, who has been working on his doctorate at K. U. the past year, received his undergraduate and Master's degrees at Emporia Teachers, where he played football under Fran Welch. Three obstacle courses now are existant on the campus as part of the physica] training equipment. One is under the east stadium, used exclusively by the machinists? mates, and two others are on the south slope of Mt. Oread. One of the outdoor courses, just being completed, is practically an exact replica of the one at the Iowa Pre-Flight Training Center at Iowa City. A part of the rigid train- ing program will consist of obstacle races with a careful tabwlation of individual performances with stopwatch timing. The full intramurals program will be arranged as usual, the doctor said, between the hours of 4:30 and 6:00 o'clock in the afternoon. This program does not, of course, include the Sunday recreation programs for civilians, of physical conditioning for for young women under the direction of Miss ste.. Hoover. All young women are required to take physical conditioning during their first year of residence at the University. KWD--dsp 8/6/43 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION | | | 1 doz.

Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach. April 7, 1944. Miss Ruth Hoover, Department of Physical Education, University of Kansas. Dear Miss Hoover: We have received today the consent of Dr. Canuteson for the Quack Club to use the swimming pool, if you so desire. The other groups using the pool, with — the approval of Dr. Canuteson and Pr. Grosz, are the Arny, Navy, and civilian men who are non~swirmers. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, POALAH : Varsity Basketball coach. Pebruary 21, 1944. Hiss Ruth Hoover, Department of Physical Education. - Dear Miss Hoover: Referring to our telephone conversation the other day, I did not want you to feel you had done any wrong in following the schedule and allowing the girls to use the swimming pool. I was thinking more of the plans for next semester. It was not my feeling that you had gone over my head in speaking to Dr. Cenuteson, but it was his thought that we were in agree- ment over here as to the use of the pool by the girls. I am only trying to do what seems most important in the war effort, and feel that the 17-year-old boys, civilians, have a greater need of learning to swim than do the girls at this time. Therefore, if Dr. Camrteson rules that the pool may be used by any civilians for next semester, I am of the opinion that these boys who may be called to service whan they — are 18, should be given instruction. I will be happy to disouss it with you any time at your convenienos. I am sorry that I was out of the office when you game over to talk to mo. Very sincerely yours, Director of Physiaal Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION January 31, 1944 Dr. F.C.

To Members of the Department of Physical Education: There have been so many requests to open the gymmasiun Sunday afternoon that we decided to try it, but it just doesn't work without a responsible watchman. There is always destruction of property without proper supervision, and we do not expest to attempt it again. However, if of the im tructors find it necessary to lom a key to the building to of the officers, you will be respon~ sible to the point that building is locked and no one is ad~ mitted except the service group or individual concerned. The individual in our department who loans his key is sibility for the actions of the people in for the swimming pool or any other part of the building, The Chancellor holds us responsible, and we naturally will hold others responsible to the same degree.in the event any of the officers have keys to the building they will come under the same regulations as members of this department. e Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, POA :AH | Varsity Basketball Coach.
