1142 Edler Avenue New York, New York June 16, 1938 Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Director Department of Physical Education Universty of Kansas’ - Dear Doctor Allen: I'm writing this by way of an apology for not seeing you again before I left. There were some people you suggested I look up here in New York. I should be glad tc do that Doctor Allen, and if you have a minute to spare you might send me the names of those people. As you probably noticed, the National Education Association is holding a con- vention at the Hotel Commodore on June 27 in New York, and they are having a special program for the department of Health, Fhysical Education, and Recreation. The program is listed in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Physical Education. If I can possibly get in I plan to attend some of these meetings. If there are any suggestions I would like to have you offer them. Give my best wishes to Mrs. Allen, and also remember me to Mrs. Hulteen and Doctor Lapp. Yours, eH Hepes Jim H.

Allen, Hotel Morrison, Chicago, Illinoise Dear Dr. Allen: Your eir mail letter errived yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and I immediately started cutting stencils. I hope the material looks all right to you, and will reach you in time for your meetinge I am sending 25 copiese I gave Mre Dill a copy of the complete set. I believe the computations you mentioned as be- ing incorrect were correct, and if you check again I think you will find them soe Item 16 on the page referring to Four Non- conference and Five Conference games adds as follows: 13525 11.75 2525 And on the Kansas-Nebraske Game Chart Durand's score was 24 Possible Evaluation Points, less 2 for “fumbles, etc.", which gives him 22 Totel Evaluation Points. You will notice that the last colwm on the chart gives the total negative evaluation pointse I am returning Dr. Lapp's sheet of notes for you, al- though you probably will not need thise I am also sending a sheet which Mr. Dill brought to the officee You might wish to use this in making comparisonse Yesterday I took both of your salary checks to Mrse Allen. As yet the Ames check has not been received. I wrote to Mr. Rupe last Wednesday morning, as you suggested. Our radio program last Thursday night, which Mr. Elbel had agreed to give, was cancelled on account of Herbert Hoover's speeche WREN did not ask KFKU to cancel the 9:30 broadcast, but suggested it be postponed witil 10 o'clock, interrupting one of their popular national programse We felt it best to cooperate with KFKU and not use our time last week. I expect Mr. Elbel will be quite willing to take over next Thursday's progrem, since you will not be here. I have checked with Fred Pralle about the Kiwanis luncheon in Kansas City on Thursday, April 7, and he plans to be there. However, there is some uncertainty about using the Forde Mr. Henry has e trip on Wednesday and one on Friday, but if the Ford is available on Thursday I think they will allow Freddie to use it so that you could return with him Thursday afternoon. I will not know about this definitely wtil Monday, and will try to get word to you before you leave Chicagoe wales I em enclosing a copy of your calendar for the next few weekse Mre Cooper, of Lee's Summit, called me by phone inmmed- istely upon receipt of your letter, and said their banquet has been postponed to April 12. You had nothing on your calendar for that day, so I told him I thought he could cowt on you on April 12. We are to write him confirming that when you returne This morning a letter came fram K. G. Lind, of Wittenberg College, saying that by April 5 he will Ikmow the action of the committee on the coaching schoole He also goes into detail about the expense involved. During your absence there have been four inquiries about your summer coaching school. The correspondence has not been heavy, and I've been acknowledging most of the letters, saying that you will write upon your return. The furniture (2 pieces) for Miss Dunkel's office has been orderede Mre Veatch will send us three separate state- ments at intervals, so that we can get the whole order at once without having to wait for bids. I believe I have covered most of the notes I jotted downe It has been rather quiet in the gymnasium the past few days. Hope all your conventions are not too strenuous, and that you will have a little time at least for relaxation. Mrs. Allen called me this morning to ask if I had received any word from you. Sincerely yours, Bie PeSe The postoffice has assured me if I mail the reports parcel post, special delivery, that you will receive the pack- age by Monday. I hope it gets there in time.

The following outline has been compiled for use in Elementary Boxing at the University of Kansas. It is not to be considered as a complete outline of the subject but merely deals with a few principles of boxing. The numerical order listed may be changed to fit the new situations as they arise. You will be expected to Ikmow how to use and demonstrate the following: l. Ze Se De The left jab is a short, snappy thrust of the left arm calculated to jar your opponent. This should be executed quickly; timed to hit the mark and hard enough to jar your opponent. It may be used to aid your attack or prevent your opponent's attempt. Straight right:- slip in with left foot followed immediately by the right foot, allowing the body to fall forward, and at the same time hitting straight with the right hand to your opponent's jaw. Your left hand should be covering your jaw and your left elbow covering waist. The "one-two" is a combination of the left jab and the straight right hand blow. It is executed as follows: jab swiftly with a straight left to your opponent's ebdomen and follow it quickly by shooting the straight right (as in No. 2) to the jaw. This may be reversed i.e. left to jaw and right to abdomen. Keep your chin well protected at all times! Blocking a blow may be done by placing your elbows, forcarm, open hand or shoulder in the way of the blow. Use your clbow when your opponent is hitting around your waistline and midsection, at the same time the hand of the dofonsive arm should be protecting the chin. A blow at the chest may be blocked by the open hand or forcarm. Re- member, a blocked blow doesn't show! Footwork is ono of the important factors in all sports especially boxing. A moving target is hard to got. Your cquilibrium should be maintained at all times so that you may be able te strike a blow should tho oponing present itsclf. A well balanced boxer steps around adroitly; he never jumps into his oppon- ent. Rather, he moves around with agility and case. The left foot is usually the leader with the right foot placed so as to kocp your balance and following as the left foot is moved around. Practice stepping around, maintaining = balance keeping your hands always in position to hit. Tho uppercut is a blow that travels up from about the waist to a point on your opponent above the waist. It may bo oxocuted with cither the left hand or right hand. Tho uppercut is often used whon an opponent is crouched dnd you wish to streighten him up. A right uppercut:-- step in with the loft foot and follow immodiate- ly with the right foot. Shoot tho right hand up from the waist to the unguarded part of your opponent. Note: The palm of the strik- ing hand is turned inward toward you. =~ K o« 10. iy le. 13. 14. 15. ee = POTTS 7 : mi ae SATS TD SMsSeEx ee orto BOXING HINTS Jim Raport Condition is the first rcoquisite for a boxer, business man tcachcr and student. Keep your chin in, resting between left shoulder and brest-- vice versa for loft handod boxer. Hit streight and slightly downward. Fist tightly closed and wrist straight when hitting. Move away from your opponents right hand. (If loft hand boxor, move avay from his left hand, ) Mouth closcod at all times. Be rclaxed, tense on delivering the blow. Never intimate or hint by your actions or behavior what you aro going to do. Don't “tolegraph" a blow. Bo woll belanced on your feet at all times. Romombor footwork is ono of the important factors in boxing. One of the best offensive weapons is the retreat! Uso it occasionally. Always remombor first block your oppononts attack and then countor with your blow. Don't’ lead with your chin or nosce 4 moving targot is hard to hit. Don't stand still. Your foint# your opponents crror= your hit. fry it! Roll away from your opponent's blow.
