October ii, 1941. Dear Bob: I read your letters with great appreciation and under- standing. I know what it is to be away from home, and when you have had so many pleasant commections and also when you have had your girl conveniently close for so many years, I know how lonesome you must be at times. But of course you are grown up - you are @ man and you have an adult's philosophy, I am sure. There are just seme things that we can't have when we ere working for bigger things. It is only just a delayed victory, so to speak. You are now putting in your time on the most important thing in all your life, and I know that you will reap the benefit from your hours of diligent study and concentration that you are now indulging ine Mother feels every inconvenience that you have a thous- and times more than you feel it. She is so hopeful for you and her fears are unbounded when she worries for fear that something evil may come upon you. Make your letters as optimistic as you cam. I think you have great fortitude and great courage, end although things appear rather glum at times to you, just remember the untold benefits that accrue to you by being fine, cleam and resourceful. ‘Someone said not long ego thet after this war is over if you are to have any pleasure it must come from your head or your heart and not from any extraneous Sources You know my temperament, Bob. I never worry about the youngsters, feeling that they are self-sufficient and thak when they do make a mistake that mistake will be for their own benefit. They will profit as all people profit by their mistakes if they are intelli gent people.

So I want you to have a fine, heels beneficial ex- perience at Pennsylvania. I thought you spoke very wisely when you said that you wanted to attend an opera, and I have it in mind that I want you to see at some time vefore you graduate a world's champion- ship prize fight. It isn't worth much only just the psperience of seeing groups together. Isn't that an antithesis ~ a grand opera and a prize fight? But again it is that measure and proportion. But I must stop and drop a note to Eleanor. With much love and anticipation of your fine future success, I am / Affectionately, Your dad September 24, 1941. Mr. Robert EB. Allen, Room 44, Morris Hall, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Bob: I am sending you the four tickets for the Kansas- Temple game. I am also sending you an itinerary of the trip so that you and Eleanor may see the boys if you desire either before or after the pane. The boys are getting out at one o'clock in the morning for Columbus and they will see the Ohio State- Missouri game on Saturday. . Mother and I got your letter and enjoyed it very much. I will write you a longer letter at a later date, put Mra. Hulteen is ready to go home and we want to get this out to you so that there will be no question about you and Eleanor and your friends enjoying the game.

Dear Tuck: ae When this lotter arrives you will be twenty years ot age tnd leach to eugnindias ie a ae en, levely years. This morning at the breakfast table Mother remarked that it was just twenty years ago today - it was on a Saturday - that she felt the first pains, end she wondered if she could stand the ordeal because she was so tired. She had five children and the sixth one was per- haps more than she thought she could bear. I remember the Saturday, and it was on the Saturday that we played Drake University at Haskell. The stadium was being built here and the football field had not been sodded sc we played the first game with Drake, ard Drake best us. Fotsy Clark was the coach. I remember o hepy I felt at your arrival, and how depressed I was that we had lost the football game, but the joy far outweighed the ace aeons of the game because Mother and you were well. And it is a wonderful experience for a parent to real~ ize that @ new spirit has come into the world. Of course all the hopes and ambitions of the parent are for the happiness and success of the child. For that reason I want to congratulate you for the way you have lived, because after all, it is your life that you are living. You are not living it for someone else. You are living it for yourself, but if you live it properly you make everybody proud of you. And you live life in the happiest, most buoyant and radiant way. Don't do things just to please other people.

From - Dr. Forrest C, Allen q<«<<8« Closely associated with Dr. James Naismith during his many years at the University of Kansas, I have hanging in my office an autographed picture of Dr. Naismith on which he has written, "With kindest regards to the father of basketball coaching from the father of the game." In 1908 Dr. Naismith received a letter from Joe Bristow, of Baker University at Baldwin, saying that they needed someone to coach their basketball team. I asked Dr. Naismith to let me try it, and he said, "Why, you bloody beggar, you don't coach basketball, you play it! But go shead and try it, anyhow." So in addition to my duties at the University of Kensas, I coached the Baker University. Member of the Kensas varsity basketball team (center and forward, and captain in 1907), and played second base on varsity baseball team. My two sons, Milton and Robert, have played on my teams. Milton played on the Kansas varsity in 1934, 'S5, and '36. (The 1936 team was ever-victorious). Milton is now a senior in the Law School at Kansas, and president of his class. Bobby Allen played on the Kensas varsity in 1939, '40, and ‘41. He was tri-captain of the team in 1941, and in 1940 the team went to the western semi-finals in the N.C.A.A. tournament. He is now in Medical School at the University of Permsylvania, and president of his freshman medical class. ila AN Ei Riis ett Sutin meer rina eso Bate nncitrmd Ak 4 ‘ PR eae a sebbbi Las he March 25, 1942.

That’s what the game in Hoch auditorium tonight will mean for Coaches Forrest C. “Phog” Allen of Kansas: and Henry Payne Iba of Oklahoma A. and M. Not only will be game be a clash ‘between two great teams but it will be a meeting of the two greatest ‘coaches in American coltege basket- ball circles, deans of their profession. This season marks Iba’s fifteenth year as a basketball coach. His all- time record is astounding, his teams having 381 games, lost only 70, for a life-time. coaching percentage of 8162. ‘Allen Could Surpass Iba Coach Allen need take nary a back- ward step when considering this rec- ? ord for he has been in the coaching business for 32 years, himself, and has to show, for his efforts an all- time percentage of .8154, having won 548 games and lost only 124. Both of these records include games played this season. At. the start-of tonight’s game, Iba will have a better percentage of victories by -,0008 of one per cent. Allen, how- ‘ever, will take the upper hand if the UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS * ee OR: F C1 ALLEN Jayhawkers win tonight. In that case, his percentage would then read 8157 compared with Iba’s $141. This would turn the: tables’ and; -give Al- len an advantage of 0016 of a per cent. 3 g x The possibility always though, when Iba-coached teams are playing that his team will emerge victorious and if this should happen tonight then Iba will increase his percentage lead to .0025 of a per cent, 8167 to .8142. Eighth Year At A. & M. Henry Iba, who is now 38 years| old, attended high school at Easton, Mo., and later enrolled at Westmin- ster College, Fulton, Mo. He at- ‘| tended that school for three and one- half years, receiving his degree at Northwest Missouri Teachers Col- lege at Maryville in the summer of |, 1928. Leaving Westminster in the fall of 1927, Iba began his.career as a coach at Classen High School, Ok-. lahoma City.. He spent two years at Classen, four years at Northwest Missouri Teachers’ College, and one year at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colo., before going to A. and M. in the summer of 1934. This winter he began his eighth season as head basketball coach of the Okla- homa Aggies. His teams have won ten confer- lence or state. championships out of the fourteen years he has coached. He has had two undefeated regular seejions, 31 games for 1929-30 at Northwest Missouri Teacher’s Col- exists,s kK ok ok HENRY IBA lege, and 24 games for 1931-32 at the same school. His greatest winning streak was 42 straight games from the start of the season of 1929-30 un- til the middle of the season, 1930-31. He gave Oklahoma A. & M. its greatest winning streak in history during the 1939-40 season when the Oklahoma Aggies ‘won 25 consecu- tive games. PAGE FIVE Re On the other hand, twenty-four of the past thirty-one coaching seasons, Doctor F. C. Allen has had champ- ionship teams. His Jayhawk quin-/ tets have won or tied for the Big Six. title nine times in the last eleven years. Only once in his thirty-two years as a coach has Allen had a team which lost more games than it won.

Dr. Allen is now coaching his twenty-fifth K.U. team. Not only the game score is im- portant tonight, but the resuits of this coaching clash will be of great interest to every backer of these em-~ inent coaches.

In spite of the fact that your balance can run into the hundreds of dollars no credit is given fer that fact. ; I never have liked this and I never will.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY DREXEL BOULEVARD AT FORTY-SECOND PLACE CHICAGO, ILL. Saturday, December sixth, Nineteen forty-one. Dear Phog:= I had good intemtions prior to your birthday to send you a letter of congratulation, but like a lot of those things, they are used to pave the lower regions. However, I shall extend them now, even though they are somewhat belated. Doctor Needles showed me your letters to him and thru Hubert in the matter of the scope and Doc was genuinely sorry that he was unable to be of any help to you on account of the shortage of instruments which they are all facing. He wants a number for his college and up to this time he is unable to procure thom. I am enclosing a clipping from the Herald4aAmerican Which you may not have seen. Also one from Arch Ward's column which seems to me to be the very thing you have been preaching for some time. I hear that Dutch is expecting to have a good team this year, built around Otto Graham, who must be pretty good. 18d like to hear what your prospects for this season are. While I am on the subject of basketball, will you do me a favor. John Emerson Roberts, who is Tom's son and a student of Oak Park high is a great devotee of yours and according to his father is going to develop into a first class player. I would like it very much if you would send him an autographed copy to him at his home which is 421 North Grove, Ave., Oak Park, Ills. I expect to see you when you bring your team to Chicago in January and I will pay for the book then. It would tickle the pants off of both Johnny and his dad. I have been back at my auditing job since October after having spent six months in the territory for Doc in behalf of the College, trying to dig up new students for him. I was fairly successful. I am sure Bob is doing fine at Penn but I would like to know about him. Hub is very happy at Alton and I think he has a splendid outlook there. He has a contract with the Clinic for three years at an average net in- come of a little better than $ 6000.00 a year and is then taken in as a full partner. Each of the five partners have had an income of better than twenty thousand a year for over five years, 80 you can see why I think he has a great prospect. Billi is well and happy and is the head of the Place- ment Bureau for the College. Claire's broken leg is well healed and they are very happy. This is a much longer letter than I intended to write, so I will close with my best to you and your family. Affectionately, ff “ December 11, 1941. : Mire Gene Me Leahy, Menager, Lusk Crude 011 Coe, Lusk, Wyominge — Dear Mr e Leahy: - | I acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 4th instant, and I am happy that you were able to see the great football game between the University of Southern California and Notre Dame. When I received your first letter I interpreted it as written by the proprietor of a tavern or a pool hall, end I answered it in the same vein. Since I find that you ere a graduate of Creighton University and pleyed football coger! Tommy Millis I am revising entirely my estimate of youe In fact, I stopped in Omahe and went out and hed a long visit with Tommy when he was coach at Creighton. I refereed some of the games that Creighton played under Tommy Mills and perbhance I might heave worked a game while you were — Playing. I was very fond of Tommy Mills and I thought he was a fine gentleman and a great coach. ‘I think you took ay letter too seriously. When I was kidding about Irish parentage I was kidding myself because I happen to be Irish, and I wes not taking any of the things thet I was writing too seriously because I thought I was talking to someone other than a college graduate. And if I could say anything that would: kid the fellow oleng 6 little I did it for the humor thet wes in it. ZI senehed football at Kansas in 1920, and have had better than ten years of college football coaching. I aiso Played football, basketball end baseball, so I ¢o not happen to be a crank on basketball. I am sending you a copy of a speech that I made at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on November 26, and in thet you will see that I have never stated that college footbell if conducted on a basis other than straight professionalism would die. They have named Elmer Layden czar of profeseional football, just as they named — —- Landis ezear of professional baseball. Now, if they would have @ czar of college football and he could say there is a limit to this proselyting and subsidizing then anyone found extending that author- ised limit would be dealt with. The coach breaking the law would be discharged; the athlete violeting the lew would be declared ineligible. The faculty member disregarding the lew would be removed; and the alumnus, - well, it wouldn't make moh difference about him if he couldn't contact either the coach, the faculty representative or the athlete. He would be impobent te do any great damage. And if any of these three people weakened and the alumnus did the thing that he wes not supposed to do, then that college could be disbarred from — ee Czare . Personally, I am not taking myself too seriously on this. I am saying some things on this that many spats writers and others know to be a fact but do not want to undress a very ugly figure in the shape of modern professional college football. Some time in my meanderings over the country if I drive through Lusk, Wyoming, I will look you up. I have been in ee ee end I would enjoy a visit with yous . When you montion that this is the only country where gigantic athletic contests are still permitted, I might call attention to the fact that since England has been in the war they have hed more people et the-seecer football games then we have at our American game. The English are outdoor sports lovers more than In closing I should like to ask you why you think I am the only fellow setting forth the shortcomings of athletics when @lmost every dey sport pages carry indictments of the game made by people who are on the inside and imow. The fellow who is dishonest in his thinking will net say it although he knows it is trues You know it is true and I do. | So what started out as a bit of kidding to you by me made you very vindictive. Say anything you like, but you will find that many of these things that I have said will come true before this war is over. And when this war is ever the college presidents will take hold of this thing in such a way that we will never again heve what we have gone through in the lest fifteen years. i am speaking of out and out professionalisn.
