Many coaches and rule-makers of basketball have alweys decried so many cut-of-bounds plays in a basketball geme. Under the new rules, innumerable out-cf-bowmds pleys have been added.

Dix, Director UNIVERSITY OF Kansas, LAWRENCE ae Basketball Without the Center Jump hiwonsets on both sides of this question are many and convincing, with the result that I am unable to decide for certain which way I prefer the game. On the side of returning to the center jumps are the facts that: (1) the game has been made dangerously stenuous, and (2) a good deal of color has been os ae game. The first reason is by far the most important, for here we are concerned not with mm temporary injuries to some of the players, but instead possible permanent injury to f the players. Injuries such as twisted knees, charleyhorses, etc. are only occgsional and are usually short lived, but the strenuous pace of the present game exposes all the players to certain ills. (Heart treubtre abe SES G rel breakdown in health, I imagine.) This is particularly true of high schools and small colleges. Large universities are not feateattAilay oo Aten hgnade frccg, With regard to color, the elimination ‘of the center jump ¢ put : 7 has mage games on much the same S as scrimmages. The only differs- ence is that you are playing outside competition instead of your teammates. Just score and let the other team throw the ball in, like kids always used to.do in sandlot games. No formality/ or uncertainty. On the other side of the fence I can see the following facts; lessened. (1) the freakishly tall player's worth has been mak $2) the vicious contact work around the center jump is gone with the elimination of that play. and there is (3) the game is fasterpytyhitt more scoring. Beanpole centers are nowheres near as valuable to their teams as they were before. Although the tall man still can get rebounds and tip the ball in or bat it wway. from the basket, he can no longer _The K.U. NEWS BUREAU W. A. Dix, Director UNIVERSITY OF Kansas, LAWRENCE get the ball for his team in the manner he formerly did. Before, he stbod a strong chance of getting the ball for his team after every goal. The team with the smaller center usually started with a virtual handicap of 8 or 10 points. Although the shorter team may steal the ball, it cannot do this very often against a smart tean, which keeps chamgeing the direction of the tip. Contact around the center circle always chilled me. The vicious way in which players would smack together in attempting to get the ball after it had been tipped, even jolted the spectators and often led to unpleasantness among the players. On jump balls in the present gane, possession of the ball is not so important and the players do not spread out as much, thus do not have the running start. In the Lawrence high-Rosedale game here last week, on the opening tip-off, one of the players went high into the air after the ball and someone else rushing up caught him across the back of the legs. The player lit flat on his back and if his head had hit the floor, he probably would have been knocked unconscbous. This sort of thing can happen on other plays too, but with the center jump you have the situation for something of this sort every time. The matter of centers jumping into their opponents also enters in. I remember Bill Hohnson used to take a terrible knocking around this way. Other centers, especially Oklahoma's,would knock Bill clear out of the circle sometimes in their efforts to wear out the Kansas scoring ace. When you begin to get tired, this must hurt. Because the game is longer, there is more scoring and the game seems to have been speeded up too. Throwing the ball in after a goal seems to get the teams in a running mood. I've never seen two good g@ast break teams play, so am not qualified to speak on that style of play. 3 Pitt HMM pevel ( ‘ Nive as a * ‘ va a" Stee CE RE caer. nN $ ey, 4 DAI SAT eal Oh iat ij ? ist r : rope Pe Oe ee ey ee Se - mney sh BL ate ES a Toa hai and e ; yy a ce ay) 2" at eon Ps see Fe vee PS pa f BOC WY SOE Ey Polat fi rf Eh thts | LNG fet at Kies Bass sd ie Catt fi hate cs OER | sak Unies ap \ Fe Fay fie ER oe § ea ae oe Sst ta ele Boies j ; ‘ i Pato oe ie te th Atietes . : ; ete rie Rix PS ee en DUAR oe : - Satan aan \ FES a tea Sree Be ‘ Na eto ay dence HESS ey aon Py Foes ; nie hag x : ir £ rae ‘ SOR ay Capes ss ‘ Coe / ¥ - ¥ rea : A . j i f ; j ve iy x t oO , a aie ’ Hoe . 4 icons 'j i he path : i 1 t £ ee - (et0 THE bth yirenrot edi | aft 0 + 9a “BeiLtdo. etnies phous seco ‘eute: batdae. ‘apadaod Se a ee : ate kn ee e ! ee ee ca ata Nolet ae al, meed etd tot ited ott Tee piers tesis a ae TOT fied edt gatdtes to. sonaio gho1ds g boots fears vs adiw bedrade yilaven ted99. tellene edd eit Fw mast enT .Llaoe edt feete yam geet tads touts ody dapiottts etalog Of 70.8 % SPoAee ey ~ egeed do taw: eed drei 8 Peaiagernesto yxy aide ob: Jonnse ar ited Be a i abe ode.

Well, be sure, Oravotz, that the heels of your fect are about 12 to 18 inches apart and that the right foot is pointing in the direction of the intended step. Both knees should be bente The whole position should insure good balance. Miss Hurtgen, you aren't taking a straight lungee Remember, the tip of your foil must touch on the body betwoon the waist ond neck in ordor to seare a good touche Tom Orr, why do you hold your left leg bent so much more than the right leg? I beliove it is a little casior fcr mc to maintain my balance this woye Then I find that if I keep my left leg tcockod' like some people cock the trigger of a gum to shoot quickly that I cam lunge much quickore That's a gocd idoa, Tome Mr. Raport, what scoms to be wrong with my attack? Now, Brody, youtro still lax about your posturce Always keep in mind that your actual body posture in foneing, os in every other thing you do, reflects your mental postures. i lackudaisical foncing form usual ly means a slipshod fencer.

I guoss I agroe with Iiss Hurtgen§ But I'd like to add that I belicve fencing as a sport or game is a good way of satisfying the desire for competition. It's universale That makes me think of an article I read recentlye What was it about, Bolt? Well, the gist of tho article was to the offect that if a person could fonec, play chess, ride horseback and enjoy food he would be able to got along in most any coumtry of the worlde That's interesting. I can cat and fence; 211 I need now is to learn to play chess and ride horscbacke I beliove Doris Johnson could got a long oven without the chess gamce What do you think, Shroff? You bet Fnough saidg Now, to get back to the original qucstione Miss Dorothy Houston, what are your reasons for fencing? I enjoy the game becouse it is an invigorating form of recreative sport. It also allows for a ploasant way of meeting people. May I intorrupt? Yos, Mire Orre You said that foncing was a n invigorating sport, and I quite agree with you, Well, you romember Miss Swofford of tho K.U. women's fonce ing team in defeating Miss Charvat, of the University of Kansas City, last Saturday fenced for almost 12 continuous minutes. Quite a work» out $ Talking about the foneing tcam recalls an article I read about the K.U. Fencing Team being umdefeated in three years of competitions Is that right, Mr. Raport? Yes, Perkins, that's right. As you probably know, tho Univorsity of Kansas Fencing Team is sponsored by the Department of Physical Educe ation, which is under the chairmanship of Dre Fe Ce Allone Dre Allon has beon very friendly to fencing and with his cncouragement wo havo gone ahead with our feneing programe Yes, Wo've been fortunate in remiining undefeated against such teams as tho University of Missouri, Wichita University, Kansas City YoMeCeAe, Rockhill Foncing Club, Heart Oravetz Raport Johnson Raport Orr Houston Orr Hurtgen Raport Oravetz oo5 on of America Championship team, and the University of Kansas Citye We hope we can continuc successfullye When do you have the next team bout, lir. Raport, and with whom? Next Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the University of Kansas Fencing Team will go against the Kansas City University toam at Kansas Citye What about the women, lir. Raport? Do they have @ team? The University of Kansas, Miss Johnson, hss for some years been trying to arrange for actual women's competition as a teome However, I have beon unable to find any school or institution in the Missouri Valley who had womens' fencing teams until the University of Kansas City developed fencing. Last Saturday we pitted a womens fencing team from KU. against one from KeCeUe in conjunction with the nen's matchose The two womens teams fenced to a tice This was the first time that women fencers met as a team in the Missouri Valleye We hope it can be made a permanent thinge Mre Orr hero fenced last Saturday against the K.C.Ue team, What did youthink of the match, Tom? Of course I enjoyed all the bouts, since I like fencinge But the most interesting thing to me was the loeftehanded fencor I fenced agdinste That was the first time I'd ever met a good loftehanded foncer, and for & while he had me stumpede I read in the reports that you defeated hime Yes, and I was glad he was the only leftehandcre Mre Raport, I noticed in our University paper that we have a fencing clube What is it? The Fencing Club, like the Fencing Team, is sponsored by the Department of Physical Education. The general purpose of the club, as you can readily surmise, from the name, is to ferce, Howover, the fencing game in itself is only part of the broader scope of the clube In a way it attempts to promote friendship and wholesome companionship among the men and women fencers or thoso interested in fencing’ here at the Univ- ersity. Since the general idea of all education is to help us to live better, then the promotion of wholesome social contacts through the medium of the fencing allows the University Fencing Club to perform an important function for the studentse Now, you will ask how wo try to do all thise tMaybe I'd better let Kalman Oravetz, secretary of the Ke Ue. Fencing Club, explain that to youe We mect twice 2 week, All wiiversity poople may visit and learn to fence. The more advanced students are always glad to help the new- comerse Within the organization there are ranks, depending on tho fencing ability of the individual, to which the foneer may bo promoted. During the semester we hold glleschool fencing tournaments which pro vides entertainment for the spectators and an opportunity to fence for Johnson Orr Raport Orr Raport Raport Perkins Shroff _ Belt Perkins Raport Girls Houston Shroff Johns on Orr Raport ote fi the beginners who are intcrestedg At these tournaments both the spece tators and the contestanss are forved refreshments. Te have found that everyone likes to cate Too, it gives those people who have little chance to compete in other forms of activity a chance to satisfy them- selvese All this may be summed up in the increased fencing knowledge accruing to the individuals who watch and those who competes. All in all, we have a swell time and meet mighty fine people, and that's what counts, I thinke That sounds very interestings I hope I'll be able to joing Are there any dues? As president of the club, may I have the floor? Go right ahead, Orre That must have been an oversight on Kalman's part not to mention the dues, or were you avoiding the subject, Kalmom? Anyway, dues are $1.00 & yeare There are no other assessments for the picnics, parties and tournanents. Probably the best $1.00 investment anyone interested in fencing can makce Tom, it souitds like you're out for somethings Yourtre right, Mre Raporte Well, I hope these people here will join the K.U. Fencing Clube In-= cidentally, talking about cntertainmont, J remember once when a young married couple who were attending K. U. fenced an exhibition match at a Fencing Club tournament. The female contingent were very strong for the wife, and the men cheered the husbande Who won? I'll bet the husband won, If he did he probably had to do tho dishese Who did win?

This is my ninth year at Washburn. However, it deesn't seem that longs You are right at that, but I have seen you for a number of years at Washburn College when we have visited there or when we have competed in our athletic contests, I do not believe I have ever been at Washe burn but what I have seen you very much on the jobe In what school did you receive your training in physical education, Earl, and when did you graduate? Well, I did my wdergraduate work at the University of Illinois, and I graduated in 1929. For my graduate work I went to New York University. In addition to your work as director of physical education you handle the intramurals and the professional training in physical education, do you not? Yes, these are my principal responsibilitics, I also serve as trainer of the football team and as Supervisor of Recreation of Shawnce Cowmtye As president of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association I especially desired to have you here tonight, Mr. Kauffman, to have you tell us somothing about that organization, All of the physical oducae tors and coaches in the state of Kansas aro planning to go to Pittsburg - Friday and Saturday of next wock, March 25 and 26, not only to do honor to President We Ae Brandenburg, who is cclcebrating the silver annivore sary of his administration of the Kansas State Toachers Collogo at Pittse burg, but particularly many of the carnest youmg mon and women students in physical education’ at’ Wichita University, Kansas Stato Agricultural Collego, Washburn Colloge, and the University of Kansas will assomblo in Pittsburg to learn the newor trends in physical oducatione Well, this is as it should bose Progressive physical cducation takes tho live-wiro individual to koop it in the foreground. Only a short while ago we swung from the old formal Swedish and German idoas to tho informe al rocroational and free play idea, Today the pendulum is slowly swinge- ing back, but it is swinging forword, alsoe I would just like to reitcrate that tho purpose of our Kansas Hoalth and Physical Education Association is (1) to bring togethor tho people who are intorested in physical education, health, recroation,; and sefety cducation and athloties; (2) to focus attontion upon (a) the need for safe living; Allen Kauffman Allen Kauffman Adlen Kauffman es ‘ (b) the importance of a balanced omotional lifes; (c) tho val ue of athletics in terms of better living; (d) the integrating of tho health and physical cducation program into the regular class schedulee Well, that is all very interesting, Mr. Kauffman, My, how time fliesé To think it was back in 1928 the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association was organized at a moeting of the Physical Education Round Table of the Kansas State Teachers Association, at Manhattan, Kansase I have proviously mentioned that you are president of tho association this year, and of course the president has the answer for overythinge And when we spoak of organizing we always want to Imow about the pion- eers who founded tho organizatione Sinde the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association is in its adolescence, won't you please give us a sketch of a fow of the pioneers who made this fastegrowing organization an assured succoss? Well, Dre Allen, to montion only a few of the pioneers in the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association I could name Strong Hinman, > supervisor of Physical Education at Wichita; Le Pe Washburn, director of Physical Education at Kansas State Collegc, Manhattans Le Pe Dittemore, supervisor of Physical Eduecati on at Topeka; Miss Irma Gene Nevins, director of Physical Education at the Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg; and Merle Honre, supervisor of Physical Education in Kansas City, Kansas. Some of the carly officers of the state assoce iation later held important positions in district and national organize ations. Strong Hinman has been presidont of tho Amorican Physical Education Association, and L. P. Washburn is now se¢rotary of the Central District. Our state association has representation in both district and national councilse Well, thank you, Mr. Kauffman. I feel that the objectives of the assoc- iation, as oxpressed in the constitution and by-laws, are very much worth while, and include those very salient points, namely: To awaken a wide and intelligent intcrest in health and physical education; to acquire knowledge concerning health and physical educations to encour age the training of teachers for this fiolds and to secure adequate programs for the childron of Kansase By the woy, Mre Kauffman, how many members are thero in our organization? We now have woll over 200 members, Dre Allene Ever since its birth the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association has had a steady increase in growth ond influenece There were approximately 30 members in the association when it was first organizede That is indecd interesting, Mr. Kauffman, ond wo are encouraged by this growth of mombershipe Now, please tell us something about the growth of this organization. The first meetings of the state association wero held in comoction with the Round Tables of the Kansas State Teashers Association, Later we hold our meetings in conjunction with the Coumeil of Administrations However, three years ago we broke away from othor tics and inaugurated the policy of holding our own convention. This convention is held coach Allen Kouffman Allon Kauffman Allen Kauffman oe spring in some city in Kansas, Wo have met in Manhattan and Wichita, ‘and this year on March 25 and 26 we have our convention in Pittsburg, Kansase Have you completely abandoned the Round Table mectings, now that the association holds its ovm state convention? No, Dr. Allon, in addition to the state convontion woe still maintain our Round Table meetings in the falle Mr, Kauffman, do you not fcel that the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association has contributed matcrially to the development of physical education in schools in Kansas and toward the establishment of the teaching of physical education as a profession? As you know, we have inaugurated a plan here at the University of Kansas whereby students may take a foureyear course, majoring in physical cducation, and receive the degree of Be Se in Education. These majors in the dew» partment are looking toward the teaching of physical education as their profession. Yes, Dre Allen, there is a growing trend for a more adequate profoss- ional traininge In addition to your program here, Kansas State College and the Teachers Colleges as wcll as Washburn, Baker, and others are offering similar work. Referring to your first point, tho State Association can point to the following accomplishments: the cxtension of rural school play days; the requirements that teachers in physical education have certain standards of training in order to teach in Class A high schools; also we have undertaken to bring about a co- ordination of the efforts of our association and others interested in child welfare, such as the Tuberculosis Association, the Public Hoalth group, and the medical profession. We have undertaken reorganization of the Round Table mectings to make them a more vital part of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association programe Well, Mr. Kauffman, that sounds as if the organization is indeed kcep- ing up with the trends in educatione Your publicity committee has been very active, also, in carrying on cxtensive radio programs, and in supplying the newspapors and magazines with articles pertaining to health and physical cducatione Do you not also publish a bulletin which is distributed to the members of the association? Yes, this bulletin is distributed each month to our members, and to all teachers of physical education once each year, The bulletin includes material written by members of the association, excerpts from papers delivered at meotings and convontions, and news items about the mon and women teaching physical education in schools and collegese in other words, we try in this way to keop our membors in touch with the proge- ross of trends in our ficlde You might be interested, Dr, Allen, to know that our state association has been responsible for bringing speakers of national reputation to Kansas, We have had on our programs Dre He He McCloy, the present president of the American Association for Health and Physical Education, and head of the physical oducation do» partment at the State University of Iowa; Dr. Harry Scott, director Alien Kauffman Allen Kauffman Allen Kauffman cols com of physical education at the Rice Institute, Houston, Texas; Mabel Lec, director of physical cducation at the University of Nobraskm, and former president of the national associations and other ousséamnding leadorse Yes, Mre Kauffman, I know Miss Lee very well. Sho is a sistor of Mrse Theodore Aszmane Dre Aszman, you know, is minister of the Presbyter-= ian Church here in Lawrenco,. Miss Lee has just finished a very compre- hensive volume on Organization and Administration of Physical Educatione Now, back to tho state convention, Mr. Kauffmane Several of our faculty are on the program, anda great number of our students who are majoring in the department of Physical Education, plan to attonde This attitude on the part of those physical education majors augurs well for their successes You think well of the program this year, do you not, Mr. Kauffman? Yes, Dre Allen, I believe this year's program will be perhaps tho strongest ever arranged for eur associatione We are featuring Marion Telford, field sccretary for the National Safety Comeil, who will speak on subjects pertaining to safety education in athletics and physical cducatione Howard White, technical advisor on recreation for the Works Progress Administration with headquarters in Washington, DeCe will be present to discuss problems pertaining to recreation and leisure. In addition, there will be a numbor of prominent local people, including your own Dre Bert Nash from the University of Kansase | By the way, I have just read Dr, Bert Nash's contribution as gucst editor in Bulletin #6, the last issje of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association convention numbore Dre Nash very definitely ties up the department of mental hygiene and physical cducation in a way that makes us wonder why this thing has not been done beforee But you kmow, Mre Kauffman, that is why wo have conventions, When people activate themselves in the thing in which they are most interestod, then we have the earmarks of progrosse However, our convention will not be all work, Dre Allene Ample provis- ion Has been made for recreation as well as education. On Friday night, following the first general session, wo shall be gucsts of the Pittse burg Teachors College at an alleschool party. At all of the general sessions there will be singing, and of course we havon't forgotten to make provision for catinge Well, that's fine, Mre Kauffmane I kmow overyone will cnjoy themselves, both at work and at playe But I want to ask you something about these exhibits of physical education materials. Can you tell us somothing about that? Yes, Drs Allen, besides the leetures at the convention, we havo arranged an exhibit of physical education materia ls, of which Mre Edgar Schmidt, our state director of recroation for WPA, has chargce There will also be demonstrations of physical education. activitics by the Pittsburg school children, a domonstration of co=rcecroation acti- vities by children from the Coffeyville schools, and a demonstration Allen Kauffman Allen “= of the newest methods of teaching readinge Thoro will also be various commercial oxhibits, including athletic equipment, toxt books, ctce Well, some of those things certainly do incorporate the newor trends in physical education, And cortainly there is a very definite trend toward coerecreation in physical education activities. I mean by that the organization of more recreative classes in which boys and girls play together, This is being done now in our Lawrence public school systome Mre Le Re "Dad" Perry, and the teacher of the girls at the junior high school each week conduct play days in Central Park for the boys and girls. They play together with a freedom that is most roe freshinge I am now speaking about basoball, soft ball, and so forthe The girl pitches, runs bases, hits the ball with an abandon that would put to shame the girl of a decade ago, and some of the girls are ox port, tooe They whoop and yell on the play ficld but they are just as lady-like as you please in the hall and in the class roome They have poise, confidence and grace, and the best of it always, they have had fun and they are building their bodies to insure hoalth in later yoarse I notice one of the most important features of your program, Mre Kauffman, is this special program arranged for physical education students. These are the prospective teachers in this field, and this program gives them an opportunity to take part in a professional gathoring, and to associate with teachers now in the fielde Mre Kauff~ man, we have been talking a lot about the organization of the state association, and about the convention that is to be held next week, but what about the future of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association? What are some of the things the assoeiation hopes to accomplish? That is a good question, Dre Allen. The work of the association is not completed when the convontion is ovore Some of the things we hope to accomplish are = (1) The sccuring of a state director of health and physical odueation; (2) More rigid certification of teachers; (3) Minimum standards for health and physical education programs in the various schools in Kansas; (4) . more comprehensive understanding of the relationship existing between health, physical education and ree creation; and (5) A deeper appreciation of the place of the above program in the task of educating children to live in a democracye Thank you, Mre Kauffmane I will sce you and the 200 odd members at Pittsburg next Friday and Saturday weeke I am sure it will be a most profitable mectinge Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn RADIO PROGRAM PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR HEALTH February 24, 1938 "Golf and A College Education" I am pleased te have as my suest tonight Glenn Ostman, who has attained natiowl, recomition in golf since his graduation from the UWiversity of Kansas, and who this spring will coach the Kansas varsity golf teame How do you feel to return to the University as this year's golf coach, Glenn?

It was pleasurable activity but it required long hours, As a Caddy you had to be very courteous, solicitous, on the job all the time, and it taught you a certain type of patience through the hard grind of things. Don't you think by this patience a nd courtesy and special talent that a caddy has to possess to serve his employer that he learns a great deal about human nature? Yes, Dr. Allon, I believe that caddying is one of the best trainings a boy can followe There is no place where one's character is better cx= hibited than when playing golf. The boy who watches the duffers as well as the good players learns concentration and the correct mental attitude for competitive golfe This also helps him in other endeavorse As Grantland Rice once said, "Golf will try the nerves of even the doctors and clergy."

Yes, I havee Some people lose their temper, even in tournament golf.

He was one of the founders of the Lawrence Country Club, and is yet one of the most interested and consistent golfers on that course, Won't you tell us who this gentleman is? Yes, I believe you moan Mr. Irving Hill. Certainly. And I remember very well when Mr. Hill called me up, and said, "Say, Allen, we have got to find some sort of a job for Glenn Oatmon so he can go on to colleges Yes, KU. He is finishing high school, and that boy wants to go on the hill. It will be necessary for him to have a jobe" And I said, "That is fine, Mre Hille Many of our boys from all over the state want jobs of various sorts so they can defray a part of their expenses at the University. I don't know whether I can find a job for Glenn or not, but I'll do the best I cane" Then- what do you think Mr, Hill said? “Well, make one for him!" And that is just what we did, and Glenn, you dida great job of it. By the way, Glenn, what school in the University did you graduate from, and when? The Schook of Business, in 1937. And as I remember, you were captain of the Kansas golf team this past year, wore you not? Yes, the past two yearse That's rights I had forgotten that. Whatuother activities did you participate in during your college years, Glenn? Well, I studied some voice and music in my first two years, being a member of the K.U,. men's glee club and band for two yoars eache Perhaps this accoumts for that near perfect timing and rhythm in your swinge By the way, Glenn, don't we have another K.U. graduate who has won national recognition in golf? It secms to me that Waldo Crowder and you are the only K.U. boys who played on the varsity golf team who have national ranking. What ranking did Waldo attain, Glenn? Waldo was captain of the Kansas golf team in 1924, I believe, and was one year ranked among the low 20 in the National Open. That was after he turned professional, wasn't it? Yes, that's right. And now Waldo is professional at the Cleveland Country Club, Cleveland, Ohios Well, that is a signal honore Now, tcll us about yourself, Glenne You played in the National Amateur at Portland, Oregon, last summer, did you not? Tell us something of your success theres Glenn . Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn mages Well, I qualified at the National Amateur in the sectional qualifying rounds and also in the tournament proper at Portland. I was beaten by Jack Gains, oa former Walker Cup Star of Glendale, California, after I had shot the back side in two under par to square the matehe He birdicd the 19th hole to beat me one down, this being one of the three cxtra- hole matches in the tournament. Gee, that was a tough loss wmder those conditions, Isn't it true that you are the first omateur in Kansas ever to have qualified for the National Amateur tournament? I don(t know about that, Doc, but they informed me out there at Port~ land that I was the first Kansas boy to qualify at the tournancnt. But, Doc, there is another K.U. boy who was a great golfer whom we should mentions Do you mean the late Chester Jones, Glenn? Yese Chet was one of the best golfers Kansas has over produced. However, he never played on tho Kansas varsity because at thet time the University didn't have a golf tceame Chet was runner-up in tho Kansas Stato tiwico, and had gained some national acclaim. In my mind, he had one of the prettiest golf swings I have ever sconé Well, he had a good teacher, didntt he, Glenn? Yes, he did. His father, Dra He Te Jones, started him when he was a young boye Dr. Jones always had Chester, Endsley and Penfield out on the course practicing swings when thoy were kmec-high to a duck, And by the way, Dr. Jones and Mr, Irving Hill still shoot a good game of golf. Yes, and isn't Dr. Penfield Jones the Lawrence Cowmtry Club champion at the present timc? Yes, I believe he ise Well, Glenn, what about your conquest of the Missouri Amateur champion- ship? When wos that played? Well, I won that on Jume 19, 1937, That was my first major championshipe I happened to be hot at the right week, and through good fortunc I ws able to finish the weck undefeated. That is necessary to championship play, I guesse I have coached a lot of teams and have participated in a lot of athletic contests, and I believe I know how a fellow fccls just before he is entering a major contest. I would like you to tell your friends to vhat special thing you attribute your winning the championship, psychological as well as physical. In other words, were you determined you wore going to win? Well, we all go into the tournament with that detormination, Doc, but that alone won't wine I attribute my victory in the Missouri State to concentration and getting the breaks which are necessary to win any championship. When the pressure gets tough one must have the physical stamina and good golf form to rely one Tho greatest opponent in competi-~ tive golf is yourself. The mental attitude is the hardest to control of any game, I believe, but if one plays cach shot when he comes to it, to Allen | Wets Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen calios the best of his ability, let neither gallery nor some mistake hinder that coneentration, he is bound to win some of the timee I had the breaks in the Missonri State with mce I also had some against me; but the fortunate ones played a great part in titis victorys How many entrants were there in thie tournament, Glenn? I believe there were around 250 or 300,Doce This group was climinated to 32 for the championship brackets Mention some of those Missouri golfers > Glenna Well, I might mention Grable Duval and Walter Blevins, of Kansas City; Joe Switzer and Jim Black, of St. Louis; and Ted Adams, of Ste Louise In the final match between Ted Adams and myself I was one up at the end of the morning 18 holes. One of my good friends, Mre Lloyd Houston, of Lawrence, came over to see this final matche During the noon hour he drove me around St. Joseph in order to quiet my nerves and to kcep me free from the gallery. This means of relaxation helped me greatly in the final 18 holes of the afternoon which decided the title. Lloyd Houston consistently does these worthwhile things for young men. I think it was a grand thing to do for youe This rather revived the old Kansas-Missouri rivalry in the final match, didn't it, Glenn? Well, that is true, Doc. Most of the gallery was made up of Missouri people who were very staunch in their support of Adamse By the 27th hole I had increased my one up lead to five upe But here the inevitable happened. Adams got hot, so to speak, firing three birdies at me on the next four holes, and after I had missed a short put the match was square with four holes to playe I shot the next three holes in one under par to win the match and title two upe That is certainly very interesting, Glenn, and it was o great victory for youe I also understand you were the smallest entrant in the National Amateur this past year. How do you consistently manage to knock that ball out there so far and straight? Well, Doc, I must rely on rhythm and timing, which are the main requise ites for both acccuracy and distance. If one has perfect coordination of mind and muscle, sheer strength and weight are not necessarye Who first advised you to sacrifice distance for accuracy? About three yoars ago when I first gained same attention in Kansas City, Johnny Dawson, one of my good friends whom I had just met then, came to me and said, “Why don*t you concentrate on accuracy since your golf swing tends to be of that type?" Doc, that was a great inspiration to me, and most of my practice has been with that suggestion in minde Glem, I have noticed that your short game is goode You are able, by accuracy around the greens, to make up for the distance the big boys gcte This delicate work around the greens required good coordination, What are some of your methods of training? Glenn “Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen ose Lately I have been training with a medicine ball, since this is excoll.-. ent for development of the serratus muscles in the thoracic region, Bowling is also beneficial for the golf swings Yes, and a perfectly grooved golf swing uses about as many muscles of the body at one time as any other athletic endeavor. What do you use for training the eye? Well, I try to play only games which are played with a stationary ball, since golf is hitting a stationary ball. Rifle practice and billiards are good for this particular trainings Glenn, you played an exhibition game with some of our University stud- ents last fall here on the University golf course. What did you think of the course? Well, the 6
