Dear Dre Allens

We have entered order tor the Noe 5 wood as re=
quested in your letter that came this morning.

Sorry to learn ebout that plating needing atten-
tion. Chromium plating is out for the duration.
From what you have written, though, it is my
opinion that a composition sleeve over the lower
part of the shaft will be the best way out.

So after the golting weather is over for awhile,
if you will send in the set of woods, we will
take care of that.

It is possible that you may be ready for a refin-~
ish jobsThis ts $2.00 per club, and includes
any minor repair-work that may be necessary.

Kindest regards.

WAR ‘WORKOUT’ AT K. U.

:| THOSE SUBJECT TO DRAFT AND
IN RESERVES TO TOUGHEN UP.

Compulsory Physical Condition-
ing Program. Will Be Under
Supervision of Dr. For-

rest C, Allen. f

 

(By The Star’s Own Service.)

Lawrence, Kas., Sept. 14—A com-
pulsory ‘war-time physical condition -
ing program for all men registered
for selective service or enlisted in
the reserves of the armed forces will
go into operation with the opening
|of the fall semester at the University
of Kansas.

Dr. Forrest C, Allen, head of the
department of physical education,
will direct the program, which will
be substituted for optional activity
courses, dropp@d from the curricu-
lum because of a lack of available
instructors.

An estimated 1,600 men will par
ticipate in the program, composed
of three hours of rugged condition-
ing each week, as compared to 400
men, who were enrolled in optional
courses last year.

ALLEN TO HAVE ASSISTANTS.

Assisting Dr. Allen will be Henry
Shenk, who also is in charge of
intramural sports and practice
teaching; Dr, Laurence Morehouse, |
|who will head the swimming pro-
gram and graduate work for physi-
cal education majors, and Wayne
Replogle, freshman football coach. |

In preparation for the program,
two obstacle courses have been con-
structed, patterned after those used
by the army and navy in their con-
ditioning programs. One is located|
south of Robinson gymnasium, the
other is west of Memorial stadium.

In running over the 150-yard
course, laid out over rough terrain,
‘the men will have to climb over an
'8-foot barrier, broad jump over a
| water hazard, scurry the length of
‘a 50-foot log, leap and jump over
hurdles and vault. Cross- |
jaunts also are included.

, OUTDOOR CALISTHENICS STRESSED.

Fifteen minutes of- rigorous calis-
thenics, which will open class routine,
will be staged out of doors on the
athletic fields. In case of inclement
weather they will be held in the
gymnasium and Hoch auditorium.
Games that are in season will be
used—touch\ football, baské@tball,
boxing, wrestling and other contact
sports.

Before being grouped for the out-
of-door conditioning Sessions, all
‘men must take a swimming test.
Men who fail will ‘be enrolled in a
swimming course. The swimming
test includes jumping into deep
|water, leveling off and swimming
fifteen yards, completing a turn, and!
swimming back to the starting point.|

Military authorities have noted
the importance of swimming as an
accomplishment. Since hundreds of
soldiers and aviators have been lost
|to the nation through their ina-
| bility to swim, an effort is being
|made to make “every swimmer a life
saved and a potential life saver.”

TO GIVE PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS,

| Before i actively engaged in the
|program, all men will be given physi-
cal examinations at the University
hospital under the supervision of}
Dr, R. I. Canuteson. From the ex-
aminations the men will be placed
in three classifications: Class A—
men who are fit for anything; Class
|B—men who have limitations, but
still are eligible for the toughener
course; Class C—men who will not
be allow ed strenuous activity.

In the absence of Bill Hargiss,
track coach, a course in track and
field at the stadium will be held
three days a week.

“Conditioning, morale and intense
enjoyment is the aim of our pro-
gram,” Dr. Allen says. “Even sing-
ing on the march will be encour-
aged.”

The basketball system will be used
for checking equipment and towels.
Each student will pay a towel and
locker fee of $2.25 and a $1 deposit.
J. G. McElhiney, a Kansas univer-
sity graduate, has been appointed
full-time supervisor of lockers and
equipment,

Physical education will be re-
quired of each student entering
the university for the first year.
A program of activities has been
set up so each co-ed may have a
choice of sports activities. On two
days of each week the women will
attend activity classes. On Friday
they will meet for a conditioning
and corrective period. Miss Ruth
Hoover is in charge of the women’s
program.

Re: "War 'Workout' at K. U."
Dear Dr. Allen:

The enclosed news story appeared in The Kansas
City Times this morning and I read it with much interest.

I have been privileged to instruct our company
of the Kansas State Guard and several squadrons of the
Civil Air Patrol in physical training.

We have no obstacle course -- but I think we
should and intend to see what can be done to accomplish
that objective.

We plan to start swimming instruction for the Guard
this week or next. You commented on my physical condition
as you observed it in Kansas City recently -- all of my
time available for recreation since leaving the University
has been devoted to swimming. I think that accounts for
it -- when coupled with your admonition to "always leave the
table just a little bit hungry."

Not that you need any suggestions, but on the basis
of fair exchange I am enclosing an extra copy of Field
Manual 21-20, which I have been following. If you have
any manuals or outlines of courses,I would greatly appreciate
copies.

I rather suspect, however, that the "Allen System" --
which has no equal -- is being used. Of course, there would
be no manuals in that case.

Best personal regards.

Sincerely,
J

Dear Phog:

This is to answer your letter concerning our conversation on the
way back from Norman in the winter of 1940 with reference to
Allie Paine and Ug Roberts. As I remember, the facts in con-
nection with that incident are substantially as follows:

some time during the early part of the year 1959 or latter part
of 1938, while I was Police Chief here, I was riding one night
on a tour inspection with one Capt. Wallace Carel, who was then
in canmand of the scout car division of the Police Department.
As we were cruising over the City a radio call came out report-
ing an attempted high jacking of a drug store delivery boy and
giving the tag number of the car in which the assailants were
riding.

Capt. Carel and I went to Police Headquarters and checked on this

tag number and found the address where it belonged. We went to

this address, which as I recall was somewhere on West 2nd or 3rd
Street, and learned that the car had been taken by a boy who was

either a member of the family or lived at the same place as the

owner of the car, but that the car had been taken without permission.
At this address we found a boy who admitted being out in the car

and admitted being in the vicinity of the supposed attempted high

jacking with three or four other boys, but he denied any attempted
high jacking. He gave us the names of the other boys who had been
with him and stated that he had just left them at their respective

homes a short time before.

One of the names which he gave us was that of Allie Paine with an
address as I recall somewhere in the 100 block on East 5th Street.

I did not know the Paine boy personally, but because of his being

an outstanding athlete I did know who he was. I do not recall the
DEFENSE name of Ug Roberts being in that picture, but it is possible

he may have been one of the other boys involved. However,

BUY do not recall his name in connection with this incident.

   

z

  
 

we

 
Page #2 - Dr. Forrest C. Allen - 3/5/43.

Capt. Carel and I took this boy from the address on West 2nd
Street and went to the address of the Paine boy and went in. We
found the Paine boy and another boy in bed. As I recall these
boys admitted riding around in the car, but denied any attempted
high jacking.

We then took these three boys to the address of another boy who
was in the car and who lived in about the 600 block on North
Robinson. We got all four of the boys together in the car and
talked to them for quite a- while and there was some question in
our minds about the supposed high jacking.Inasmuch as the car
was not harmed and was returned to its owner and there was some
close or family connection between the boy who took the car
without permission and the owner of the same, we did not feel
justified under the circumstances of arresting them for the theft
of the car.

I remember that we then took the boys back to their respective
homes and kept their names and addresses. Later follow up inves-
tigations were made by officers of the Detective Bureau and the
result of these investigations no high jacking charges were filed.

It occurs to me that some where in the picture there was a suggestion
that there was some altercation between the boys in the car and

the drug store delivery boy, but there was no high jacking intended
and it was the outgrowth of some past differences between the boys.

Inasmuch as no charges were filed and no arrests were made, there
would be no record of this in the Police Department.

It is my opinion now and was then that the whole thing was merely
a boyish prank and I believe that no useful purpose could be
served by making this thing public.

Trusting that this information will be held confidential, I remain

Mire Otto R. Souders,

Dear Brother Soutidrs:

«Immediately upon reeeipt of your letter of the 15th instant
I called the Alumni Office to learn what I could about George H.
Wilne, who received a loan from the the Knights Templar Educational
Loan Fund in 1929. Milne was in the Law School here from 1928 to
1930. His home at that time was Sabetha, Kansas, and the Alumni
Office has no record of any other address.

At the time Milne was in sehool we had about ten loan funds,
each administered by different groups. George 0. Poster had charge
of one, the Scottish Rite loan fund, and Pr. Burdick had charge of
‘another Masonic loan fund, and Dave Horkmens had charge of the Acacia
loan fumd. Students in those years got wise to the fact, end they
would go around t all.

I remember Milne coming and asking for a recommendation,
and that was all that was necessary because the vogue then was to
loan money ‘to students after the war. The history of the loan funds
has been that the two professional organizations, the lawyers and
the doctors, have repaid their loans more poorly than ali of the
other student groups combined. ‘The doctors are the worst and the
lewyers next. This information comes from a University authority.

If at any time I learn of the whereabouts of Milne, or if

I ean give you any information or aid in collecting this loan, I will
be happy to do so. :
