We would 4 appreciate it very much if you would have Schaake apply 4 for the position if you think he would be interested in it, and I should like to know a little bit more about him-—- a his age, when he got through school, his coaching experience 2 since graduation and anything else about him that might be ’ useful in making our choice for a new coach. 4 The position open is, of course, for football but we could use his basketball talents along some other lines ,perhaps. If he is anything like two other coaches from the Univer- sity of Kansas whom I have known, namely, John Bunn and 4 Bruce Hamilton, I am sure that we will give him due con- a sideration.

Gridleys play Kansas City Evans Paper tonight. {JUS SPOR BY Pete Lightner Coaches of basketball from all over this section of the state will be on hand tonight at the Forum to see the Gridleys and Evans Paper play a cage game under the) new rule which shelves the center jump. Of course, the tipless-center game@ will not be entirely new. It was used last year in case of a dunked free shot. It was used also by the fair cagettes in the national fem- inine tourney last March, the public reacting very favorably to the plan. How the general public will greet) \the game is still a subject of ap- prehension to some coaches, but this column predicts that 98% of the fans will take it and like it. The game is bound to be speedier. There may be times when a team with one of the ten-stery centers, and a short, dwindling lead, will pine for the center jump, But on the other hand, every time a team is scored) upon, the opposition gets the ball. Basketball moves on and _ this} new rule is one of the most drastic ever made and yet there is every indication that it will result as the no-run-with-fumble rule did in football, speed’ up the game. The game tonight has more sig- nigicance than the usual early sea- son game. Evans Paper wants to beat a Valley team and be recog- nized as the logical Kansas City member, an honor now belonging to Healey Motors. So look for a lot of hard basketball around — the chool Changes Coach South Dakota State which has three times played Wichita in re- cent years is to have a new coach next season. “Red” Threlfahl, for- mer Purdue athlete, is going “out.” H.

Alten, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doc: In accordance with our telephone conversation today, I am sending you the newspaper clipping from the Wichita Hagle. I do not know anything about the situation there but thought it might not do any harm to try. I have no idea who to write to unless it would be H. D. Stallings, the new Athletic Director. From this clipping one might get the idea that it is sort of a "hot" spet for a coack but I have been riding on a bed of hot coals for the last year or so, and can take it. Let me know what you think would be the best approach and the best way to get results. I wouldilike to have a long talk with you during amas vacation if you have a little time to spare. 1 am very sorry I cannot see you this week but due to the financial standing of Bethany College (and the Coach) I must stay home. Give my regards to lirs. Allen and the family. Hoping to see you soon, I remain Sincerely yours, lptnn sdallegiaillc Elmer Schaake, P. S.
