Dear Ernie: Iam listing below some of the things that I would very much desire to have for my practice court. I would like the windows thoroughly painted on the south side. The sun's rays come in so strong there that it partially blinds the boys. Dell and Bun paint these but they just patch over the scaled spots. I think a real good paint job over the entire window space would be helpful because in this this scales off and the sun's rays hit a fellow directly in the eye when he is about to see the ball. . Then I would like all the backboards painted with a coat of white paint. This could be done Sunday. If Dell couldn't do it, we have a young man, Everett Hill, who did the painting for Dell this summer. He is a varsity basketball player and a Lawrence boy, and Dell said that he was one of the best. I am only listing these things so that you would know about them. You asked me to do so, and I am listing even the incidental things in order. I would also like to diagram some floor plays on the gym nasium floor. We did this about ten years ago, using water color mixed with LePage's glue and it was very helpful to young boys learning the floor formation plays. Again, we oan get Whitey Carlson and Everett Hill to do this, but I thought you would want to go through Dell in the usual way. Then if he says he can't do it, we will take care of it. The important thing is that we would like to practice on the auditorium floor, having use of it from 3:30 on during the basket- ball season. This has never been permitted us in all the time that the J auditériimm has been used, yet it was the express purpose of the Chancellor — when he appealed to the Legislature to build it, that it was to be used for a basketball court and an auditorium. We think that is manifestly unfair to our sport because the other five Big Six schools practice where they play their games. This makes us play on a semi-foreign court, and a foreign court away. This certainly is disadvantageous to the basketball interests of the University of Kansas. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. July 26, 1944.

I desire to have sumer basketball practice, and since we had skimped along last basketball season with fewer balls than we actually needed, I thought it was about time that we got some. 7 Desiring to say things that could not be misconstrued as were my remarks to you after the Nebraska gam, I merely want to express my opinion thet efter twenty-five years of coaching here I think it is rather incongruous to have a meeting of the finance committee to pass upon basket- balls. Certainly a fellow who had conched twenty-five years and had made a success of the game with a consequent sizeable gate receipt each season from the sport, should not have such a reflection as apparently this one is. I believe always the head coach has generally determined about the equip-— Ree ee ee ee ee ee to have a finance comaittee meeting to pass upon the expenditure. - I saw inflation coming o, and I am sure you do. If I asked for two dozen basketballs I was sure thet they were needed and that they would cost the Athletic Association no extra money, but rather would be a saving. Kansas has always done on fewer basketballs than any of the rival Big Six schools. I make this statement positively and can support the statement with fact.

Dear Ernie: I just want to call your attention to the difficulties that we still have on the use of Hoch Auditorium floor. We never shot a goal on the floor until we played — Washburn last Friday night, and with the Christmas Vespers on now the only possible time we will have to use it will be the 18th, just before we play Rockhurst on the 19th. That makes a total of one day in our preparation for play- ing two games. Now isn't that something? I will be interested to see how many days we actually ‘get to - tice there during the year 1945 in preparation for our varsity games. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Bducation, FCA :AH : Varsity Basketball Coach. November 2, 1944. Mre EB. Co Quigley, Director of Athletics, University of Kansas. Dear Ernie: I desire to request thet the varsity basketball team be permitted to practice regularly on our playing court, namely, Hoch Auditoriun. As it now, we play on a semi-foreign court, and we are the only team in the Big Six Conference that is not permitted to practice on the court where we play our home games. I will greatly appreciate your cooperation. Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Bdiucation, | FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. Mr. BE. eC. Quigley, Athletic Director, University of Kansas. Dear Ernie: The basketball court in Hoch Auditorium is in deplorable condition. The ASTP having uset it for physical conditioning classes and the adminis- tration permitting a dance in there has rendered it totally wfit for _ varsity play. Our first game is December 8th. It will be nesessary to take that surface off and refinish it, for which the University should pay. Doubtless Mr. Raymond Nichols will have Mr. C. G Bayles do it, but it will take some emphatic pressure to get the job done so that we oan play. I recall one winter when we opened up our basketball season. The Chancellor had given permission to have a dance there in May for the state bankers. ‘The condition of the floor was promptly forgotten, and since they do not permit us to practice over there but two days a week we did not go over” on account of some conflicts which prohibited us from using those two days. We went over for the game end the team slipped and feli all over the floor. As I recall, it was the Oklahom game, and it was miserable. The Oklahoma people rather whispered that we had ee oe the floor ae te ee vantage of them. I only make this explanation to show you that a basketball floor not in playing condition is worse than any other playing field. I am sure that you will quite agree with me. May ws have your cooperation in getting this job done pronto? I wonder if I might mention the clock again. sia “gut ated taal he will come up during basketball with an unsynchronized pair of clocks. That always causes a peok of confusion and disaatisfaction to the visiting team's coach who wonders if the clock which we call official is ruming according to clock schedule. I believe you can also view this difficulty, having been en official for so many, many years, and getting the sidelight opinion of a dissatisfied coach who might be beaten.

Allen Robinson Gymnasium Lawrence, Kansas Dear Friend: And I mean FRIEND: Please accept my thanks for your very genuine interest in the "Stadium-Debt Plan" as evidenced by your attendance at the meeting here in Robinson Gymnasium last Saturday morning. From every angle I am receiving most enthusiastic revorts about the acceptance of the plan and I am quite sure that we will be rid of that "Strangle-hold" on our efforts before very many more moons. I am sure you can visualize what a nest-egg we might have, to further several progressive plans, if we could salt away, for our own use, just the item of interest per annum, ($5,250.00), instead of having to vay out that item each year. As I have told you, the obligation is now as of the current date, $113,000.00: $5,000.00 is to be paid each year until 1948, December lst, then the remainder of the principal, $93,000.00 is due. It will only take 1,527 $100.00 "F" Bond purchasers to clean the slate. The bonds must be "F" bonds--inscribed in the name of “The Kansas University Endowment Association", which is a corporation. This procedure enables the donor to deduct the amount of these "F" bonds purchased from his/her gross income for income tax purposes. From time to time there will be items of information sent to you from this office, and if there is any feature of this plan that you would want discussed further, please feel free to contact me either by mail, Western Union, or ‘phone: My office number is K.U. 82: If by Western Union, wire “Collect": If by long distance--reverse the charges.
