We played for the League Championship in our final game, but lost by two points. Since then they have had two different coaches and naturally it has made it pretty tough on them, but they have always had a better than average team. They are all seniors now and four of them are making plans to go to College, and will probably choose between K, U. and Manhattan. ‘Two of them are about 6'2" tall, the other two are a little over 6'.

(Phog) Allen regarding some grading worke He mentioned that he would like very mich to have your son come to KU and make the basket~ball team. I was not asked to — write you but sitting here in the office today, — I came to the conclusion that I would like to have you know a dad's feeling toward Dre Allen. As you lmow, my boy Bill has been at KU four years. uring that time he participated in several forms of athletics under Allen and now has some class under hime One summer, BLll decided to go to summer school — end I lmow for no other reason than to be with Phog. . I have never heard Bill say anything but the best about Allen and I lmow he is a clean man in every ! et and that he does not havé any lad aroun him that 1¢ otherwise. You and I as dads naturally want our boys around such men. I feel sure that , should Jimay want to work at KU that he could get 35¢ an hour for what work he could do without jeopardizing his school work. You know that a boy at makes contacts that afterwerds helps him a great deal in life and business and I think that you will agree that KU has many, many outstanding craduates. I don't mow 1f Jim expects to play both football as well as basket ball but if he dees he is in for a hard ride at any school. I have always felt that if a boy plays basket ball and does the job well, he needs the other time for "bull sessions" with his friends. Phog - has any but championship teams and what boy doesn't want to belong to such an organization. However, every bo on that team mast ae studies first for as Saye “Doe Long before this, you kmow that I just sat i down to the typewriter and pecked out my thoughts a to you but the more I thought about your boy, the more I wanted to tell you 7 er in the matter.

I assure you we were happy to have you and that_you did very excellent work. I'm gied that you feel thet your stay at the oe of Kansas has been worthwhile. I'm happy that Warren Reigel will enroll this fall. I have written to Harold McSpadden and told him we would be gled to give him a job, but of course if “Prosty* wants to make him an offer that would lure him away, that's O.K. by mee I have never been enthusiastic about a boy that would change his Institution for a little better job. I have always found that a man that would sell his - academic birthright for a mess of pottage is short-sighted and is really selling himself short. Why would Harold need a much more lucrative Job than his older brother? ‘They both come from the same family and I see no reason why if a boy is offered a job that helps him through school, that he would have to ge to another school to get a little better job.

I will be a staunch booster of K. U. and hope that you will feel free to call upon me. I assure you I will be an “alum” you can count upon. I am working on all the likely pro- spects around here this summer. It looks very much as if Warren Reigel (football) will enroll in the fall. That should make .
