INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

August 9, 1938.

Dr. F.C."Phog" Allen,
Basketball coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kanse

Dear Coach:

 

About the only man who is really competent to

do those basketball reviews for you is a fellow
you might not like very well personally--Art
Edson, of the Daily O,lahoman sports staff.
However if you would ask him, I imagine Art would
be glad to do them. The Oklahoman sent him all
over the state to cover those particular leagues
last year, and he has all the statistics etc.

As alternate, but not nearly as well qualified,
I would suggest Porter Routh, publicity director
of Oklahoma 3aptist university, ooks Bick-
nell, sports editor of the Alva, Okla. Record.

I believe Bicknell would tackle the job with
more enthusiasm than anybody and his club, the
Alva Rengers(remember Bonnie Stewart, their old:
forward? I never saw a finer player than him)
were either first or second,

Sincerely yours,

conference,

Lawrence, Saensas.

Dear Dr.Allen:

I know this review is a flop, but I have searched the files for
reasonably good copy on the season, and haven't found mech

worth writing about.I know the Kansas conference had a good season,
even race, etc., but I have forgotten all of it.In fact I don't

watch the race as closely as I did when Washburn played in the circuit,
put st4ll I think I could have done better had 1 been told of it

in Marche

Of course I realize you can't know just what you want in the
middle of the summer by March, but really, this is a tough assignment ~
after the stuff gets cold. : =

_I've been perfectly frank and honest with you about it, and am ashamed
to be so no good spd gc Bete in replying, but you caught me right in
the middle of ali this summer stuff.In addition to my work on the
paper I'm managing the American Legion Junior baseball team sponsored
by the Lions club, of which I am @ member, and then, too, this town
has gone nuts on softball, and I've been snowed under with
overseeing it.Incidentally, Don H.Pierce, who will be on the KU
versity grid squad this year, has been helping me with softball and
doing a great job.I went to Bartlesville for the Regional American
Legion junior baseball tournament, end have done several other thingse

On top of that I've been trying to get more rest this summer,.1I went
to Mayo's at Rochester, Minn., in April.They gave me explicit direc-
tions to slow down a bit, get more rest and gain back my weight.

I feel the trip up there was worth thousands to my health. I'm
feeling better, have gained 12 pounds since they treated and advised
me, and life really seems more livable than it has for some years.

You may not be able to use this stuff at all.But it just seems I
can't do any better right now. Again I apologize and really hope I
can do better next time.Please excuse the stationery, as I :
am hurrying thru this to get some copy handied for Saturdey paper.
Would like to have you drop in for a visit when you come to Topeka.
You know, I still consider you a fine friend of mine, end like you,
even tho there were groups trying to crucify you. , |

With kindest personal regards, I am,

Sincerely,

Carlos E.Hobbs

Mr. Forrest C, Allen,

Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr, Allen,

A thousand apologies for the delay in sending this
basketball information to you, I've been waiting for Andy McDonald
to look up some individual scoring statistics, which he never did
find, and also trying to get the Springfield ball club on the road
so I could find a breathing spell, |

I hope this is about what you want. Frankly, the request
caught me by surprise and I had to do some research work, Next year
I'll be ready for it when the time comes,

If I have left out any essentialsy let me know and I'll
try to provide them, I doubt, however, if we'll be able to get the

individual scorers now, since they seem to have been lost somewhere,

R. B. WHITE NEWCOMB CARLTON J.C. WILLEVER
PRESIDENT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD FIRST VICE-PRESIDENT

Saturday--

Dear Phog:I hate to fail you butthere hs any other way oute I have no
material from which to write the basketball and I did such a poor job last year
from no available statistics that I simply don't want to repeat that failure
againg

I couldn't do the tm sketball story justice.I was away all of January
and therefpre didn't follow the play and kept no records when I got  &.eIt'!s
different in football when I follow each week!s play ,see one of the games and
keep the record of all othe is e

I'm wondering why you don't make a play--and I'm hess a it-=--to

Harold Keith at Norman,ask him to write the story for youeI would almost
guarantee that he whihld do an impa@ fhal and swell job of it.Or would you
prefer that I ask him to do it for me.Seems t@ me it would be a diplomatic
stroke for you to ask him, saying if you wish that I suggestodit Hots a fir
boy,a fine writer,follows the race closely and I believe would do you a good

jobe

I hate likell failing you but I dimply can't toe the mark.

Wish you all could come by and see the Garden and uses somp tine ¢

Best and:
