Phog Packs Many Stories Into His Latest Sports Book
"Coach Phog Allen's Sports Stories," by Dr. Forrest "Phog" Allen.
Published by Allen Press, $3.
Published by Allen Press, $3.
"Coach Phog Allen's Sports Stories" is one of those rare items that is worth the money you pay for it—$3. The book is a collection of sport stories that are funny, sad, interesting, and all abounding with facts and authority.
Famous Phog must have an amazing memory because his repertoire of stories jumps from 1910 to 1946 and the sport subjects are equally diversified. Doctor Allen discusses football, basketball, coaches, conditioning of athletes, the evils of smoking, the need for an inter collegiate athletic "czar," the strategy of coaching, and a dozen other tonics.
Author Has Long Memory
At times the author seems to be stretching a point to emphasize his memory capacity. He goes into great detail in explaining factors that turned an apparent basketball or football defeat into a smashing Kansas victory.
There is no apparent pattern to the book. The basketball stories are intermingled with the football and celebrity stories. Scattered throughout the book are short sketches of such sport notables as Warner, Rocke, Lonborg, and Ernie Quigley. Also, Allen discusses dozens of University sports stars that he has coached.
The informal style employed makes the reader feel that he has been privileged to set in the dressing room with the famous coach and the players. You get the feeling that you know a little more about Quig, Rock, and Pop Warner after reading Allen's stories about them.
Clinches are numerous in the book, but seldom do they detract from what Allen is saying. He gives a Gene Tunney type talk on the evils of smoking that is one-sided and leaves the weed-bound reader feeling insecure because he enjoys a smoke.
Allen Wants Sports Czar
One of the most thought provoking chapters deals with the need for a "czar" to preside over collegiate sportsdome. Phog states the case for the "czar" in a convincing manner and this section should provide sideline quarterbacks with plenty of debate material when a sports lull prevails.
The book is up to date in every respect. There are short sections devoted to Ray Evans, Paul Turner, and Charlie Black. Readers won't have to go back into antiquity to recognize others Allen refers to. He sketches the success and failures of his 1943 and 1946 cagers, who were undefeated in conference play.
Paul Turner's sketch could have been longer since it is a story of a remarkable sport's fete and is more than many of the longer stories in the book.
A smart and colorful jacket adds eye appeal to the book. It was designed by Harold Sandy, College sophomore. Twenty chuckleful cartoons by Dick "LMOC" Bibler and 23 well chosen photographs liven up

Here's A Squirrel That Got In Dutch
Ithaca. N. Y.—(UP)—When the Ithaca Journal published a story about a gray squirrel which took over the rooms vacated by a family of bees, it had no idea the account would become popular with Dutch school children.
A copy of the paper found its way abroad and a young school friend wrote to the factual-thought-fanlike story, translated it into Dutch for her pupils.
Children of Holland are now hearing and reading of Ithaca's gray squirrel which found an apartment in the bee-deserted locust tree across the street from Red Cross headquarters.
