Lawrence sports reform seen as curb on delinquency
President Eisenhower talked with sports figures including Wes Santee about boosting youth participation to reduce delinquency. Lawrence programs are strong in summer baseball but weak in youth basketball due to unavailable gyms and resistance from officials. Local coaches and parents advocate organized junior leagues and clinics to build basketball skills earlier, countering spectatorship and idle time.
