My reason for asking you to send me one direct is because of the fact that I would like to have you autograph the book for me. As 1 have a number of friends and professional associates who have written books in the field of athletics and physical education I am anxious to have an autographed copy of your latest book. in the way of reintroducing myself to you, I started taking coaching courses from you way back in the days when you were conducting schools at Kearney, Nebraska. At that time I was coaching in Iowa, later I went to Peru Teachers College as Director of Athletics. This past year I taught on a fellowship in the physical education department at the University of Southern California while on a leave of absence from my position at Peru Teachers College. Now I am located here in Riverside, California, and am teaching physical education and coaching in the junior college, I think the last time I talked to you Was during the coaching _ school at Spirit Lake, and during that time we discussed your new book, for you had just returned from the publishers. You may send the book collect as I do not know how much the postage will be. I will appreciate very much anything that you may write in the book, and thank you for the same. I am looking forward to seeing some interesting basketball this coming season here on the coast. Of course, it is not the basketball we play in the mid-west; that I have discovered already. With best wishes, and may you have a great season this year. hen. , | Glenn Gilkeson Decenber 5, 19396 Mre Clayton Schlemmer, 804 Silvercrest Avenue, Alron, Ohioe Dear Clayton: It was a pleasure to receive your note after I returned hane from Cleveland.
