Head Basketball Coach

Dear Dr, Allen:

As you are probably aware, for the first time in several years
the American Association for Health, Physical Education and
Recreation will hold its annual convention in San Francisco
during the week of April 3 to 6, 1939.

It happens that I am the chairman of the men’s athletic
section meetings for the coming convention.

The purpose of this letter is to enquire from you if you would
be willing to appear as a speaker at one of the sessions of the
men's athletic section, for this convention. Your long and
successful service in the capacity of basketball coach, member
of the National Rules committee, and your intimate knowledge

of the game in the physical education program would make any
presentation you might care to make very valuable I am sure.

It is not possible at this present time to give you the exact
time and place of the meeting, nor will it be possible for the
Association to pay any expenses. “Nevertheless, because we feel
you have a great interest in the promotion of our professional
work I am taking the liberty of asking you to make us a
presentation even though we are not in any position to offer an
honorarium or expenses.’

Hoping to have your tentative acceptance at least, in the very
near future, I am

Very truly yours,

 
 
  

Paul R.’Washke
Professor of Physical Education.
