University ot Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Doc": According to Last night's paper, Coach Stalcup was nired as the new basketball coach at the University ot Missouri. No doubt that has left a vacancy at Warrensburg Teachers, I'm wondering if you can tell me tne name of the person with wnom I could file an applie cation for this position. It seems to me that this would be a very desirable position. I feel that I nave had the background, training and experience to make me capabie of handling this job. "Doc" here's wishing you the best of luck against the Aggies in Kansas City. I surely hope you knock that outfit off. We'll be think- ing of you on that night. We hate to miss the game, but we're really glad that you are playing in Kansas City instead of Oklahoma City. Sincerely, Bo Ernest J. Vanek Lte (jg) USNR x J ie —_ i 7 3 +S ~ = ene nen .
