Dear" Doc!

 
 

Just a word about the Topeka job, I have not heard
much from the Topeka officials. I guess they decided on just
a Physical Education man, or they might have left Coach Weaver
wath basketball for another year. At the Physical Education ze
Convention he told me that he would like to keep it one more
year. He hated to let it go with such an unsuccessful season.
I don't blame him a bit for wanting to keep it.

  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
 
    

 

I should be well satisfied with my Wichita job. But
it surely does not hurt to investigate such an opportunity.
oe I do want to make a better record this coming winter then I >
ae made last year. Practically my whole "A" squad graduated, but
oe the "B" squad was composed mostly of Soph. and they did not look
bad in Spring practice.

Now I will try to give you a complete account of Lester —
Layton. He was one of my boys. The night we saw you at the Lasse!
Hotel before the series I told you about him, but you had so many >
things on your mind I imagine you soon forgot about him, I also —
introduced him to you the day you spoke at our high school assemb

 
     
 

Layton is about 6'1" tall, weighs around 165 pounds.
was about a "B" student in high school. His plans are to take
engineering. His father works for the Beechcraft Airplane Co.
Wichita. I have talked to his folks several times about K.U. |
Dad favored it very much and said he would be able to help him
but that Lester would have to have a job of some kind. When I
Wichita he was planning om K.U. I told him to be sure and get
touch with you, and that I was quite sure he would not have to

worry about getting lined up with a job.
