Mr. Willian Witmer,
Bartlesville College High,
Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

Dear William:

A few weeks ago Joe Bailey was up with an injured
shoulder. oe Sots me of your Sine scafento aut at
asked that I write you.

I am not particularly interested in athletes who ere
not outstanding students. The pay off is not during college
days, but after a fellow graduates and gets out into the
world where he measures his mental and social powers with the
leaders.

I imagine that you will soon be going into one of the
armed services, and if you are of course we would be happy
to see you here at the University of Kansas. Joe tells m
that you are a left half in feotball and a guard on the

' Dasketball team.

Will you please tell Troy White that if his knee is
bothering him again if he wants to come up I will be glad
to endeavor to repair it again.

With all good wishes to you and to Joe Bailey, I am

Sineerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
