Dear Phog:

I have your letter of the ninth
relative to C. C. Hardy who is an applicant
for the position of football coach in our
high school. I am glad to know your opinion
of Mr. Hardy because I know that you are ina
position to judge his ability while at the
University and I value your judgement highly.
However, we made a tentative offer to an
applicant last week before your letter came.
I might add that we have forty-seven applications
from which we will make our selection.

I am sending my son, Bob, down to
the University this fall. You will probably see him
as he likes basketball and was very faithful to the
game during his high school course, I don't kmow
that he will make the team but I do hope that he
has enough ability to make the squad as I would
like very much to have him come under your training
if -possible. He is a pretty good boy, even if this
is his father saying it. He was elected to the
national honor society this spring and has served
as advertising manager of the high school paper
during his senior year. He is only six feet tall
and that is rather short as the men on your teams
AVErPALe.

Thanking you for your letter concerning
Mr. Hardy and with kindest personal regards, I am,

Yours sincerely,
