Mr. F. C. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen:

Some of the younger men of this community are very
anxious to have some applications from Kansas University graduates
for the position of coach in out High School here in Lincoln.

I was informed by one of the members of the school
board that they had asked for applications from graduates of The
University of Kansas and Kensas State; that they had received only
one application, and that they were not satisfied with it.

We have been overrun with coaches from smaller schools,
and we have never had a coach from one of the better institutions.
It has been our misfortune to have Kansas Weslyan coaches here from
time immemorial, and a good many of us hope that we have had the
last.

I am not a member of the school board, and I hope that
perhaps you have remembered me; if you have it would be unnecessary
to tell you that since I graduated from law school only last year.
With that explanation I might say that the customary pay here is not
great; I think thet they paid around fifteen hundred last year to an
experienced man.

I would appreciate any efforts you might make in an
effort to get us some immediate applications before our shhool board
since I think that they plan te hire a coach in the very near future.

Thank you for the courtesy requested, and I remain,

Sincerely yours,
