Mre Louis Helvern

Dear Louis:

: | I have learned of the resignation of Coach Charles Socolofsky,
the former Aggie athlete, who is to accept the position at ianhattane

We have several very excellent physical education majors who
are seniors this year and who are desirous of being placed in some
good Kansas high schools |

: Doubtless you are cognizant of the fact that Kansas State
organized their Physical Edueation program (School of Coaching)

seven years before we got started, due to the fact that some of

our administrators were not sold on this type of organizations therefore,
the Agzies have had seven years start in placing their key-men

in fine positions. :

I thought of writing Walker Means, Ewing Herbert, Jre and
Hall Bailey, but since you had shown more of an active interest
in athletics than the other men, I have turned to you as head of
the Departuent to give me information on the possible successor

Is the Board of Education friendly to a University of Kansas
graduate? If so, we believe that with our ever increasing efficiency _
among our physical education majors that we are in a position to offer
you some excellent applicanise

| I am thinking of Ed Hall, fullback in Varsity Football and
Guard in Varsity Basketball, but I do not believe he can finish in
times however, we have John Burge, end on the football team and a
piteher on the baseball teams then we have Steve Meade, a guard on
the footbell team who is e brilifiant student and a wonderful teachere
Also we have Charles Dalrymple, who is an allearound athlete and a
fine teachers .

I will appreciate & letter from you et your early convenience
Giving me the information we desiree | |

With all good wishes, lem,
Sincerely yours,

3 Director of Physical Education and Recreation
POAsig Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
