Varsity Basketball Coach,
University of Kansas, —
Lawrence, Kansas.

pear Dr, Alpen:

It is very likely that we will need a new
coach for all sports next year. We have felt
that your numerous contacts with many good
young coaches would qualify you to make some
excellent nominations for this position. We
would appreciate the favor very much if you
would list for us the coaches that you feel
are qualified and would do us a good job.

They would need to be qualified to teach the
social sciences. The position would likely
pey from $1200 to $1500 depending on the
training and experience. Would Hd Hall or
Gordon Grey be interested in this position?

If so, whet is your opinion of these two boys?

For the present we prefer that this
information be held in strict confidence. We
would rather that mothing be said to the.
placement bureau or to the boys. Our Board
does not wish to take formal action until
after the close of our basketball season, In
the meantime they would like to carry on some
rather informal investigations of possible
candidates.

Personally, I would favor boys who have
had some successful experience. By this I mean
ones who have really been able to get the best
from the material on hand regardless of the
percentage of wins,

With very kind personal regards, I am

MMH /el _- Yours very truly,
