lawrence, Kansas, Jan. 2, 19392 Dr. F.C. Allen Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: The Pinckney boys are anxious to play basketball again this year. We are in need of a young man who might be interested in coaching several teams twice a week, at least, after school at 3:40 o'clock. I feel you might have some one in your department who would like to do this for experience. Last year Louis Thompson helped us several . times and I know the boys gained so much from this experience. | I know that you are very busy at this time and I do not want you to go to a lot of trouble but if you do know of such a person his help will be greatly appreciated at Pinckney. Thanking you in advance for any help you may send. fs erely, Opal Wat lad 7 — Pinckney School eee Lawrence as Laurence Public Schools Lawrence, Kansas Laurence Public Schools Lawrence, Kansas Lawrence Public Schools Lawrence, Kansas Jammry 19, 19396 Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coache COPY Cordley School Jamary 16, 1939 Dre Forrest Allen, University of Kansas.
