Dear Dr. Allen:

The University of Denver is exploring possible
candidates for the head coaching position for the academic
year of 1944-45. Mr. Cliff Rock is among those whom we are
considering as a possibility for this assignment. I would be
grateful if you will give me your frank opinion concerning
Mr. Rock in regard to the following points:

le His probable ability to assume the head coaching
responsibility in football and basketball, with
the possibility of track and baseball, from the
point of view of qualities of leadership and ability
to inspire young men to work effectively together.

General knowledge and skill in relation to the
coaching profession.

Ability to cooperate with other members of the
athletic staff, the faculty, and the administrative
officers.

Personal qualities, such as habits, attitudes,
personal appearance, and impressions made on the
community outside of the institution.
Any other suggestion which you think pertinent to
consider in the selection of a person for the position
of head coach of intercollegiate athletics.

Thanking you for your cooperation, 1 am,

Sincerely yours,
