Sincerely CHIEF QUARTERBACK - | : peek 5 fo Aha nwhe di. a eo fase a7 an J asld eon ce De ae riteret - Unpncy Wall heey is le John Bs Carlson, attorney, counsellor and friend to youth, Rotarian and educator, but to us “Swede", a great athlete of an “ever=victorious" epoch, went on and made “All American" in life's strenuous competitions | GirLson came up the hard way, but the honest way. The son of a Swedish immigrant, this boy who carried a Kansas City Star route in Kansas City, Kensas, during his high school days, quit this hi gh school because his father advised him to marry and settle down early. The father argued that the income fran this lucrative newspaper route ws sufficient. He chose the alternative, John was a great catcher on his high school team. Withe out him the team was impotent. The firemen’ of Kansas City, Kansas, waited on John’s fether and persuaded him to allow John to return to high sohool to play on the high school team and incidentally to graduate. In the early days the fire stations turned out fine baseball teams and it was only naturel that the firenen would be interested in the success of John and his high school teams Tt was prophetic that a wreath from the Kensas City, Kansas, firemen occupied the central location at the bier showing the long and mutual affections The following year "Swede" matriculated at the University of Kansas where his fame as a baseball player far outshone his brilliance on the gridiron. It is rather significant of John Carlson that he always was in the center of things. In baseball he chose the position back of the plate, and on the football field he pleyed the roving center position. "No passed balls“ and “no player through his position” were two of his axioms for which he indefatigably fought, "Swede" Carlson had no peer on “20 the intercollegiate gridiron or on the diamong, Te made the "All Tine" team of eachs John Carlson played ball because he loved it. But in playing brilliantly he introdwed himself favorably to business end to society, After graduating from the Law School of the University of Kansas, John Carlson returned to his home city, Kansas City, Kansas, and began the practice of law. Years ago John told me the story of his first trial case in the Federal Court. John Carlson said, “My kmees were Imocking together and the Federal Judge ou tat 1 wae soared to Gehths iy head began 40 oulite Pine ally Judge Polliosk looked down fran over his glasses and seid, 'Go ahead, Swede, I've seen you play football lots of timest*” — "Gosh", said Swede, "that was all that I neoded! i tore into that case end won ite I've always remembered that incident and 1 have always tried to pass the word of encouragement on to youths" As president of the Board of Education of his home city, as Senator fron his district end as one of the key men of his comnomrealth, John Carlson ever justified the faith that men of ell creeds and color had in hime Youth loved him because he had en understanding sympathy with their profilems. He is not dead beonuse he lives in the hearts of youths «— Forrest Ce Allens Complete Line of Stationery and Office Supplies Office Furniture Mechanical Equipment and Repair Department Mimeographs Typewriters Adding Machines Check Writers Check Protectors Stapling Machines Large and Small Ete.; Ete:, Ete: Kodaks and Developing Gifts and Prizes Leather Goods Brief Cases Toilet Cases Playing Cards Poker Chips Score Pads Fountain Pens and Repairs Special Indexing and Filing Systems Shaw-Walker Filing Cases And Transfer Cases and Folders Exclusive Lines Eaton’s Berkshire Typewriter Papers Webster's Carbon Papers Sight Light Lamps Liberty Storage Files And Many Other Standard and Novelty Lines F.
