Mr. Forrest C. Allen,
Basketball Coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kan.

Dear "Phog":

I can assure you that it was a real pleasure to receive your fine
letter. I appreciate very much the recommendations you sent to me.
You have given me Just the type of information that I desire.

Our Director of Athletics, William A. Reid, is at present in Florida.
When he returns he will take up the matter of our basketball coaching
proposition, and will get in touch with the men in whom he thinks

he is interested.

I am very much impressed with the recommendation of Ray Parkins.

He must be a very fine basketball coach. I have had a recommendation
concerning him from a source in Minneapolis which I consider quite
reliable. I believe I have met the boy because I think he was in

one of my coaching schools in St. Paul in 1932. We are also interested
in Andrew McDonald. If you can furnish me any further information
concerning McDonald I shall be gled to have it. Confidentially will
you please furnish me his religious affiliations}

With kind personal regards and with many thanks for your good letter,
I an,

Sincerely yours,

::

Andrew Kerr
Football Coach
