Dear Mr. Allen:

Although you and I have never met, I have kept in close
eS touch with the University. I am a reader of the Central

i Christian Advocate and sometime ago noted an articie in there
concerning your work in the Methodist *hurch at Lawrence. Be-
cause of that article more than for any other reason I feel

I can say some things to you that I could not otherwise.

We are very apt to be needing a new coach for football and
basketball next year. This is not final but I am writing to
you to determine what you may have to say concerning a first-
class applicant. ‘Ye have two splendid men in our system here
now and they have been offered contracts to return, but I be-
lieve my football coach will be signing up elsewhere. He has

one or two good opportunities at this time, but as I say, an
opening has not definitely occured as yet. For sometime this
school and community has wanted a first-class coach from K. U.
I am wondering if you have such a prospect. If so; please hand
him the enclosed application blank. First of all; we wanta
man of Christian character and principles. No smoker need ap-
ply. We feel that our coach, above all other persons on the
Faculty, has an opportunity for character building and for that
reason we want the very best in this position, and naturally they
2 must have the goods when it comes to football and basketball.

 

We are willing to take an inexperienced man if he has the
personality and make-up that you consider necessary to make good
in a big way. We appreciate any favor that you may give us in |
the way of time and ee to place the proper applicant-in con-

nection with us.
