Dear. Mr. Davie:

Your communication addressed to the Chancellor of the
University of Kansas hes been handed to me for reply.

Ray Evans was inducted into the United Stetes Army on
Merch 6th. He is now at Port Leavenworth, Kansas. He was
in the ERC end was able to finish the basketball season,
going over to Leavenworth efter the game. I am answering
the questions that you perbaps desires regarding Rey Evans.

You are exactly right when you presume that Ray person-~
ally abstains from all forms of alcoholic beverages, nar-
cotica and the like. He does not use tobaces in any form, -
nor any type of alcoholic beverage. He is a perfect trainer,
a@ very modest chap and a man of exceptional mortal and physical
powers. He is by far the most popular man on the campus at the
University of Kansas and has made both the all-American foot-
ball and basketball selections. I have had the pleasure of
coaching him for two years and have never had a finef boy on
any athletic team.

it is a great pleasure for me to make this testimonial for
Rays

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Fducation,
POA:AH : Varsity Basketball Coach.
