Allen Director of Physical Education Varsity Basket Ball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc; Received your letter yesterday and I have already written Bratus and will write to Glemn today. In our conversation over the phone, you mentioned that Smokey Joe Wood was baseball coach at Yale and that you knew him. I thought teed that name sounded familiar to me, so I wrote my mother about it and she replied that Smokey Joe Wood's father | and her father--my Grandfather Wells--are first cousins. Smokey Joe attended the same grade school in Pike County Pennsylvania as did my mother. While this may not have any bearing toward securing the job, it may be a means of contacting Smokey Joe Wood and securing some infor- mation through him, We were very happy to read of Kansas' victory over Kansas State, then Nebraska had to come along and take all the joy out of life. We wish you and the team the best of luck against Missouri and Kansas State this wesk.

Allen Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr, Allens I received my Geography grade today and am’ quite disgusted as I received an F in the course, Dr, Allen, I feel as though I did not get a square deal. My Professor was Mr. Posey. I feel certain I deserved a better grade than I received. I didn't cut at all. I turned in all my weekly reports on time. I received an F on my mid-semester quiz and a 76 on my last quiz before finals. In this quiz the class average was 79. Dr.'Allen, I studied hard for both of these examinations, but I could not get a beiter grade from Mr, Posey. JI had a talk with Mr. Posey and he said the final would count about two thirds. I studied exceptionally hard for the final and I re-read the textbook. I took the final md I felt, after the final, that I wrote at least a B final. I still feel that way about it. Is there anything or anybody that I can write, see, or that can help me in any way? I would like to see my final examination paper or have it re-graded as I feel certrin that my final was at least a B, Many of the other students told me never to wear a numeral, or K sweater as Mr. Posey would flunk and did flunk anyone who went out for athletics as he didn't like athletes. I feel certain that my low grades on the quizzes and my flunk in the course is absolutely personal on the part of Mr. Posey. Is there anything that I can do? I have never flunked any- thing in my life and Passed Accounting and French and courses like that and I a@fead being flunked in a course without a fighting chance. IF I can't do anything else could I take this course by correspondence this summer? TI know well that that I can pass a final in this course at present without any trouble. Dr. Alien, I would certainly appreciate anything you could do for me, or any information you could give me as to what @& procedure I should take, Sincerely yours, ick Kruucett BADMINTON EXHIBITION Attention!
