Gosh, but you are a handsome devil! We are putting in the announcement as you have suggested. Unfortunately, this will be our last issue this spring and we will not be able to follow it up before your school, but feel free to use our mailing list and let us help you in any way we can. We have 30,000 names of coaches on stencils, Ns. 859 in Kansas - 895 in Missouri - 668 in Nebraska - 725 in Oklahoma - 1478 in Ohio - every state in proportion, so you can see that our coverage is pretty complete and we hope the first announcement will do a lot of good. However, if you want to follow this up with direct mailing, we would be glad to address your envelopes here for you, or do anything else we can to help. Really, Phog, I am not in position to advise regarding cost of a course, as I have not become acquainted with comparative prices on this and I really am not in a position to know much about it, but I do think you should charge enough to keep out the loafers and get in only those serious mindéd people who really want to learn. By the way, if it is at all possible I want to enroll Bill in your class this summer, aS I believe he could learn more during this class than he would get during a year at college. Of course, a lot depends on how busy we are at the time.

These, however, are just for proof purposes and not to be mailed. The printer starts at noon today and I have time to make change as you suggest.

G. Lind hee ee { | q q ¢ Dear Dr Allens By April 5 we shall know whether the Phog Allen clinic will be held at Wittenberg College this summer(by Prudential committee action). I know that you will want to know, and I feel like I have been a slow corresponcent to an anxious entrepreneur, but the facts are these definitely: this section of the country and these industrial towns are down in the mouth; I , for instancd,for the first time since 1923 am not teaching at night in our junior college in Dayton because the students can't buy books and pay tuition. Of course, we shall want success to follow the name of Allen everywhere, and neither you nor I will wish to embark on anything which which does not presage success. UNDERSTAND, I have the time to do this work for you, and I have always been delighted to be associated with you, and I have been thinking hard on the whole plan. There is a possibility of catching a number of coaches who do not feel like doing tem or twelve weeks of graduate study this summer, but who feel that they ought to make some show of interest in self-improvement. Of course, I shall not announce anything about the school until you are satisfied to take the risk. I will need 25 percent of the proceeds abové expenses, and the matter of expenses is important toe FCA: none to FCA for occupancy of any buildings or terrain, but much for postage and illustrative materials. My rough guess is that we will need $400 for poth. that is lew because we have used $300 for a band clinic here at Wittenberg(June 20- July 2), andwe circuldized only 2000 persons It looks like we must have 40 students at $25 each to assure you $450 for your steady lecture and demonstration work. All above 40 Students would be most welcome, from the Wittenberg News Bureau, Springfield, O., K. G. Lind Now for some questions: How soon in June we you available? Do you have cuts from your basketball book which we can use to save engraving expenses? Do. you have a signature cut, as large(preferably lar ger’ than}syour regular J.Hancock? If you don't have cuts, do you have the photographs? I need some that actually show} work of taping,bandaging, etc. De you have definite suggestions as to dates?
