My dear Dr. Allen:

I have your letter this morning. I am pleased
to report that plans for our coaching school are
progressing nicely. Our football staff will be
headec by Noble Kiger, who will bring one or two of
his assistant coaches with him for special demonstra-
tion. We will also use Coach Frank Leahy of Fordham
for two or three lectures on position play in the
line. We will have a rather prominent track coach
for two lectures on his specialty. Last year we
used four prominent high school coaches from this
section for one lecture each in which they discussed
problems of high school coaches. We plan to con-
tinue this next summer as it was very well! received.

We plan to have you give five two-hour lectures
on basketball. In adcition to all the above, we
have three evening meetings, one of a social “nature,
another devoted to athletic moving pictures, and
the thirc of a more general nature, including rules
and ‘round table discussion. This program completely
fills the available time with the excéption of two
evenings. We have found from experience that part
of the attractiveness of the school located as it
is at @ summer resort is the attractions for fun and
amusements in and around Spirit Lake, and we think
.it necessary to leave some time open for this
purpose. Our school starts Monday morning, August
16, and closes Saturday noon, August 21, really
running five cays and one-half.

I am sorry if my letter gave the impression
that I did not feel the importance and sense the
interest that would be shown in lectures by yourself
on athletic injuries. I am sure that all of us would
find them extremely profitable and very enjoyable.
