My dear Dr. Allen:
We are making plans for the fifth annual Morning-

gide coaching school, which is held under the direction
P@t the college at Iowa's summer resort at Spirit Lake,

located on Lake Okaboji. This school has enjoyed a
steady growth and real popularity among the coaches
attending.

In general, our arrangements with the visiting

faculty has been to give them a percentage of the

¥ gross reGeipts. In the past we have allowed one-
sixth of the receipts for basketball, and this has
amounted to slightly over $300 the last couple of
years. The college spends its share of the receipts
in promotion and advertising,aand we have thought
that it was fair for our faculty to gamble with us
on the amount of the cmegeoe to be taken ins I realize
that yet should’you be interested in the school and
before accepting any such proposition as that above,
that you would like to know who the other leaders on
the staff will be, because they would be the drawing
power of the school and make the school @&® success.
I am not able just now to tell you just who will
be head of football. Last year our féotball men were
Bible of Nebraska and Hauser of Minnesota, and
Piggie Lambert of Purdue was head of the basketball
group. We have been running our school six days, and
it will probably run from August 16 to August 21
next year. We have allotted five two-hour periods for
basketball, starting on Nonday and closing on Friday
afternoon. |

I would like to know whether: you would be interest-
ed in handling the basketball work at the school next
year.

Phe location of the school is very fine from the
standpoing of vacationing, and everyone enjoyschis
stay at Spirit Lake, and visiting salesmen and others
speak very well for the school from all viewpoints.
