My dear Dr. Allen:

I was out of town when your telegram came and
it was several days before I received it. Anyway,
the basketball position had been filled before that
by Everett Nicholson from Arkansas City. I think he
is an excellent man. I am glad that Eddie Wood has
a good job selling cars. He is a good salesman and
deserves to succeed in that field. As you know,
Vanek is at North High School,so Wichita should pro-
duce some better basketball this year than heretofore.

I am most grateful to you for your interest and
wish I might have had one of the boys you had trained
in basketball, for I have great faith in your system.

Our big football boy, McEnulty, is attending
Wichita University. He tried to get a job in Lawrence
and not being able to,decided to take work down here
this year. He is an unusually fine fellow and a good
football player.

School has opened well here in Wichita with
slight increases in the high school and a great in-
crease in interest in athletics. I think we will
do better, at least I hope so.

With best wishes for a splendid Yemt-at K.U.,
I am

Very truly yours,
