5336 Norwood Road Kansas City, Kansas September 11, 1945 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: As you prubekls remember, I stepped out of ny coaching job at Wyandotte High School at the beginning of the war and went into industry. Financially, I am better off than if I had stayed in the teaching game, but I always felt that the time would come when the defense job would be finished and I would be forced to go elsewhere. 7 I am at that cross-road right now. Without a. P.H.D., I can't find whet I want in industry. Down deep in uy heart, I want to get back into coaching. I have been wondering whether it would ever be possible to do some coaching at a University while studying for that advanced degree. If you should hear of ieee @ ‘combination, or if you should hear of any good school that needs a basket- ball coach, I would surely appreciate hearing from you. I still think I can do the job. you ‘ wish, the best of luck in the coming season Very eae. with your team.
