Dear Superintendent Fitzgerald:

I am happy to advise you that we have a young man, George
Dick, who is honor captain of our football team, now a member of our
varsity baskethall team, and a major in Physical Education. He is
graduating this year.

George Dick is a fine, clean, personable and energetic
young man. Last Maroh Sth he was inducted as one of our basketball
playets in the Army at Ft. Leavenworth. He served until this past
September when he was discharged on account of an injured knee that
he sustained in Army maneuvers. He returned to the University this
fall to finish hie academic work for nis degree. He will complete
his work this spring and will, I believe, be in a position to accept
@ position for next fall. lie is 24 years of age, very mature and
very dependable. He is now coaching the University High School
basketball team as a part of his practice teaching.

You could do no better if you are interested in this young
mane He ig a high grade young chap inevery respect and I recommend
him to you without reservation. In my opinion he should command a
very good salary because he is not the accidental type of teacher nor
& youngster just getting out. While he is no great bargainer, he does
realize that there will be muy coaching jobs open to him this coming
fall. I will be happy to have him get in touch with you if you so

Very sineverely yours,

. Director of Physical Bducation,
FOA: AH 3 Varsity Basketball Coach.
