Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: We went to find a man to handle our football, basketball and physical education for the year 1944- 1945, I thought perhaps you might be able to help us locate a man who is not subject to the draft. We would be interested in a man that has had some success in the field or in.a ‘young man just starting out if he shows promise. JI know this is a pretty large order, but our last coach and physical education man is going into the navy this spring and this program is too im- portant to drop with out making every effort to find aman. We would also appreciate any information you may be able to give us concerning the salary required to attract a worth while man to this position. Thank Vou e v Very truly yours, Superintendent BAF:1r
