Dear Dr. Allen:

After receiving your letter of January 24 relative
to the conduct of John Buescher, I wrote him a
"Stinger" of a letter. Also, I had a heart to
heart talk with his dear mother and she too wrote
him yesterday along the same line.

Mrs. Buescher, as you know, is sacrificing person-
ally to put her son in a better position in later
life to achieve every mother's goal,--success.

Last summer I was very careful to watch the personal
habits of John Buescher and found them to be clean,
and his thoughts along the same line. It appears to
me that too much newspaper publicity and campus
heroism has gone to this Dutchman's head. Perhaps
when the balloon is punctured he will wake up only
to find it too late to own and become the wearer of
a Kansas "Kk",

Please write me if you think there is anything I
might do to better John's condition in Lawrence.

You and Mrs. Allen, Eleanore, and Robert have proba-
bly done more for this Kansas sophomore than any ©
other athlete ever entering your university. Worse
still I personally recommended him to you as a
clean, upright boy worthy of an education and coach-
ing suéh as both you and the University of Kansas
have afforded him during the past three semesters.

I believe you know me well enough to know that I
wouldn't have returned him to your campus if his
habits and mental conditions were @s they are today.
Incidentally, his mother couldn't understand either
and she and Junior have been very close.

Again, keep me posted on John's progress or decline.
