Dear Dons

| I was glad to hear that you are planning to attend K.U,
: next fall. I hope that the old ticker is fine and that you need
not ~— on that score. @
Coach George Sauer and his assistants have a very fine
leoking squad of football prospects for this fall, The backfield
is particularly well manned with about twenty good backs, I
would suggest that you plan to concentrate on becoming a line+
man this fall, |

The rooming situation is very difficult, There are to
be some rooms available near. ‘the ¢eampus in some emergency housing,
but rooms in private homes are practically noneexisting. 1 am
turning your letter over to Coach Sever and hope that he can solve
this problem'for you as Khave no angles where I think I could help
you find a rooms.

Sauer is way on his vacation at the present time, eat he
should be back in about a weeke You will no doubt hear from him
after he returnse There are a few boys who will probably live in
the stadium and a few others in the gymnasium, Possibly a room
in one of these areas might be reserved for you, We are expect=
ing an enrollment of mene sy 8,000 and you can see how crowded we
will be.

Very sincerely yours,
