Dear Dr. Allen:

I was pleased to receive your letter of the
16th, and evidently you did not understand:my suggestion
concerning young Grutzmacher. I know Charles very well,
but I did not mean that he would be interested in foot-
ball. It is his younger brother, Kirke Grutzmacher, who
is a Senior in the Onaga, Kansas high school, of whom I
was telling you, and whom I would like to see enter K.U,
this next fall. He weighs about 185 lbs., has played
tackle for four years in high school, and unless I am no
Judge of football players, will make somebody a mighty
nice athlete. He does not need any financial assistance,
which makes him doubly attractive to us, or to any other
school.

I thoroughly enjoyed our visit in Ipwa City,
and it was a pleasure to entertain you and the boys, and
hope I shall have that opportunity again in the future.
The game was one of the roughest I have seen in years, but
it gave me a lot of satisfaction to see us come out on the
long end of the score. Knowing how you can bring a team
along, and show improvement from game to game, where lots
of other coaches start out a season well, but seem to slide
back as the season advances, I still think you have a wonder-
ful chance to win the Big Six title again this year. I am
sure you enjoyed turnirg the tables on Iowa State at Lawrence
recently, and by such a convincing margin.

I saw Clarence McGuire in Chicago this last
week, as well as Bill Rice, and both were looking fine.
Bill told me you delivered my greetings to him, and I was
very pleased to know that you remembered it.

Wishing you continued success, and with
kindest regerds, I am

 

Don Isett
