My Dear Dr. Allen:

I enjoyed seeing you again last Saturday and although the
football game was a little one-sided nevertheless it was interest-
ing and I believe K.U. will have a good team in the Big Six
Conference this year.

I have been thinking over our conversation of Saturday
concerning my having earned a letter while at K.U. and pefore
writing Karl Schlademann I thought I would write to you and see
if you could have someone check the athletic records from 1923
through 1926 to see if in your opinion I am deserving of a letter.

Upon entering K.U. as a freshman in 1923 I played freshman
football under John Bunn and was awarded a numeral, and was
invited back for varsity competition in 1924 under Potsy Clark.

I was on the freshman track team under Schlademann and made a
numeral in track, participating in the broad jump and quarter
mile rune ;

During the 1924 football season as I remember I played a few
minutes in the following games, Washingbdoén U. of St. Louis,
Nebraska, Oklahoma or Kansas Aggies, and Missouri, and also made
all of the trips with the squad. I did about the same in the 1925
season, and in 1926.

In track in 1924 I made all of the trips including the indoor
meet at K.C., and the Drake Relays. I took part in several meets
but do not recall whether I won any points for K.U. that year. In
either the 1925 or 1926 track season I am sure I won several points
for the team. I believe it was in the 1925 season that I ran on
the mile relay team in Big-Six competition when we won several
races. Against Kansas Aggies we won the-mile relay, and I bpeltéve ith
was either against Missouri or Nebraska that we won another. Zi
believe I picked up a fourth or two in the broad-jump that season
but am not sure as it might have been the following season. I made
all trips with the track squad in 1924, 25 and 26.

After checking the records I will appreciate your frank opinion
as to whether or not I have any case for a letter and will be
pleased to govern myself accordingly. If you decide favorably I will
be glad to contact Schlademann and Clark or carry out wmother suge-

estions you may care to m&ke. | oy
