WRITTEN FROM:

Dr. Forrest Ce. Allen,

Lawrence, Kansase

Dear "Phog "s:

This letter willeither be presented to you in person, or mailed to you along
with a letter of his own by Frederick 0. Littlefield, who last year captained
both Liberal high school's football and basketball teams, and who maintained

a four year scholastic average at Liberal high schoob of 90.09, which was sixth
highest in the entire graduating classe

Fred will not be 18 until January 28th, 1945 and should be able to finish his
entire first semester before military duty becomes possible, and with the
imminent collapse of Germany, he, of course, may not be called to alle

Frederick played left halfback and was rumner, passer and punter on last year's
liberal high school football team, which defeated the two outstanding teams in
this area, Dodge City by a score of 7 to 6, and Garden City by a score of 12 to
6e He made the game winning pass in the Dodge City game, and made a behind
tackle of Blickenstaff, the Garden City flash, which kept then from tying or
winning their game with use

Littlefield from a guard position scored 151 points in basketball, to be almost
as dangerous a high school scorer as Frosty Cox was on the old Newton clubs.
The Liberal team won the Western Kansas Regional Tournament at Garden City last
yeare Fred occupied the same kind of a quarterback role, your boy Milton did
at K.U.

Fred being a poor boy has not figured on going to college this year, but I have
been trying to persuade hime I know he would help K.U both in football and
basketball though, and he is also an accomplished musician, being both a pianist
and a trombonist, and was cmsidered sufficiently expert in musical lines he
Was assistant to the judges in last year Southwest Kansas musical contest herée

This is the first boy I've recanmended to you,Phog, since George McCormick; and
this boy is at least as good a prospect in both football and basketball as
George Was and a lot better scholar.

If there's anything you and Quigley can do fo éppreciate it.eKindest
regards, I remain,
