J. F. WELLEMEYER PRINCIPAL WYANDOTTE HIGH SCHOOL 257TH AND MINNESOTA AVENUE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Dec. 17, 1942 Dr. F. C. Allen Director of Physical Ed. Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Thank you for inviting us over last Saturday. We had postponed our meeting until that date so we were unable to come. We had about sixty people here and hope we did justice to the problems involved. At least there seemed to be a great deal of interest. Personally, however, I feel the program will fall short of its goal in many places due to lack of "teeth" in the whole effort. As a State we are still a long way from "home base". On the other hand we have come a long way. We would be glad to hear of your meeting if you have time. Lots of luck with your ball team. wy CABLE ADDRESS "FOSKIM" ELKHART FOSTER DIVISION ELKHART, INDIANA FASTERMATICS-TURRET LATHES SCREW MACHINES DOUBLE YOUR CUTS FOSIER_ DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS Dr. Forreet C, Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kans.
