HARRISON BROTHERS, AGENTS DOWNS, KANSAS May 24, 1940. Dr. Forrest C, Allen, Director Dep't. of Physical Education, University of Kansas. Lawrence, Kansas, Dear "Phog,." :- I am enclosing a letter from Emmett Kissell concerning his son Max who is still undecided as to where he will attend School next Fall. I thought you might write Emmett and give himz some helpful information, Max is in Topeka working this Summer and it should.be easy to contact him and talk to him some time. His address is 1409 Eden Court Topeka, Kansas. I believe he is working for the State. I have not written you so very much about this boy or rather not nearly as much as I wrote about Vance Hall but he is a mighty fine chap and has the makings of a valuable athlete for some College or University. He is the kind of a boy you like and one you would enjoy working with. There is no question in my mind that he would have made a star on any Class A High School Basketball Team in Kansas had he been in a large School. He is smart, a good student, a good boy in all respects, and would take to Coaching well as he doesn't think he knows it all. His high scoring the past Season was not all he did as he plays the whole game as did Vance, If he is tied up. by two or more guards he feeds accurately and keeps his team scoring by setting up plays that can't miss. He thinks a lot of Vance and perhaps he could help get him to enroll at KU. I understand Vance called on him when out here last but haven't talked to Vance since to get Max's reaction. If I can be of any help from this end let me know as I have been working on Max and Emmett and even have talked to Mrs. Kissell several times trying to get the _ to go to KU. We all enjoyed having you with us the other evening and you certainly would make a good second story man should Coaching ever give out. Helen said she was awake a part of the time you were getting up but couldn't hear any noise and didn't wake me until after you had gone. Come out again and remember if you are ever in this territory or location we will enjoy having you stay with us.

I returned home yesterday from Clay Center for a sort of 'required vacetion'. The farmers in that district would not let us continue with our work until@ harvest is finished. Our next job to do on the road was to lay a six inch dirt and sand base, and this would muke it very hard for the hauling 6f their wheat as the road would be very soft and our mechines would hold them up at times. As there is no other immediate thing to be done to the road, all we have to do is to weit until@ harvest is over, which will be about ten days or two weeks, As I will be home ung this time I was wondering if you woulda send me the equipment that I have asked you for. The size of the shoes (if you Suess big enough box to send them in!) is 9. I hate to bother you with this but I would like to get in some penton, I received a letter from Max Kissell today and will answer it immediately. He says that he is unable to decide whet he wants to take and this makes it difficult to pick the school. I will try ana assure him that he can probably receive from the University any course . that he desires.

The last two or three years have been very trying for him because of his size. Since he first talked to you he has felt more comfortably about that. To us he has a nice disposition,and if he can keep this during the next few years,without bitternes he will have gone a long way to a useful,and happy life.Like most parents we wish we could relieve, of this problem. We are pleased that he selected K.U.a good school ,near home,and best because of your influence. If he is able to develop to be of any value to your department,I know that he will be glad to in that small way repay you for your efforts. Since John has been in Lawrence,we have heard so many nice things about your department,and how much you do for the boys. Thanking you again for your wery thoughtful co operation.
