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.

Sincerely, ,
