My dear Miss Hoover:

I would like to inquire if there are to be any vacancies
on the Physical Education Staff at the University of
Kansas for the 1940 summer session.

I desire to obtain a position for the summer, preferably
in Kansas. I have taught 3 summers at the University

of Wichita and the past summer I took work at New York
University. I am an instructor here at Iowa State
College and am qualified to teach almost all sports

and recreation courses. I am particularly interest in
Community and Adult Recreation work.

 

If there is to be a vacancy on your staff I would be
glad to come to Lawrence for an interview. I shall be
in Wichita Kansas from December 18 or 19 to January 3
and believe I could come to Lawrence at your convenience.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Phog:

I haven't heard from you for so long that [I thought I[
had better drop you a line and see if you were still on earth.

Believe it or not, I have quit the road and am now
running a bowling alley. For the last few years I have been trying
to figure out what [ could do to make a living and not have to
travel. Kathering and her brother had a dandy big building nere in
Plymouth and so we got together, remodied it. and sunk about 20
thousand in the building and six of the best, Brunswick alleys anda
most modern equipment. Have all indirect lighting and washed air
heat. It really is a beautiful setup and is going over big.

Am wondering if Kansas has any Athletic Scholerships.
That young son of mine has finally stopped growing at 6feet 3 in.
and is developing into a nice basket ball player. I believe by
next year, which will be his senior year in High School, he will
really be good. He takes basket ball very seriously and has kept
himself in perfect shape. He even refuses to go out with girls
as it would keep nim out late and ne figures that is bad. As to
his standing in studies he surly is not like his father. He has
been on the Honor Roll ever since he has been in High School and
the last semester had the highest standing in the whole school so
he must take after his mother.

He wants to study Law but that will come later as [I
would like to send him Bast for his work in that.

Drop me a line when you have time and be sure and say
"Hello" to Mrs Allen for me.

Wishing you and yours a very happy NEW YEAR, I aa,
Fraternally yours,

Dear Dr. Allen:

Thanks for your letter of January Sth. I am sending in Bill's appli-
cation in the course "Foods and Nutrition" this morning,

This is our first trial with him to determine just where he stands
on his memory. He seems to be reasonably near normal but since he
had a total loss of memory, we want to approach any schooling very
Slowly and carefully.

I will take your letter to the house and read it tothe boy at noon,
I know he will appreciate the remarks you have made and I certainly
appreciate them too,

He seems to be doing very nicely and will apparently have a full re-
covery in every respect other than his vision. It is problematical to
the full amount of visional return, but there is every indication
there will be enough to enable him to get around by himself reasonably
well.

Due to the fact that he has always been in pretty good shape physically
and due to the fact that he is just 18, his recovery has been mech
better than the Doctors anticipated, so we figure he may go quite a bit
beyond their present prognosis on the vision.

I notice that you did pretty well against Oklahoma the other night
and assume you will have taken care of the boys in Chicago by the time
this letter reaches Lawrence. I hope that I can get up to one of the
— later on in the spring as I certainly enjoy seeing your boys
work, :

seems as though there is always something to do.

You asked about Fred Wrightman, Dr. Wrightman's son. At present he is
attending the University of Missouri and is taking Journalism.

At the close of the football season the Chamber of Commerce gave the
boys a banquet. E. C. Quigley, who was the speaker, gave a very interesting talk.
During a football season we won five games, lost four, and tied one and finished
third in conference play. So far in basketball we have won two and lost one. I
had over forty boys report for basketball so I cut the squad to twenty and have
practice, twice a week at night for those who were cut from the squad,

-I had hoped to get down to Lawrence to see a game but I notice we have
games on the same nights, so will not be able to get down. If you ever come up
this way we will be sted to have you stop. Wishing you a lot of luck.

Dear Dr. Allen:

Having seen the old Alma “ater play in all of its
home games, and all_the games during the recent
tournement here in +opveka I naturally want to be
among those present when Kansas shows Missouri
how the game is pleyed on March Ist.

Inasmuch as I understand that tickets for the
game a re becoming scarce, I would appreciate
it very much if you would reserve for mé tvwo
tickets as close to the floor as »ossible --
right down in front if that is possible.

If that is impossible, could you find two some-
where on the ground floor near the middle, with
the first balcony as a last resort.

If you will edvise me the location of the tickets
in the near future I will remit a money order

to cover the cost of s ame, presuming that you
can keep the tickets in reserve for me until

you receive the money.

Trusting you can reserve two good seats down
in front for two rabid “ansas fens and thank-
ing you for your favor and assistance to me,
I remain,

Yours very truly

My policy is only to work with my very close friends
in endeavoring to line up an individual that I em interested
ine It would seem very awiwerd to me to contact a school
_ Like Simpson endeavoring to plese anyone unless that individ-
wal to be placed should teke the iniative and mike the
application. in that case I could be helpful, but where I
should initiate the mtter I would not feol it honorable to
all concerned. I am sure thet you can see that sitution
clearly aS

lowever, I do wart to thank you for writing me. ‘The
head of the department should never go out of his realm en
- deavoring to place anyone wmless there is a desire or a demand
for that particular individual, and then the head can come in
if he has been requested to do SO. a
