Suran at the present time. I have had him in my coach- ing school classes, but for the moment I cannot locate hin in his present position. As I recall he is a Southwestern graduate, but I cannot intelligently describe his work until I can place him in his present and previous positions. A few years ago I had quite an extended correspondence with him and with his employer, but it is rather hasy for the moment. Will you be kind enough to amplify his background so that I may write you promptly regarding my opinion of his qual- ifications? I em leaving the latter part of this week for the Towa State High School Athletic Association ) school to be held at Boone, Iowa, from August 18 to 23.
