Dear Dre Allen:

Up to now, neither of the people whom you recon=
mended for basketball coach for Emporia has applied for
the positione

We are still looking for sameone. It frequently
happens that a person who has been a substitute on a team
will make as good a coach as will the regular or even the
star player. The important things are that he knows
basketball, is highly intelligent and is a man of excellent
character e

We hope you will keep us in mind and that some~
time in the near future you may have someone to recommend.

Yours truly,

We M. Richards, Supte
