Sunday afternoon

Dear Doc:

Had a long talk with Kistler. His is the boy that
you had in mind. Hé is meer interested,or rather will be
interested if the proposition which they have before the
president here does not go thru. The new plan for him would
net a total of thirty six hundred for the year including work
in the regular session and during the summer. To me, his
position here would not appear to be a very interesting one
since them will have his attentions divided from coaching
freshmen teams in three. sports to continuing his charge of
practice teaching in the Experimental School to teaching
theory courses in Physical Education and directing of
Graduate Theses and a few other things. He would keep the
job here and be perfectly happy , though he may work himself
to death. He is none too optimistic regarding the possibility
of the president passing upon the new arrangement but McCloy
thinks there is no doubt but that it will go thru. He will
know in a cople of d DS McCloy was very outspoken relative
to the possibility ofasécuring a man of Kistler's experience

and qualifications at the salary that-¥e have to offer. In

fact he feels that we are going tAsacrafice experience to
a certain extent to get a man with the advanced degree. I
am beginning to think that a PhD in Physical Education would

demand a pretty good salary in most schools.

As I mentioned in the night letter to you Dr. McCloy
indicated as his second choice,Vernon Lapp, who wrote you
very early in the game from Kansas City where he is employed.
He has had five years experience in all. In the five years
ought to have a pretty good idea as to the public school
situation. He has been making a special study of the work
in the past three years in Kansas City. In his previous
position he taught all of the Phy sical, oa ( girls and boys)
in a town of two thousand in Wisconsin.4He comes from a
long line of University people. His father is ont he faculty
at the University of Michigan and his brother is in the
Physics Department here. He came out here to see me last
night. He and his wife are stopping a couple of days en-
routgto a small town in Wisconsin where they will spend a
good part of the summer. Lapp is a very large chap-not
