My dear Dr. Allen:

In looking over my copy of your
last edition it came to mind that in your peregri-
nations around the country at Coaching Schools
that you might contact an opening for a trainer
and assistant coach, if so, I would appreciate it
if you would keep me in mind.

Since I saw you in '35 at Hintsville when Fred

Swan so ignomiously labeled me "Dr.Quack", various
things have happened to me. This past year I went
into Senior High as a Physical Education man and
trainer but I was roped into handling some football
and this coming Fall it would seem# that I am to be
cast in the role of first assistant coach. That is
all right, but I would much rather handle the physi-
cal and mental conditions of the players than coach
them. I am more interested in being a trainer at
this particular school than coach as I am doubtful

of my ability to make a go of it under the head

coach than the man who is withdrawing. He is a swell
guy personally but he has the bad habit of forgetting
to plan things and I am rather systematic. Besides,
like every one else, I would like to land a better
job. In case you have forgotten me in the shuffle of
meeting so many people, I have had three years of med-
icine at Tiilane and have been coaching Junior High
sports ohare a few years. I was fortunate to have
teams that, the city championship for the years '3535

thru '36 in football and for '36 thru '37 in swimming.

Are you booked for any coaching schools in Texas for
this coming summer or in a neighboring state? If so,
please give me the where and when.

Thanking you for any attention you may give me, I am

Sincerely yours,

Shas Airy
