I will be most happy to see him or his protege any time it is convenient for them to be in Lawrence. I hesitate to write to him as we are not in position to take care of a boy, out of state fees and all, especially knowing nothing about him. I would much rather get Kansas boys, if we can get them.

Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I appreciated your prompt reply and enjoyed your letter very much. I also appreciated the information. The boy that I had reference to is going to make a change between now and the lst of February. At the time Il wrote you the last letter I did not know that he was so anxious, but due to some bad advise the boy went to a small school in Commerce, Texas, and naturally he is very dissatisfied. It may be that the boy will be through Lawrence Saturday or Sunday of this week, and if so he will stop to see you because he is interested in making a decision now, as there are two other schools that are trying to get him. This young man, W. H. (Dub) James, is a friend of our family, and he believes that he would like to go to the University of Kansas. The one redeeming thing about the boy is that his chief interest is an education, but he is an outstanding football player, the information of which I will be in qa position to send you in a few days. James was All City Center orlliche high school football team in Dallas last year, and the sports writers say that he is one of the best football prospects that have come out of the city in some time, I probably should write to Ad Lindsey, the Football “oach, but I do not know him, and feel that I do imow you quite well, and that you will do whatever can be done in consulting Mr. Lindsey and advising me as to what to tell the boy. James has no money, but I feel that in as much as he is such a good football prospect that you might work out something there at the school for him to do; and perhaps I can locate him something at a fraternity house in Lawrence, James is nineteen years old, and is just 6'23s" tall and weighs 20) pounds. I°wish you would give this due consideration and thought, and if you believe it would do the boy any good to stop by and see you or even make a trip up to see you,beause the boy is anxious to go toa good school, and would appreciate it if you would write me back so that I can have it by Friday at the latest, as the boy is going to do GIT Ne WHEEL& RIM 4 ASSOCIATION / GENUINE] PARTS A BATTERIES > “4 Wheel and Rim for Every Car” | a Dr. Allen 12/27/37 something this week I feel sure, Jim Bausch also knows of this boy's ability, and I am going to have him write you and add a little about the boy. a Hope you will find time to let me know within the next few days what ] you would advise the boy to do. | Very truly yours PC P/hw December 24, 1957s Mre P, Ca Popplewell, Southwest Wheel & Rim Cos, Inc., Dallas, TOxABe .

A boy enrolled in a state teachers! school which is in the Lone Star Conference. The school is located at Commerce, Texas. Dutch Meyer, the T. C. U. coach at Fort Worth told the boy that it would be impossible for him to transfer to any other southwest conference school, but I am of the opinion that the boy can transfer to any other school whéther it be a university or any other school, and that all he will loose will be another year as a freshman, with the exception of a southwest conference school. I would appreciate your writing and telling me just what position the boy is in, and it may be possible that I can get hin to go to Kansas to school. He is an outstanding football player and is a pretty fine boy and a friend of our family.

My dear Phog; I have definitely made arrangements with Coach Ralph Wilson, to bring his basket ball teah, from Erie H gh Sghoob up to the Nebraska game. So please lay aside or better I will ask Sidney to stop by and get 15 tickets, and he will pay for same. I figure this will give the boys a thrill, and good advertsiement for K.U. and The Home State Bank. Your boys did better at Columbia, thank goodness. I am sorry that I didn't come on up that Sunday. Have beem improving but not right yet. Iwo months ago I slipped on the top step and scooted down on my right elbow and the Small of my back. Pretty sore but got all right. Then in two weeks while exercising Something slipped. Bhis osteopath here says it is where the flat hip bone joins the vertibrae, throws my left hip high. He got it all right. But same thing happened two weeks ago on the golf course, on just an easy swing. It is improving and he says it will get 0O.K. He treated it, and I have applied a lot of heat, but I am not just satisfied. If it dont get better I will be driving up. The hip seems to be straightening up and I can sit and walk all right again, but still sore, He teils me nothing is broken, or I would holler when he works on me, so has discourgged me on having it X Rayed. Junior and young Larry Doyle will be home Tuesday and have challenged the Seniors to Golf, but think I can hold up my own against those kids with a #5 iron and a putter. Business keeps me tied down to the desk here every day like a dairy farm, just hard to get away. But that is what we want, enough to keep me busy and the boy in school.
