Dr. FF. C.- Ailen
Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

Our Mr. Russell Dickinson has accepted an appointment
to the physical education department in the college

at Ames. We are, therefore, fovking for a man to be
our head basketball coach here in Marshalltown. Our
school is of such a size that the basketball coach will
be asked to teach physical education classes, and
possibly to assist with football in the fall and
handle track in the spring. I believe we will be able
to pay a salary which will attract a man of some
ability. The amount of the salary will depend upon
the training an¢ experience of the applicant.

I am inclined to believe that a source of supply for
the man we want will be in the smaller schools where
the school board will be willing to release a man

for a better position. I am wondering whether you
know of any men who have the qualifications and might
be interested in the position here.

I assure you that I will anpreciate anything you can
do to help us in our selection.

Sincerely yours,
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
