April 1, 1943.

Mr. Leslie Mann,
Pensacola, Plorida.

Dear Leslie:

I was delighted to have your letter of the 25th ultimo. I have
been out of the office and unable to answer your letter sooner. How-
ever, I do want you to lmow that I would be delighted to have a
young man of your physical prowess and versatile capabilities in our
department.

Les, I doubt if we will have football next year, and if we do I
believe the Athletic Board will ask a young man who is in our Depart-
ment of Physical Education to take over. He is Henry Shenk, who
played on the 1927, '28 and ‘29 varsity football team here and has
been out in the state doing a fine job in his conching work. We
called him back here three years ago and he is doing great work.

Bill Hargiss wont into industrial work and Gwinn Henry resigned.
They have asked Mr. Shenk to take over track, after Bill and Gwim
relinquished their track coaching jobs here.

I certainly want to keep you in mind and if anything does open up
in @ coaching way I will certainly let you know. Webraska still has
Glenn Presnell, but I am not sure whether he will stay for the fall
sport, as I am not sure about his age. The Presnell's do not have any

We are not sure of the physical conditioning program for the
future. It seems as if there has been a decided slow-up in the way
of the Engineers and the Navy men coming in. The Chancellor is not
committing himself until they show up. We have three full time men
on our physical education staff at the present time and have been
using advanced students and leaders to drill our 1800 men who are taking
_gompulsory physical education. About a third of those have gone since
the semester opened.

I am glad to know that Leslie is an Insign in the Navy, and doing
well. Bobby, my youngest son, is a junior in the Medical School at
the University of Pennsylvania. All the children are doing well and
are happy, I hops. on ae en ee
Mam and ynaeeif.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCAsH Varsity Basketball Coach.
