Ur. Harold Miller,
Chanute, Kansas.

Dear Harold:

_ I just wanted you to know that yesterday I put Dick in at
quarterback and tried him, as you suggested. Wax Kissell was
against him and he blocked about six of the first seven passes
that Dick made. Dick got terribly discouraged. Maybe it was
because he had not had enough practice at that position. —

But I do remember that I tried him there once before and

  

Gilet him know that I had talked with you, but I
firmly *esolved’to give hima try. I will try him again there,
but from all my previous experience with him he shows that he
does not like the position in the first place and much prefers
to play the forward position.

At any rate, Harold, I will keep giving him a chance, and
you might talk to him some time and tell him that I did this
because you and I discussed it. sennl\seal pt mashed Sugeore
te give every boy every possible chance, and if he oan make good
no one would be more happy than I,

of leadership. But if Dick possesses these oe ue nee
them under his personality belt.

I hope to see you tomorrow night. It is going to be a
tough ball game, I know that,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
