Phog,y but Fred Ware has informed me that he- didn't believe that your University intendea to replace Horace Masone I believe that you know the value of publicity, Phog, and also that you know if a University's athletics are to attain the heights that it should in the public's and high sport aficial's eyes, it must have an advance Man. i assure you that if I secured the position that the Jayhawkers would perceive nore publicity than they have had before. I have written the President of your University - giving names of men who can recommend me for publicity work that I have done, among them Fred Ware and John Bentley, whom you know, but as yet I have not received a reply.
