Dear Mac:

I was told by Arnold Long that Covert was attend-
ing Kansas State, not that I cared particulerly where
Mre Covert went, but I recall that you stopped me in
Wichite and told me what a wonderful boy Covert was.

We discussed him about one-half hour in the Allie Hotel.
fhen, when I went down to see you, I was told that
Covert sould not attend any school but would go to jun-
for college. I assure you that I would never have
pothered with checking him up but I felt that you were
perticularly interested in him and I wanted to please
our own alumni. | ;

I heve never made it a business to solicit ath-
letes and I will not start now, but I was doing it be-
cause I thought you were tremendously interested in
him. Perhaps you do not kmow why he went to Kansas
State but it certainly must have teken some money to
get him there, and I was told they were without funds.

Can you tell me how thet edds up?
With 11 good wishes I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Fducetion and Recreation
Varsity Basketball Coach
