SECRETARY-TREASURER

Dr. Forrest C. Allen
Director of Basketball
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

In order that we may have an outstanding speaker
for our annual banquet meeting to be held in connection
with our national coaches meeting, I am bringing the
matter to your attention at this time and shall be pleased
to leave the selection of this man entirely in your hands.
You should know the men from your immediate section who
would do us a good job on such an occasion. I am sure
you know what we would like to have and certainly there
are men in that section who could handle such an assign-
ment well.

As a suggestion along this line, I would like
to see a man who knows both the coaching side and also
the academic side of a university, some one who might
discuss the tenure of the coaching profession, the import-
ance of a close association of our athletic coaches with
the faculty of their respective colleges and universities,
and related matters. In other words, looking to the
future, which I am sure is to come shortly, the coaches
as members of the faculty with faculty ranking, somewhat
with insurance on their jobs.

I am certain that many of the coaches are inter-
ested in this important movement today and some one who
is able to discuss it, would, I believe, be well received
at our banquet. Please interpret these things merely as
suggestions and feel free to get any one you care to.

Very truly yours,

  
   

.jGrdver, resident
