Dr.Forrest C.Allen,

Director of Physical Educafion,
University of Kansas.

Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Dr.Allen:

Received your letter of April 24th and also the other two
letters two weeks ago. I passed on the letter you asked
me to, to Lou Steimmeyer, but have not heard nor talked to
him since. However, I was very happy to learn on talking
to his sister that he was in Lawrence during the relays,
and that you had seen him.

I also felt very much better when I read your letter saying

that he seemed to be warming up a little bit. The last time

I talked to him he let me know that he would like to go to
Kansas, but he still had that fear, if you please, deep

down in his heart that he was bucking up against too good

@ coach. I assured him that he could never be under anyone
better than our basketball coach at the University of Kansas,

and I also told him that you were not out looking for the man
who was already made, but wanted young men who had pessibilities,
who would cooperate with you.

He is a very conscientious chap, and I am sure if we can get
him up there we can do a lot with him. I will appreciate

it if you will let me hear anything reas about Steinmeyer,
or about anyone else if I may help you. ,

With kindest personal regards, I remain,

- Very ey “_
