Dear mr. Allen: Re: Wiley Crabtree

Since the writer is interested in helping the above named
boy to further his education, and, at the same time, is
interested in helping to supply athletic material for the
University of Kansas, I would like to have your scout con-
tact Wiley Crabtree, son of Fred Crabtree, at 908 South
Second Street, Arkansas City, Keanses.

Wiley greduated from the Arkansas City High School in 1938
and while in school, he played football in the position of
tackle. In order to help put his two sisters through high
school and junior college, Wiley entered a C.C.C. camp and
has an honorable discharge from this service. He served
in three different camps and also has a certificate in for-
estry.

This boy now weighs 225 pounds and is six feet three inches
tell. He was born July 3, 1918, which will make him 2@ years
of age in July, 1940. With his former experience in foot-
ball, his training in the C.C.C. camps, his weight, and age,
he should make an ideal football prospect. Wiley received a
foot injury but it is believed this could be corrected with
proper medical attention.

If this boy could receive N.Y.A. employment while attending
college, he could complete his education and also serve the
school in athletic activities.

Anything you may be able to do to help this boy complete his
education, will be greatly appreciated by all concerned.

Yours very truly,
Mrs. Tom Pringle
