Groe said that Layton was a boy who loved baseball, and that he knew he meant
to make a profession of playing it. Ur. Groe advised Layton that he could
recommend any particular school, but that Layton would have to look over a
of colleges, and their records, to determine for himself where he would be
benefitted. Mr. Groe stated thet he mentioned, among ether schools, the Univer-
sity of texas end the University of Oklahoma, and that he saw nothing unusual in
