August 11, 1945 Dr. Allen | Physical Education Dept. University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I am writing you this letter to apply for a job during the coming school year, It is rather early to apply, but naturally I am doing so as to get the best job possible. I would like a job in the stadium locker room if possible. You see, I am very much interested insabhletics, but being too small keeps me from going out for competitive ball, both basketball and football. I enjoy being around the players and talking to them. I will be able to work at least twenty hours a week during the fall semester. If it is possible to do so, I would be only too happy. I am an ardent physical culturist, and hope to become a doctor someday. I also want to ask you a question. What do you think of berbells and dumbells to build ones body and health? Also”what aretthe best exercises to develop ones speed in running the dashes in track? 1 woulda appreciate it very much if you would consider me for a position. I know you will do your upmost for me. If possible would you answer this letter. Yours very on @ P. S. I have been a student at the University since July,1944,
