Director of Athletics,

Lawrence, Kans.

Dear "Phog”:

Replying to your letter of November 20th in
regard to information for your school of coaching, we do
not give a degree in physical education. Those taking
the courses are given a B.S. in Education along with a
certificate in physical education. 126 hours are required
to get this degree. 20 hours are required to get a cer-
tificate to teach. There is not a state law in Nebraska
regarding the number of hours required for teaching
physical education. I rather think it will be hard to get
a law passed as the small colleges tdo not want it passed.
They do not offer courses in physical education but still
want their men eligible to go out and teach and coach.

All work the first year for those taking the
course for coaching is such that it can be transferred
without loss of eredit to any college in the University.
Subjeets relating directly to the course start the second
year.

I am enclosing a bulletin of the Teachers College
of the University of Nebraska which gives you an outline of
the courses in physical education and athletics.

If any further information is desired, I shall
be glad to furnish it.

Sincerely yours,

D pions
Direetor of Athletics.

Enel.
