Allen Director of Physical Education Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have applications from Gordon Gray and Ernest Vanek for work in physical education and basketball. I should like to have you give me an opinion regarding the merits of each of these two men, especially in physical education classes. I assume, since both of them have worked with you as assistants in freshman coaching, thet they are trained in basketball. However, we want to do something in physical education as well and I want to know what these men. can do to help us. Sincerely yours, AJS/F Superintendent of Schools
