Dear Br, Allen:

I have received word this morning that Mr. Buzzard, our
basketball coach,is not phanning to return to Wellington
next year. As you know Mr. Buzzard handled basketball,track
as well as assisted in football.

In looking for a new man I would like to find someone who
is well grounded in the fundamentals of basketball, some-
one who knows the kind of competition that we have in the
Ark. Valley league.

I would appreciate any recommendations that you may have for
this position. I would like a man who has had some experience
in the coaching field, who knows how to handle boys and is
capable of getting along with fellow teachers particularly
in their own department. We have had fine cooperation on the
athletic staff in Wellington for the past few years and want
to continue that same type of leadershipe

If you could suggest two or three of your boys who have follaed
the teaching game and would be interested in Wellington I
would appreciate having some information regarding their
qualifications, We have not opened this position officiall y
but would like to seek a few candidates from which to make

our selection.

Very Truly Yours,

AG te hinds
