Dear Supt. Allberts

i have been requested by Mre Jelle Greem, one of our
University of Kansas graduates, whe is located in Phillipsburg,
Rausas, to write you a letter concerning his character and abilitye

I kmow of no young man in the coaching field who sets
@ finer example to young mon than "Bill" Greene. He is an alleround
athiete, having served most proficiently in Varsity Tracke

He was also @ fine basketball player and he served as
assistant trainer to my Varsity. I have been rather fortmate in
developing such trainers as Jimmy Cox at Harvard, Roland Logan

et West Point, Elwyn Dees at Nebrasim, Milton Kelly at the Mnivorsity
of Texas and Dean Nesmith at Mansase Mre Greene assisted Dean Nesmith
and I was happy to be in @ position to help him in his work. This
talent that he has would be especially valuable to the young men on
your athictic squade | ,

_ While tr. Greene has never played on our Varsity squad he
was on onr Freshmen squad and I had him in a basketball classe I em

sure thet his close association with me and any added work thet
would take this summer in basketball would well qualify him for a
ion in your school if you are interested.

z

will be glad to answer any questions concerning Ire Greene
you might wish to aske

Sincerely yours,
