Major General Commandant
Headquarters, U. S. Marine —
Washington, DD. GO.

My dear Mr. Commandant:

I gesire to commend to you Mr. John Robert
Kline, a graudate of the University of Kansas and a resident
of Hutchinson, “ansas.

John Kline has, played three years of Varsity
basketball on our champsionship team and I have found himat
atll times to be an exemplary athlete and a fine gentleman.
His exceptional ability has been founded upon experience and study.
He is not the mere accidental type of athlete but takes his train-
ing seriously.

He is clean, capable and resourceful. Le knows how

to take- orders and how to execute them. Being possessed of an

exceptional pea and a fine personality, he attracts men by his
bearing.

In the three years that he has played under me, never
once have I found it necessary to reprimand him. If all athletes
were the type of John Kline, the coach's life would be a joy.

’ i

In my opinion, he is fine officer material and
I'm glad to recommend him without reservation or evasion.

Very cordially yours,

€

Director of Physical Education and
Recreation-Varsity Basketball and
FCA:re Baseball Coach.
