Dear 0. 8.3

I received a letter from Major B. L. Roberts, a graduate
of Central Missouri State Teachers Gollege, and I am sure, the
University of Missouri. I kmow he is a University graduate, but I
‘am not sure after leaving Warrensburg what University he attended.
Major Reberts played football and basketball and competed in track
for me while I was at Central Missouri State Teachers College. He
had two brothers that were outstanding athletes at the University
of Missouri. This was along about 1915-16. :

: Major Reberts writes me that a bad knee that he got in
football is showing up and they de not consider him suited for a
hard campaign in the Southwest Pacific. He has written me asking
if I could line him up in a college coaching position. He has his
pedagogy and other qualifications for a life teaching certificate,
Iam sure. I igmote him and told him I knew of no openings in college
but there were a great many high school openings, I am sure, and I am
. writing to see if you would be interested in him. He is olean as a
hound's tooth and a fine gentleman. Ue would make q@ great coash, as
well as a great example for young men. 7

I eam trying to aid him in any way that I oan in this re-
habilitation work. Won't you write me and frankly tell me what the
chances are for a man with these unusual qualifications? He is now

located at Colorado Springs, and would be interested in something

With all good wishes, I am

- Sincerely yours,

ie
