Mr. F. Le Sahlegel, : uy
Superintendent of Schools,
Kansas City, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Schlegel: .

I received a letter from Major B. L. Roberts, a graduate

of Central Missouri State Teachers College, and I am sure, the
_ University of Missouri. I know he is a University graduate, but I

am not sure after leaving Warrensburg what University he attended.
Majer Roberts played football and basketball and competed in track,
for me while I was at Central Missouri State Teachers College. He
had two brethers that were outstanding athletes at the University
of Missouri. This was along about 1915-16.

Major Reberts writes me eshte ak Sas tk on ce in
football is showing up and they do not consider him suited for a
hard campaign in the Southwest Pacific. He has written me asking
4f I could line him up in a college coaching position. He hag his
pedagogy and other qualificationa for a life teaching certificate,
Iam sure. I wrote him and told him I knew of no openings in eollege
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 clean as a
hound's tooth and a fine gentleman. He would make a great coach, as
well as a great example for young men. |

I am trying to aid him in any way that I can in this re- —
haba li tation 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
for next fall.

With all good wishes, I am

Sineerely yours,

ae Direotor of Physical Rducation,
