Dear Rosss

On March 3 my secretary wrote you that I was out of tow and I would
answer your letter as soon as I returneds well, here on Monday during Easter
vacation, I em taking time to try to catch up with some belated correspondentée

I appreciate very much your thoughtfulness and kindness in writing
me regarding what possible financial aid the University could extend toward |
‘two boys who have especial adaptability in athletioa, Ross, the out@«ofestate
fee rather slays us and since Kansas has been poverty stricken regarding the
possibility of helping athletes, I cannot be over enthusiastic in responding
to your fine letters

| The Ivy League of course never does any proselytings they take care
of the boy's expenses. What is done in this way removes the curse and stigua

from thingse We out West here are more vulgar; we raise moneys They do

it a different way back Baste |

| Wheat little aid we can give in the way of jobs even then would
not entice them because our sister Universities eround here give much more
lucrative jobs, or positions, should I say, than we doe | |

However, I do wish to thank you so much for your kindness in writing
MSs I imagine you do miss the Mill, but I want to assure you that we mies yous

With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
