Dr. F.C. Allen :
Director of Physical Education and Recreation
University of Kansas

Deer Doc:

I have asked Arnold Von Lehson,Soldan High Basketball Coach about
Bob Abrams and find that he has only words of praise for the boy. He says
that Bob is an all E (A) student,and that he is a fine all around boy. As
far as his basketball ability is concerned he states that he definitely
considered him a college prospect.

Abrams did not play against my team this year because he graduated
in January and we played Soldan last week. Soldan won the championship with |
a fine fast team. I am inclined to sgree with the Soldan coach as to Abrams ©
future. ;

My basketball team will probably end up in a tie for second place
with Beaumont. I had a mighty fine team the first semester and was undefeated
with it but graduation robbed us of three stars and virtually wrecked us. :

Central High School has a boy by the name of Kenneth Wulfemeyer
who still has another year of competition,but is undoubtedly the greatest
high school basketball player I have sesn anywhere. He is far better now than
Fred Pralle was as a senior at Beaumont,in fact I would go so far as to say
that he is as good as he is now. Last year he was selected as our most valua
plaver and he was only a sophmore. I am fairly certain that we can sell him
K.U. The K.U. boys that play on these A.A.U. teams are doing a lot to boost
your stock here in St. Louis.

Doc + have an opportunity( this is confidential) that may be presente
to me in the spring. Mr. Anderson ,our director of Physical Education and
Recreation, told me yesterday that he was going to recommend that I be made
his assistant. He was a little concerned about my graduate work and wondered
how long it would take me to work off my Masters dgree. Now/Il have been
taking graduate work at St. Louis University and in May will have acaumulated
twelve hours of graduate work. Ten:of these hours are in Education and Two in.
Sociology. I am wondering if these hours of Graduate Education would be
accepted at K.U. At homecoming + had quite a conversation with Prof. Nash and
he said at that time that he thought that the university would accept credit
from other institutions provided that the student had completed his under-
graduate at Kanses. If I could work off all of the Eduational wok here in
St. Louis it might be possible for me to get enough courses in Physical Ed. in
two summers to take care of the Degree. 1 certainly hope that * have not been
dreaming. x

List of the Courses I have Taken at St.Louis U.

Ed. 249 Current Educational Problems 2 hours :

Ed.sl2@lx Personnel Guidance 4 hours

If the situation devel epersssyorersy I am certain that my experience
in the St. nour? Public “chools and Playgrounds should help me a great dea

Sincerely yours,
