Mr, E, C, Ont
Me! Manys, Renaee’

Dear Ernie t

‘ Doubtless our letters passed in the
mail,

: | iy position is this, Ernie, I would
‘like to have you every game, But I would very much
rather have the other people ask for you, as they
have done. Then that puts me in a comfortable
situation, |

7 When many of these coaches see you
working so many Kansas games they wonder "How come?"
Of course, your residence, both at St, Marys and
your farm at Williamsburg make it convenient for
you and it is very pleasant for us to have you.

; I know how busy you are and I want
to assure you that it seems that I have been just
as busy as I have ever been in my life, trying to —
set up this new department in a most favorable way
arene both efficiency and pleasant relation~
ships.

_ Ernie, I rather hinted in my other
letter that since i was not Athletic Director I
could not promote the proposition of having you
here to referee our frosh=varsity game December Le
i wish it were possible to have you for that

but you can understand thet I am not Athletic
-Direetor and I do not want to ask those in author-
ity to pay you a fee for this game » which may not.
Gevelop into a very big thing, |

: We have &@ star personnel on the freshe
man team - Ralph Miller of Chanute, Engleman of |
Arkansas City, Jack Buckman of Argentine, Bobby Allen
of Lawrence, Bill MeKinley and Bill Hogben of South-
west High Kansas City, and half a score of other

vory promising and prominent high school boys, 3
