Dear Dr. Allen:

I enlisted in the Naval Reserve, November 12 and am stationed
at the Hutchinson base. I now have an opportunity to get
into the physical education department here with advancement in
rating and the possibility of a commission. Lieutenant Wells,
who heads this department, has asked me to get letters of
recommendation and turn them in to him as soon as possible.

I will appreciate it very much if you wiil write a letter

in my behalf concerning my track record at the university.
Tom Hamilton, who, as you no doubt know, heads the physical
education program for the Navy, is expected at the Hutehinson
base early this month. Lieutenant Wells wants me to hand
this information to him before that time.

In ease you have trouble placing me, I graduated with the
class of 1928 and my main event was the broad jump. I coached
at Wamego High School after graduating. In the fall of 1936
my brother and I went into the auto supply business here in
Hutchinson. He is carrying on the business.

I am sorry to have to ask this favor at your busiest time
of the year. Here's wishing you a most successful Season.

Sincerely yours

Opps @ 4 ae
