Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Fhysical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doctor: "Kapp" and I should like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation for your splendid efforts.which made it possible for us to receive every consideration for enlistment in the Naval Reserve. As you perhaps know by this time, we were unfort- unate in the color examination - I missed the green-gray color charts which made it impossible for us to be given any consideration. I was surprised because I passed the vision test with a 20/20 rating and I had never tried the color tests before. I trust that you followed your plans to return to Lawrence by train as I waited at the Recruiting office until about four O'clock and called the Mumieipal Aud- itorium. The girl in the Manager's Office stated that you had been in Mr. Sachman's office but had left some time prior to my call. Horace Mason volunteered this information as he returned with me. I sincerely hops that I did not cause you any inconvenience. Again, thanking you for your help and wishing you and the team the best of luck in winning those import- ant road games. fdcar\P, Schmidt Ye: Buchanan St. Topeka, Kansas.
