Dear Doc:

I am sorry to be so late in answering your letter
of August 6th, but I have been in Colorado with my
Mother the past two weeks and just returned last night.

Glenn St. Aubyn is planning to enter the University
this fall and may turn out to be an asset to your team.
His morals are good, being free from nicotine and liquor.
He grew fast and was quite awkward in basketball but im-
proved a great deal his last two years. He works hard to
overcome his faults and is a willing subject to good ad-
vice. He is 6'3" tall and weighs approximately 170 lbs.
He was, as Coach Elliott has written you, one of the out-
standing boys in the senior class and very popular with
his classmates and teachers.

He will have to work his own way through school as
his folks are not financially able to give him much help.
However, he is a responsible boy and more than willing to
work, so with the determination he has to obtain an edu-
cation I feel in my own mind that he will succeed. In
fact he has made onetrip to Lawrence looking for possi-
bilities of a job when school begins this fall. He has
already made the necessary arrangements to stay in one of
the new men's dormitories so he is that far along. Then
too, I recommended him to Carl Clifton for a job there
and mentioned Paul Rogers. Perhaps he could get a clean-
ing concession from Paul for ‘the dormitory where he will
be placed, or even better a job in his establishment.

I had not writtén about him as I knew he had made up
his mind to go to the University and thought it would be
less trouble to you at present to let him rustle a little
for himself and prove that he really intends to make good.

Trusting this is the information desired, I remain

Yours truly, Bret,
