Dear Dr. Allen:

3 I have just read in the local paper of .
the resignation of Mike Getto as freshman coach. I have
written to Mr. Henry and suggested that I might be inter-
ested in the position, but since I am so far away from
Kansas, I would like a little “off the record" informa-
tion and advice and feel thatyou arethe only one in a
position to give it to me. Of course, any information
you should care to give me I will regard as strictly
confidential.

~- First, do you think I would be wise to
go after the job? Is there any future in it or maythe
next freshman coach find himself in the same position as
Ralph Conger after a year or two?

Second, do you think there would be an
opportunity of combining freshman coaching with teaching
in the men's physical education department? My thought
is that, financially, this might be a mutually profitable
setup for the athletic and physical education departments
and at the same time, offer a fair remuneration to me.

If I am not mistaken, this is the setup at Missouri.

We have five more weeks here at Madison,
after which, we'll be back in Kansas and I'll have com-
pleted work for the Master's degree.

Very sincerely,

# ey Aate
