My dear Phog;

I was very glad to get your letter of July 28th, and
delay in answering was due to the boy being out of tom. However,
he is "tickled to death" with the prospect, and it is his hope end
ambition that arrangements can be made for him to enter the
Kansas University. :

He has @ brother who weighs approximately 235 lbs, about
6 ft 2 inches in height who played 2 years foot balliin Junior
College and 2 years in High School who has been in correspondence
with some of the Athletic people, and later on, his father with the
two boys and possibly myself, are coming over, and if possible
would like to meet you at your office, i want them to see where I
got my teeth knocked out with a rope in the Gymasiunm,

I know you are going to be delighted with the prospects
of this boy, and I know he is going to develop into one of your
great players, to be the nucleus around 4 great team.

Mour kind offer was certainly appreciated by my Boss, Mr,

Steve Meade,who expressed his deep appreciation, and I think, without

@ doubt every effort will be made for the boy to go to your great
