writine and finding out. There's 4 radio program
called What's wr Name, Tts a contest in which in-
formation is siven concerning a well known nerson

pose euat is one fact that makes me a ereat ad-
mirer of Glen Cunningham, Although Ttm a shut-in
7°m - great follower of all sports especially from
wT. I'd like to send in Glen's name and informa-
tion, T have 911 the information T need excent z
can't seem to find where he was Born, T know hets

Dear Mr. Allen:

We are ready to lay our lines on our new gym floor

up with what I think is a potent idea, probable not orig-
inal, for the 3 second zone-ie-. Bay it in solit red as
included diagram shows. This should help player prevent
violations.

Please by return mail send your comment of approval
or disapproval of the idea.

I have sent out to various leading college coaches
and if the consensus of opinios is favorable we will finish
as the inclosed drawing shows.

Please let me hear by return mail because we plan to
paint and seal by Wed.

You were kind to the Warrensburg Mules the

that is my wish to you.

Since June I have been in the Department with
Lloyd King, and I am glad to report that I am
enjoying my work immensely. One of my duties

is to assist a State Committee in drawing up a
course of study in Health and Physical Education.

I am coming to you for any assistance which you

can give for such a program. I am particularly
interested at this time in activities suitable

for boys and girls of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh
grades. I wish to assure you that any assistance
you may have to offer will be sincerely appreciated.

In the meantime, Happy Christmas to you and yours!
