OFFICERS-IN-CHARGE December/f, 1937 Dear Friend: Christmas time is known as a season of happinness and joy-- the time of year when the spirit of goodwill abounds everywhere. When we stop to consider it, what is the basis of it all? Friendship underlies our greatest motives--and it is the spirit of friendship that makes Christmas the beautiful event that. it is. There are still many who need our attention, children with longing hearts and minds, aged people whose Christmas would be barren and sad if we failed them. Yes, this is our annual Christmas appeal for those whose Christmas rests in the hearts and hands of those better situated financially to contribute. In helping us to render assistance to the unfortunate, you not only help them but your own Christmas will be made brighter by feeling you have done your part to relieve the sorrow and distress of the needy. May we be your servants in carrying assistance to those less fortunate? Sincerely yours, Vi Zé OFFICER IN CHARGE N.B. KINDLY MAKE YOUR CHECKS PAYABLE TO THE SALVATION ARMY.

Dear Phog:- Before I received your letter of the 26th I wrote you, telling you how much I appreciated your sending the two autographed copies of your "Better Basketball”. Yes, we still have some copies of your former book and as you request, I am sending you, under separate cover, two copies for your library. We have no defective copies - you know, Phog, we never made any that way, and these that you will receive will be in perfect shape for your library collection. ’ Larry is playing basket-ball at Exeter. He tells me, however, that the é6astern basket-ball does not in any way compare with what we have out here in this part of the country. We all appreciate your very nice comments about Klein. He was connected with this firm for thirty-five years. I knew him from the time I wore diapers and you know, he was my most intimate associate for the past fifteen years. His passing was a great jolt to all of us. However, we have a grand organization here and we are going to plow ahead into greater fields. Be sure and let me know the next time you come to Kansas City. I should like to have lunch with you and talk over with you the subject that is closest to me - Larry and his progress.

I had.to fill out a formal application blank they sent me, and have returned it together with my transcript. This was returned to them on December twenty-second and I have not heard from them since. However, the men whose names I gave as references have all gotten questionaires. At least, the ones here in Lindsborg have . I have already written a letter to Mr. Landon, thanking him for his kind letter to Dr. Pugsley, and thought I would thenk the men there in Lawrence when I see them. Now, if there'is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate in suggesting it to me. I have not written:to Pittsburg yet but have been thinking very strongly of it.

REPORTER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DIVISION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS December 16, 1937. Justice Walter Thiele, Supreme Court, State House, Topeka, Kansase Dear Walter: I am making every legitimate effort possible to help Elmer Schaake land a job as football coach at South Dakota State College, at Brookings, S. De I have written to Dean Stallings, and have a very favorable reply. They are con- sidering him seriously. I believe it would be a fine thing if you could write Dean Stallings, acting athletic director, at South Dakota State College, a strong letter telling him all the fine things that you know about Elmer Schaake. By the way, Walter, I am going to send you a file on Schaake's situation so that you can bend yourself in his behalf. You know how fond of him I have always been, and I an sure that you have shared a like interest. You have helped him a lot and you are in a good spot to help him more. I talked to E. C. Quigley last night about the letter that I have just written Elmer, and Quigley is going to do everything he can for hime Of course, I have advised Elmer to get strong men in different fields of endeavor to recommend hime This will show the president in what esteem he is held among the people in Kansase You know Elmer has lost his job at Bethany through no fault of his. It is a poor school and they expect a lot more from anyone who is not a magician or a king prosel- yter. You can see from Thomas E. Ryther's letter that Elmer has a good strong inside track. Ernie Quigley said this to me in confidence last night when he was speaking with me. Of course, it must be considered in this light, because he would not want it repeated. "It is a good thing that Elmer Schaake could not have the same material that some of the coaches in the Big Six have. He would whip a lot of them. This is never to be repeated, of course." ole I will see you same time, Walter. Good luck to youe And thank you for helping a very deserving chap with a small fine family.

OP. FG. ALion; University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doc: ; Was very happy to receive your letter and you know I will get busy and try to get this job. I am writing Ryther and telling him I will ap»reciate anything he can do for me, and asking for any suggestions that he thinks might help me. I will write Tom Sweeney of the Peovles State Bank tomorrow, so you will have time to see him first. I think Justice Walter Thiele would be kind enough to write. I will also write Dr. Anderson. [I believe Dr. Esterly would dao me a good turn so if you suggest, I will write him. #. GC. Quigley once told me he would do all he could for me in writing a recommendation. You will probably see him in the next day or two, and if you think it advisable, let me know and I will write him. I nave asked Gari O. Lincoln, former Bethany coach and now City Clerk, to write me a recommendation, and I am sure he will go tne limit. We played Sterling tonight and got off on the right foot -— 36 to ll — but of course they were not much power. I have a couple of freshman that have possibilities of making fair basketball players. Don't worry about Man ot War not coming in first if I can manaze to start him at the post. Please let me know the references you think will do me the most good. Sincerely youns,
