Coach Ve 0. Ward,
Medicine Ledge, Kansas.

Dear Coach Ward:

Thank you soe much for giving me the information ree
garding Den Helland, Dean Dawsen and Dick Dill. It is very
generous of you to give me this information.

I have just placed a call for Den Heiland this
morning. Doubtless he may have gone to seme other school,
but it was not possible for me to contact him sooner. I
talked to Henry Shenk about Don Heiland and if he has not
already entered school we would be delighted to have him
here.

I am making a notation regarding Dick Dill especially.
I remember that you thought he rrould return to Medicine Lodge
fran ElRenc. I certainly would like to have him on my basket-
ball team because if he is as good as Dick Smith, he is a dandy.

When I talk te Heiland I will ask him about Dawson's
availability.

Won't you be kind enough to keep ms informed regard-
ing the available good men that you come in contact with? I.
am anxious about this boy Truby that you mentioned. Anthony
has had sowe fine athletes in the past few years, but the ser-
vice seems to have gotten most of then.

With appreciation, I am

Very sincerely yours,

Direoter of Physical Edusation,
FCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
