Dear Mr. Ballew:

I have just returned from coaching schools for the Iowa
and the Kansas high school athletic associations, and find
your letter of the Sth instant on my desk.

I desply appreciate your courtesy in writing me, giving me
the information on your 18 year old 4F chap who is affected
with asthma. We do not have any scholarships, but we have work
available for boys who want to work. The way I put it, his
work is commensurate with the individual's desire and ability.

‘Doubtless you know that we do not have any electric clock
winding jobs or any scholarships. But if a boy really wants
te go to school we provide an opporamity and a job for him,
but of course he has to work like anyone else. We have a fine
Engineering School here and I am sure that he would obtain very
excellent training. His drafting alone would provide remmer-
ation of a higher order than common labor, and I could obtain
the work for him without any difficulty if he has this added
talent. :

We are sending you a catalog of the Engineering School

which you can give to the boy. If he sees fit to come to K.U.
we will be very glad to help in any way possible.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
