Dr. Forrest C. Allen
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen,

I thought it might be that you would attend the
state basketball teurnment at Salina this week end. If
you should I would appreciate it if you would give
our high schocl team the once over as I feeel that we huue
some boye that will make good in college.

There are three or four that I am espedéially int-
erested in seeing come to K. U. Horace Menasco ig a
senior this year so it is doubtful whether he will
get to go to school as he was 18 in March. He is a
A student and the best football man we have ever had
in school. He can kick, pages, run and bleck. He
was picked on the Hutchinson paper on their all Class
A team ae a guard and I believe will make someone
happy. Lee I am afriad ia pretty small for college
but was picked on the all class team and the Class A
team ae forward.

The three that I feel might be worth looking

after are underclassmen and mabe by the time they
get through high school the war will be over.

Charles Truby is a freshman and in his firet year
has been outstanding in both football and basketball
and with three more years of high school training

should make a whiz. His Father went to Manhattan but

I dont believe that would keep charles from going te

- U. as his father come near coming up there weth
me in 1921. ffalph Menasco,a brother of Horaege, is
a@ sophmore and is developing fast in both football
and basket ball. He has the hd\eht and in two more
years will have the weight. He has looked awful good.
Victor Elliott has the hight and weight but is handycapped
by having lost the sight of one eye but he has been
above the adverage in both sports as end on the football
team and center on the basketball team. All of these

_. will go to school some place if the war will let
em.

Our Coack Wayne Gardner would like te see these
boy pick K. U. and I thought if you happened to be
over at Salina you might get a chance to speak to them
as I know they would get a big kick out of meeting you

personally and it might be the deciding factor .
they go te school. g or in where

Yours truly nd £
