Mr. Bob Malott,
1532 Lilac Lane,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Bob:

. 5 seh Sn onnqueeectii you on your graduation from :
University High Sehool. na

I spoke to your dad some few weeks ago and he stated
that you were rather leaning toward Stanford University for your
college education. Stanford is a creat institution and you certain-
ly souldn't make a mistake in choosing Stanford, but if you should
change your mind I want you to imow we would be mighty happy to have
you here at the University. Your coordination is splendid for basket-
ball and when you get a little more organic vigor I think you will
make a great basketball player.

Everett Dean is the coach at Stanford, and when you meet
him this summer remember me most Kindly to him. Your dad stated that
possibly you would go out to spend the summer with your grandmother
and at that time look over the school. I would also like you to stop
by and see my brother who is is Commandant thers, Col. H. B. Allen. He
will be happy to see you, I assure you, and of course I T would want

you to look up Dean Johnny Bunn and give him my regards.

‘But do not forget that we would like you here at the
Uiiverstiy at Tanuun. I am sure that you can make the Kansas varsity.
And as far as I am concerned, I sm still in favor of dealing out a
lot of misery to some of these Big Six opponents. We have just
ordered the varsity gold Ever-Victorious Big Six Championship basket-
ball emblems for the team. Every boy from 1920 until the present
time who has played three years of varsity basketball is wearing one
of those gold basketbalis. We would like to see you wearing one.

Of course we know that you would acquit yourself most
favorably in academics, and basketball with your academics would not
be a bad physical activity for you to indulge in. — .

Wishing you a splendid sumer, I am

Sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education,
FCAAH | Varsity | atball Coach.
