Mr. Chief Malone,

Dear Chief:

ordinarily. I desired to talk to Mr. Howard Porter, who is with
us now. He states that you are a good gym man and that in his
opinion you have aaa of developing into a good teacher.

Of course you will veliretend that a fellow who doesn't
make a varsity letter in some sport has a more difficulty oppor-
tunity to be placed in a teaching job in high school than a man
who does win a letter. — << ye oe eee 7 ee
that we could place you.

that while it might be an impediment in some ways it would not
interfere with your teaching gymastic work. He tells me that you
are a good basketball player, er ee ee
very well.

i If you come to college here I think we could give you
some work as a student that would help with your expenses. The
fact that you do pretty well with gymmasiun apparatus leads me
to believe that it would not be long until we could develop you
so that you could teach som: civilian classes wder the direction
of one of the faculty manbers. I am very sure that you could get
a desree in Physical Education if you are as enthusiastic about the
work as Mr. Porter has described to me.

If there are any further questions thet you desire to ask
Iwill be happy to hear from you.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Uducation,
FPCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
