Dear Sir:

Your school has been recommended to me by one of
your old ex-students and my friend Mr, Isenberger of
Corpus Christé, Texas. He set it out as one of high
schoolastic and athletic value.

I attended Schreiner Institute at Kerrville, Texas
for the term from September 16, 1941 to “ay 27, 1942. I
earned a major letter in football and made the basketball
team but was forced to discontinue it because of studies.
I had previously lettered three years in high school at
Kingsville, Texas. Baseball is the sport in which I am
the most interested in as I am more qualified for it than
the others because of experience. I have played two years
of Semi-Pro baseball in the Gulf Coast League of South
Texas. The League was dissolved at the close of the past
season and I would not know who to refer to for references.
Is there a try out camp in which I could attend? I am
eighteen years old, 5'10" in height and weigh 182 pounds.
I bat and throw right handed and have been playing at short
stop but have pitched some also,

I have no college hours to my credit as I have just
finished high school. I have a class average of a high seventy.

I would appreciate it very much if you would sent me a
bulletin of your school as I would like to consider the
possibility of enterring for the 1942-43 term.

Yours truly,
