Dear Kenneth;

I apologize for not answering your kind letter
of May 29th, sooner. tie were just finishing the Varsity Baseball
scheéule and then our examinations came on. On top of that, we
bad Commencement and following Commencement, the next day wes
the Kansas Amateur Goff Tournament and the 75th Anniversary of
the University of Kansas all cpvwded in at the same time.
fore, ny correspondence has suffered perceptibly.

Certainly my fsilure to answer your letter sooner
is not @ proper gage of my interest in you and my desire for
you to attend the University of Zansas. That fact that you play
both sports of basketball and baseball would make you coming here

very appealing to me.

7 I received several letters from people telling me
of your prowess on both the basketball court and the baseball
G@iamond. I am well acquainted with your Coach, Mr. Vernon J,
Bradburn, but it is not necessary that I receive further testimonials
regarding your athletic ability. And to, I do want to congratulate
you on your very excellent scholastic record. When a boy has a good
academic record, it's always possible for him to get more work in
helping defray his expenses because it is not necessary that he

spend as much time on his studies as it would be necessary for

some less intelligent boy.

| You state in your letter that you will need some
help in order to further your education, I will say now that you
can definitely count on said work. We pay thirty five cents per
hour and I will promise you as much work as you desire on that
basis. Please write me and inform me if this is agreeable to you.

Coach Rost has described your athletic ability
as exceptional, It is his opinion that you have more ability than
other St. Louis boys who have attended the University. That is a
splendid compliment and I know Otto believes it or he would not
have said it. Otte also tells me he thinks it is possible for
you to have a job on the playgrounds in 5t. Louis. If that is
the ease, and you will be in St. Louis, if I should have the oppor~
tumity to come that way this sumer, I will certainly stop by and
have a visit with you.
