Dear Vie:

i am enclosing a Transeript of Credit here for
Kenneth Tipps from Central High Sehool, Oklahoma City.

: Kemneth went out to Cklahoma City University
for a few weeks last fall, but he left school as soon as
football season was over and didn't complete any of his
courses there. The feotball coach out there has a record
of his scholastic activities and wanted him to pay $70.00
before he would release his transcript. I told him simply
to get a transcript from Central High School and he would |
get by on that. a

We have worked this boy all summer and he has
made an outstanding success in the work we have placed
him in. I believe, in school, you will find him a very
valuable basketball player and would probably work into
an end om your football squed. He had a knee operation
several years ago and I suggest you look him over thoroughly
as you might want to use him for basketball exclusively.
He was an all-state casketball player for Oklahoma. Ue is
the boy I wanted Dr. Allen to some down and meet, and. I
believe if you will turn him over to Pog when he gets te
school that he would be most happy. Ee is keener on basket-
ball than football and has a sreat admiration for Fog. He
will arrive at school with approximately $100.00 saved from
summer work and wil] need a job and guidanse to enable him
to stay in school and will also need counsel aa to what
studies he should pursue.

Please advise me what date school will open and
what date he should repert and te whom so that I may give
him this information. ?

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards,

Yours truly,
