Mr. Gwinn Henry,
Director of Athletics,
University of Kansas.

Dear Gwinn:

Anticipating that there may not be another meeting of
the Athletic Board soon after basketball season, and desiring to get
the names of the boys before the Athletic Board for recommendation of
varsity basketball letters, I am making the recommendation in advance.
_ Doubtless the board may not desire to make public their action until
after basketball season.

I wish to recosmend for varsity letters this year:

+ John Buescher
/ Ray Bvans
2 Charles Black
“4, Otto Schnellhacher
J Armand Dixon
- & Harold MoSpadden
7 Jack Ballard,
Paul Turner
9 Hoyt Baker
Bill Brill —
Y Max Kissell
/o Robert Pitspatrick —
Don Blair
George Dick
William Forsyth
John Short

John Short has bee called to the Air Corps and so has.
Charlie Black, but Charlie has béen deferred on acoomt of illness.
It is my understanding that all of the boys in the Army Reserve Corps,
and that takes the majority of them, together with Charlie Black, will
be called on or before March &th.

On account of the very excellent record and fine morale

of this splendid group of boya I em recommending this large number
for the exceptional athletic service that they have rendered in basket~

Very cordially yours,

Varsity Basketball Coach.
