Dear "Doc

I was glad to receive your letter finding out that you
had written to Paul Walker. I will certainly do my best
in gettinghim up for the Relays. I'll see to it that the
boys out at the A.T.O. house take care of him over the
week-end, so he will not have any expense there. You
probably want to know a little more about hin,

He is probably one of the finest athletes to graduate from
North High. Paul is not only an athlete, but a darn good
student in school. By the looks of his grades, he will
make the National Honor Society. Has parents are swell,
lin, Walker is a K.U. graduate, an old baseball player.

Paul is 6'2" tall and weighs about 185 lbs. He is the
hardest working boy I ever hope to have the pleasure to
work with. He made the end position on the All State
Football team that was selected by the Topeka Capitol.
In basketball I played him at a guard position. ffe was
a mid-semester student, so I lost him at the end of the
first term, He is now taking some post graduate work,
and helping me out with my second team,

You see Paul had only played two games of basketball

before he entered high school. Through his hard work aad
determination, he has become a darn good ball player.

He still lacks the ability of being able to relax out there
on the floor, but he was rapidly over coming his tensenesess,
I certainly wish I could have had him for another year.

You see he is only 17 years old.

"Doc" I think in another years time he will develop into
a swell ball player,
