June 27th, 1941

Mr. Ed Hall
Sublette, Kansas

Dear Ed:

_ Thank you for your good letter of the 24th instant.
I would like to talk with you and Otto on the proposition of his
not going fraternity right away. Also, if he does not want to go
out for football I believe I can arrange it so he can make his expenses
more easily than if he goes out for both football and basketball.

Many of the football men are not able to go out for
other sports on account of the higher specialized sport taking so much
time and since basketball is similar to this as a time-taker, I believe
that I have an arrangement whereby Otto can make it.

Of course, if Vic Hurt would take him, I would be glad
for that arrangement to happen. But, I do not want Vie to think that
I'm asking him to take some of my men on his football load. You can
rest assured that I will see Otto through. I will arrange for his
board and room and his work. But of course if he goes fraternity then
they will expect him to work and also to pay fraternity dues besides
board and room. When this is all figured up, the boy doesn't have time —
enough to work.

If he sticks to one sport and doesn't go fraternity his
first year, I'm sure that we can arrange it. And then after he is located
if some fraternity wants to take him and give him a job and they will |
permit him to carry his other work, then well and good.

My plan is to take Otto under my wing, guide him and
advise with him just as I would one of my own youngsters. If that arrange-
ment can be made, I'm very sure that he will be happy here and I will see
that he gets a full college life with none of the dissappointments that
a boy has when he comes unguided and sometimes uncared for.

| I hope you can come up, Ed, because you, Otto and I can
discuss matters which will be for Otto's good and Otto will have confidence
that these things will be done, especially if you're able to accompany him.
‘With all good wishes, I an,
Sincerely yours,
Director of Fhysical Education and

Recreation-Varsity Basketball and
Baseball Coach.

Mr. Otto Scharllbacher
Sublette, Kansas

Dear Otto:

I'm happy to have your good letter of the 24th
instant and to learn that you plan to come up the first of
August. Yes I will be here and shall be happy to see you.

Now don't let anyone pack you up in a car and take
you out of Kansas. I kmow you're going to be so much happier
here than in any other State. I'm happy to have you make your
decision for the University of Kansas. I know you'll never regret
it and I want you to be wearing a Jayhawker uniform.

Here is one thought that I want you to ponder on,

Otto, and that is this: There has never been but one boy that's
played three years on a Kansas Varsity basketball team from 1922
until 1941, inclusively, that is not wearing a gold basketball.
And some of them are wearing three. This boy, Russell "Rub"
Thompson dropped out of school and came back on one of our lean
years. So, I want you, Otto, to be one of those for twenty
straight years who will be wearing a Big Six Championship gold
basketball.

Give Eddie Hall my kindest regards. I think he is a
great fellow and one of the best athletes that we ever had. I
have always been especially fond of him. He is clean, courageous,
and an all-around-good-fellow.

Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education
and Recreation-Varsity Basketball
and Baseball Coach.

Mr. Vernon Sivertsen,

Tear Vernon:

Pardon my delay in not answering your good letter
of July 24th sooner. Our summer session closed soon after
I received your letter and being in the midst of the closing
of school hindered me somewhate

Tt would not be possible for me to aid anyone in >
avoiding tuition. However, if a boy could have a relative
legally adopt him, naturally that individual would not have |
to pay out-of-state tuition. I told Wilfred Thompson that
there was one boy adopted here by ea lawyer, but they did not
have my aid or cooperation, and I was merely telling hin
' what happened and not suggesting thet boys do such a thing
unless it was the desire of the femily and the relatives.

I would be glad to help you in any way possible,
but you can wumdorstand that it would not be up to me to
take a part in this unless the boy and the family were

anxious to carry through this projects

Board can be had here for $5.00 per week, and rooms
will be $8 and $10 a month eccording to the location. ‘The
tuition is $150,00 ea year, and the chances for a job ere
goods But of course a boy cennot expect to go to school
full time end earn over $20.00 a month.

I am sending you a pamphlet on physical education
end I am asking that the University meil you a catalog.
This week I am leaving for Boone, Iowa, where I engage in
a coaching school with Clark Shaughnessy, Bernie Bierman,
-and Henry Tha in teaching football end basketball to the Towa
High School Athletic Coaches Association. I expect to return
to Lawrence some time around — 25rd I will be happy to
hear from yous ; :

high school and she should be hearing before Friday of this
weeks

: The jobs are allocated this next Friday end if your
principal has not sent them in be sure that you have him do
so with e special delivery stamp on the envelope so that she

will receive it on or before Friday. I would suggest that
you address it to Miss Wilson at the NYA office here at the

University.

your grades are as good as you say they are I see no reason

It seems as if I cannot arrange my teaching work and
my recreation work in the evenings so that I can run down to
Kansas City much before August Sth, but I will certainly count
on doing thet just as soon as school is out, and contact Ed
Sayers. ee

I will contact Yommy Van Cleave before that so that
arrangements will be made so that I can see him at 8 convenient
time to Bd Sayers. At that time I hope to say “hello” to you and®

Mr. Glenn "Ducky" Teel
Caldwell, Kansas

Dear "Ducky" t

I have just finished talking to Arnold's
Market and find that they are not quite certain as

to what boy they will hire. They have a young boy

there nemed Harwood who is attending the University

and if he comes back to school at the University, doubt-
less they will take him on. I called Hunter Bros., but
Wr. Hunter will not be back until late this afternoon.
Then I called Mr. Landreth and he stated thet he had also
received a letter from you but he had not angwered it as
yet but he was going to tell you when he wrote, for you
to come in and ses him when you get to town.

 

He hires several boys each year and I feel
pretty certéin thet you will get a job at this place if
you please him. He is a fine gentleman and has three
wonderful children, two of whom have finished with excep-
tionally fine honors in the University and the third one
was an outstanding student in High School. So, I believe
you have good prospects there.

As I suggested, I would come up a.little early so that
you can be one of the first on the ground. The old adage, "The
early bird catches the worm", is still true.

With best wishes to you and all of our good Caldwell
friends, I am,

Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation-
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
