I called at your offiee several times but was never fortunate enough to find you. I will be forced to work outside for most of my expenses, but I would like very much to play basketball. . I think perhaps I shall get a job under Bud Owens at the Student Union fountain--a word from you might help a great deal. If not, I'm hoping for an N.Y.A. job. Here's a few words about me, and I'll eome to your office to see you arounf Sept. 9th. I played four years 6? 4.6; basketball, forward, 11 point average last two years. I attended Jr. College one year in California ‘but ecireumstances did not allow me to go out for athleties. - Family finanees and attempts at West Point and Annapolis (both failed because of slight dental defects) have kept me at home the past three years. During this time I have played forward with an independent amateur -o- team, the Attiea All-Stars. We were in a league with such towns as Kingman, Anthony, Wellington, Harper, Argonia, and Bluff City. We won the league the first year, co-shamps the second year, and second this year. As a reguiar | forward, I have had a 10 point average with this team. I. am 5' 10 1/2" tall, weigh 156 stripped. Both teams I have played with have been whole team players and not individual stars. | If ok ean see fit to help me get work that will allow me to come out for freshman basketball, I shall greatly appreciate it; and I'll be looking forward to meeting you in September.

Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Mr. Allen: This summer I have been working rather hard. My parents left Emporia the latter part of June and I am trying to make the necessery arrangements so I may attend N.U. this fall. I am planning to attend B.U. this fall and will be up there the third of September to take the ten day training course for cooks of the Co-op houses for next winter. I heve applied for N.Y.A. work for next winter and if it is at all possible I will have to make at least twenty dollars a month to meet my expenses there. If you could éffer me any advice on this matter I would appreciate it. T am afraid that I will be unable to come to Lawrence before September as I will start to work as soon as school is out and will be working all the time from then on. I am getting rather anxious to start pieying playing a little basket ball again. In making the all state class B team I am afraid I was a little over rated, but I do feel that with continued work I could develop into K.U. basket ball material. and would like very much to cdo that. I certainly do appreciate the interest you have taken in my problem and will eppreciate anything you might be able to do in regard to it, a
