Have Sollenberger from your Freshman squad to contact
Bill this vacation.Have one or two of our Alumni in
Hutchinson contact him.I am to darm poor to has arrange
a trip up to Lawrence my self and perhaps some one else §
Can help.Have Earl get busy,he and Biblsister are
that way about each other and certaily Earl could help.
And I will do my level best from here untill September.@
Bill will demand work, arrange a job in half year he
will be on his om if I am any Judge. Bill is straight

pr. Allen we have one real foot ball player

here.This boy is one of the best passers thie part 6: Ter eS Havraay,
the country has ever produced. I dont Imow who to Of the ON bushels
contact concerning this,but have taken the Liberty Wheat annually >
to enclose a clipping about him and sure would apprec ia tity other ah cs

it if it was turned over to the right party. He wishes ,nm...x
to go to K.U.

Please dont think I am begging too many jobs
for players,but I have followed sports for several
years and I believe I know these boys will make you
proud in a. couple years.

I have read where you was to make a talk at
the Banquet honoring the teams from Reno Younty. We
are just 10 miles from Hutchinson and I certainly
would like for you to arrange a little side trip here
and we could discuss these boys further,

Respectfully,

The ideal of these boys being together seems
to help some and it seems the ever wish of the fans
here that they could all go to K.U.

Dear Doctor,--

Your letter of the 5th inst. has just now been re- s
ceived. We are very glad to hear from you, and to know that you .
will be able and happy to take this young man and talk to him about .
the advantages of your system. “e

 

This boy's name is Gale Botts, nicknamed "Polly". Last
night, Mrs. Taylor was talking to his mother, and they are planning on
him being in Lawrence on Monday, the 15th of April, and I'll have Mrs.
Taylor bring him to your office. It will probably be in the morning,
as she will have plenty of time then, and it is quite early when they
get there.

Sb Una Le aaa viseney Bans tenes

We sincerely hope that you will be able to interest him
in going to school there. If we can ever get students to going to K. U.
once more it will help us get others interested in the future. We have
two boys there now, one Russell Mount, in the Pharmacy department, and
another is a pre medic, but he has been away for several years, so I
don't know whether he is there now or not. However this is a very strong
pro Kansas aggie town, and the faculty on the High School, and the Board
itself are much Pro Aggie, and they heve the children during the years
when they can formulate their desire for certain colleges.

Thanking you for your consideration in this matter, I

Dear Doctori--

The writer of this letter is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Kansas, LLB '26, and I doubt very much if you will re-
call me, but I worked for a couple of years in the ofiice of Mr. Dill,
Director of Publicity.

However, whet I wish to write to you about is the fact
that we have a young lad here in high school, who hes his heart on
studying to be a basketball coach, and is very desirous of going to
Ke U. He is a fair player, but probsbly not up to the type neces-
sary to succeed there due to a leg injury suffered several years agoe
However, he is quiite interested, and in view of the fact that none
of our students from here have gone there of late years, he would
like to look the school over before making up his mind finally.

What I have in mind is this. My wife plans on attending
the State Convention of the Order of the Eastern Star on April 15, 16 and
17th, meeting in Lawrence. This young man would be willing to go down
at that time and talk the situation over with you if possible. My wife
would be able to take him around over the cempus as she was graduated
from there in 1927. The young man can make the trip as his folks are
railroad employees, and the cost would not bee much.

What I am interested in is getting some of the boys from
here going to K. U. instead of Kansas State. For instance Kansas State
has Swanson, their football end, a graduate of this school here; the
Kansas State freshman Basketball team had Koons who received a numeral,
and who undoubtedly will also get his numeral in baseball this spring.

What I would like to know is whether or not you would be
willing to meke an appointment to meet this young man, endtalk the situation
over with him, and whet he wishes to do in the future?

Thanking you for a prompt reply, I em,

Very truly yours
