| Dear Johnny:

Bey enjezet wy t7Ad to Lewrence vith Jack Metiaxé.

It has been a long time since I have had an opportunity
to visit with the boys in the house and we both enjoyed
it immensely.

I was very much impressed by this young man and think he
is an escellent rushee for the boys to consider for
1940. Might I suggest if you all are interested, thet
you write or call him, inviting him up for a weekend.

I think it would be smart to do this before the basketball
season is over and see that he gets up there Saturday
 tforning allowing him to be there while you beys have #e
‘practice, If it is pessible for him to accept your invi-

tation I would talk to Phog Allen and arrange it so he
could work out with you boys for a little bit. —

He was certainly impressed with Phog and I think we have
a good chance to get him te Kaneas by following this
_ ‘procedure. You know that would make a big impression
AP thie high school chap had a chance te es out with
oe The. college varsity. |

| On our return trip from the game he talked sore about you
‘than the rest of the men, consequently, I believe it best
Se ee a Oe Se et
Lawrence for a visit. Jack Ballard's addr
