Dear Coach Allen,

I have on my basketball team, a senior,
Andrew Goedert, who in the estimation of the
followers of basketball in Southeast Missouri,
is one of the best ever developed in this
section.

I ean assure you that Goedert is a fine
student and will have no scholastic difficulties
in college. He is 19 years old, 5 feet 10
inches tall, weighs around 155 pounds, which is
small for most teams, however, his shooting
ability from any angle is hard to match. His
"fight", mixed with good jumping legs, account
for many points batted in on men several inches
taller than he. He is an excellent defensive
player and can step 100 yards in close to 10
seconds.

If you are interested in this boy I would
appreciate a reply and, if you wish to check on
his ability, I recommend you to any coach or
referee in this section.

This is his fourth year as a regular on the
Essex Hi team. Two of these years, his first
and third, he, almost singlehanded, took our
team to the State Tourney, and is at present
enjoying his best season.

Yours truly,

Wilson Langley, Coach
