Mr. Forrest ©, Allen,
Basket-ball Coach,
Kansas University.

Dear Mr, Allen,

The purpose of this letter is to introduce myself, and
to make known my interest in attending your school. I am
Chatles Green, a graduate of Joplin High School this past
month, and have tried to be as active as possible as far as
athleties go in the schools program,

I am planning to enter some school this next year, and
I have not as yet decided where it will be, and I am deeply
interested in your school for it is rated verf highly. 1
have lettered for four years in high school basket-ball and
two years in track and one in football. I Was fortunate
enough to play as a regular on the Joplin High state champions
basketball tham this year, and was lucky enough to land a
berth on the all-state team at a guari.

ly father is a Methodist minister, and he at present lives
in Niangua, Missouri, and as you know a minister does not have
the best of financial support, and 1 am wondering if I attended
your school that I could find some sort of work or financial
aid, I am sure that my parents can not see my way clear to
bear my expenses in a University.

The past year and at the present, I have been employed
at the Y. M. C. A. here in Joplin to earn my room, and have
tried to work elsewhere to bear my expenses. At present I
am hunting employment for the summer vacation.

I feel sure that I can attend the Junior College here in
Joplin, or some of the Colleges here in the state, or even the
University of Missouri, but I feel that if I advance to the
degree of efficiency that I wish to attain in Basket-ball,

that I could find it in your school.
