Dear Dre Allen:

In answer to your letter of November 1, I was glad to know that
we can definitely count on your cooperation in this tournament.

The eight teams that I am in contact with at the present time
are: Washburn;"K. a Emporia Teachers, Southwestern? Baker; Nebre; Colo. State; .
Ottawa; and Wichita. I really believe these teams will make a nice
start for our tournament. :

I am sure that if we get this started this year, that other
teams will be interested in coming. I am sure Kansas State will
enter in another year; also Creighton will be interested in another
year Or SO-e

As to your clinic on December 9, I have just received a letter
from Artie Hilers, saying that our conference meeting will be held
at Kansas City, December 9 and 10. If this is true, it will be almost
impossible for me to be at your clinic. It is too bad that these
meetings cannot be held on the same days As I understand it, the
Big Six are holding their meeting this year on the second of December
I think your plan is very fine and would be glad to cooperate in any
way possible if the date could be so arranged so as not to conflict
with the meeting in Kansas City.

Very truly yours,

Dee Errickson
Basketball Coach
