Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allens It was a pleasure to learn from Mr. Glen W. Fawcett that the University of Kansas Basketball Team is scheduled to come East for a series of games about December 28th. We should like nothing better than to have the team make its headquarters at the Commodore during their visits to New York and suggest for your con- _Sideration the assignment of very large and attractive twin—bedded rooms each with private bath at the special athletic rate of $2.50 per person. We should be happy to assign for the accommodation of the coach or manager an attractive suite consisting of a large parlor connecting twin-bedded room and bath at the same rate. You may rest assured that should the Commodore be designated as your headquarters, every attention and courtesy will be extended all the members of the team while with us and everything possible done to make their stay with us as pleasant as possible. May we be of service. ‘Very truly yours, THE COMMODORE ,4— ublic f Director attons Department WDCLleary/vg
