Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Phog: Thank you for your letter of April 2, and i am glad to hear that you will be in Salina early enough to visit around with some of the boys here in Salina. We are making reservations for you at the Lamer Hotel as we contemplate that you intend to stay all night in Sealine and if not you will have the room anyway evailable for your use while you are here with us. The reason I did not write you before is because it was only yesterday that I procured the information on the various high school basket ball squad members and I am enclosing the information given to me by Coach Earl Morrison. In order that the person that introduces you can have a little information on yourself, I wish that you would send me some information as to how many years that you have been in the coaching game, how many years at Kmsas University, the number of champion teams thet you have turned out and any other information that you might have on yourself, because I feel that we have alot of fine prospects on the Salina High School Squad for the Kansas University and I do not want to leave any stones unturned in getting them to go to Kensas University. Looking forward to the pleasure of seeing you soon, I am Yoursvery truly ) DB: im
