Director of Physical Education

Dear Dr. Allen:

We had a meeting yesterday evening of Fred Winter, director
of athletics for the local high schools, Ira Carrithers, Gurney
Day, physical director for the ¥.M.C.A., and myself to discuss
the plans for your afternoon meeting with the boys of Cedar Rapids
at the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. Fred Winter suggested that the high
school basketball boys and the coaches had all asked that you con-
duct a basketball clinic at this meeting and they have offered to
have enough boys suited up for two teams so you could use them as
guinea pigs for your demonstration.

I told the boys I had not discussed this with you other than
that I had asked if you would address a group of boys at the Y.M.C.A.
in the afternoon and you had given your consent. Therefore, I told
them I would write to see if you would prefer the clinic type of

‘meeting for the afternoon from four to five rather than just a talk.

We, of course, will be able to arrange whichever type of meeting
suits you best.

We appreciate you are giving this afternoon talk because of
your interest in boys, as it was not discussed with you originally
when 1 wrote you about the all-sports dinner. However, Franklin
High School of Cedar Rapids recently won second place in the high
school state tournament for Iowa and this town is very basketball-
minded, and Il am sure you will be doing basketball a fine service
in whatever type of meeting you prefer for the afternoon.

The Lions Luncheon Club have invited you and I to have luncheon
with them on Thursday, but I have told them that you are not making
a speech as we have already booked you for more than we should ask
of you during one day. They do want you to attend the luncheon, how-
ever, and I thought you might enjoy it as Fred Winter, Ira Carrithers
