Mr. Forrest C. Allen, Director,

University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansaso

Deer Mr. Allen:

It was very nice of you to write me under date of October 8th advising
me of the status of Engleman and your boy, Bob with reference to the
All-Star Basketball squade As you suggest, we will keep them both. in
the polling because they are making excellent races for a place on the
squad and both are receiving very favorable comment from criticse

As far as Engleman is concerned, I think he would be foolish to pass up
the All-Ster game, even though engaged with Phillips, because it would
in no way interfere with his continuing to pley with Phillips inasmch
as the event will be sanctioned by the AsAeU. I am sure Phillips will
be glad to give him a leave of absence toearnthe signal honor of par-
ticipating in this Classic event. However, we will contact him direct
and see what the prospects arée :

I can understand easily that it would be a problem for Bob to get away
from his studies, as Jim Ray of Michigan had the same difficulty last
year when he was taking his medical course at that college. We will
drop a letter to Bob at the University of Pennsylvania, and perhaps
there may be something he will be able to do in the event of his se-
lection.

At any rate, thanks again for your very thoughtful interest and cooper~

atione
Sincerely, |
Lye

HARRY D. WILSON, Director,
College All-Star Basketball Came,
