Coach Phog Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Coach Allen:

The Detroit K. U. Alumni want to know if it would be
possible for you to speak at their annual meeting some time after the
first of the year at a time that would be convenient to yourself. I
understand that any such speaking date would have to be squeezed in
between scheduled games on the basketball schedule but if you would
give it some thought, we up here would certainly appreciate it. Any
evening you could come would be convenient ## with us for we would
arrange our meeting accordingly. These is really no one at K. U. whom
so many of us would like so much to hear and see.

There are 212 Alumni up here not including Ann Arbor
and many of them, like Bob Mosby, are old friends of yours. I was talling
to Duke Kennedy about you today and we agreed that there was no one at
Ke Ue so well known and well liked over so long a period as yourself.

You wouldn't remember me for I was on the track team, a comparatively
minor sport, but I will always remember the thrills qnd excitement

the basketball games gave me when I was at school. You were just start-
ing to produce Missouri Valley Champiogs then.

There is no need for you to answer this request promptly.
When the schedule has been completed and you can see what the lay of the
land is, will be time enough. We are deep in war work up here but not
too deep to still think of K. U.

Yours very sincerely

Robert R. Fisher, e'll.

President, Detroit K.U. Alumni Association
for 1942.
