Dear Dr. Allen:

The MePherson Rebounders club is planning a banquet for our
high school and Me¥he rson college basketball squads the night of
Mareh 26 and several of the members have approached m on the matter
of a speaker. I am writing you on that subject.

As you undoubtedly know our Rebounders elub is composed of McYherson
business men who are interested in sports, particularly basketball. We
gather once a week to eat together and to discuss cage teams and
their records throughout the state. I can assure you that the KU squad
comes in for plenty of talk as McPherson is well populated with loyal |
KU gradse

Out club is a loose-lmit affair, without dues and without a
treasury. We would like nothing better than to have you be the
principal speaker at our banquet honoring our local cagers, but
unfortunately we are a little on the lean side for funds. I am not
familiar with your practice in making trips for speeches but would
like very much to hear from you as to your policy of trip expenses,
etc., should you find March 26 an open date on your calendar. I can
then present to the club a report on the situation,

*hanking you in advance, I am,

Most Sincerely

Edward oh N alli
Chief Rebounder
McPherson, Kansas
P.S. We have a benior in high school here who may bear looking into as

a future college cage stare
