Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doctor Allen:

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the many
courtesies and favors you extended to me during the past basket-
ball season. I can also assure you that the Wyandotte High
School Basketball Team and their coach, Ashley Elbl, deeply
appreciate your kindness towards them.

At the present time I expect Kenneth Thompson and Mike
Vargon of Wyandotte High School and Larry Smith, James Gooding
and Vince Deitchman of the Kansas City, Kansas Junior College,
all to attend the University of Kansas next fall. These boys
all appear to be good basketball material.

In the very near future I will try to get as many of these
boys as I can to come up to Lawrence and talk to you.

I have been fortunate in getting Bill Brill a job at the
American Walnut Company here in this city. He told me that he
had a very fine talk with you and he is all set to go back to
the University next fall.

I will appreciate hearing from you in regard to any sug-
gestions or observations you might have in regard to the
players I have mentioned, as I realize you have some excellent
ideas that I would not think of in securing the desired results.

Yours Axruly
