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

Dear Doctor Allen:

I want to express my thanks for your cooperation in securing
tickets for Coach Ashley Elbl, his assistant coach, and the first
ten basketball players of Wyandotte High School to the Kansas-
Nebraska basketball game. .

Coach Ashley Elbl has again requested tickets for the Kansas-
Kansas State basketball game as he would like to take his first
ten basketball players and his assistant coach to this game. This
would make a total of 12 tickets. |

As you know, I do not like to request complimentary tickets
for anybody for any game as I believe if any person wants to see
a game they could afford to pay for the ticket. However, in order
to get the athletes of Wyandotte High School interested in the
University of Kansas some means must be arranged whereby .we can
get them acquainted with the University, not only athletically
but with some of the personalities who are members of the insti-
tution. It means a great deal to get a head start on the other
universities and colleges which will be bidding for the services
of these boys. You, of course, know that competition between col-
leges and universities to secure desirable athletes is becoming
keener than ever.

I sincerely hope you are successful in your coming games.
