Dear Fog;

There is a young man from McPherson who plans to attend Kansas
University when he gets out of the service. He is quite anxious
to know whether or not he will be eligible to participate
because he has a contract with the New York Yankees. Ina
try out a few years ago, he was the only one selected out of
300 participants at Kansas City. He has not received any pay,
nor did he receive a boms for signing. Does this make him
, ineligible?

He is an outstanding student making mostly A grades and was an
outstanding athlete of McPherson High School, especially basket-
ball. His name is Lt. Vance Carison. I am sure hé would make
you a valuable player and one of the very féw McPherson basket-
ball players that I have felt would make your squad. His
parents are wealthy enough, I believe, that he will be able

to go to school without financial help.

Please let me know as soon as possible as he and his father are
quite anxious to know whether he will be eligible to participate.

Sincerely yours,

O. Wek lhcb
