Lawrence,

Dear Sir:

In a news story by the United Press which has been called to my

attention, it was pointed out that the Kansas team "has the only known

prayed-for outfib in the nation."

The story says that an old Negro woman who cooks for three of your

players prays for the success of the team before each game.

If possible, we would like to have sent to us a picture of this

Negro woman as she does her praying with the boys she cooks for nearby.

Please let me know if it will be possible to get this photo.
