Salina, Kansas
25 August 1945

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

Dear Mr. Allen:

Gene and I would be glad to see you whenever you
are in Salina. As Gene may have told you, he has not been
able to definitely plan on going to college as he will be
eighteen years old September 22, 1945. Also he is 6 feet
5-3/4 inches in height, which may or may not bar him from
entering the Armed Forces.

Dan Bolen may have told you that Gene will need
assistance to go to college, which may increase during the
reconversion period. However, the main object, of course,
is to complete his education.

Gene feels as I do, that, if he has the ability

to play good basketball, he would like to go to Kansas
University where coaching and records are the best. ©

Thank you for your kind interest.

Sincerely yours,

Carl Anderson
