Dear Coach Allen:

Last year a number of college coaches attended the College
All-Star Basketball Game; and while we were able to extend
them courtesy tickets, the seats were not as choice as we
would have liked to have given them, The reason for this

is that before we had received word from many of the coaches
that they would be here, we had already sold out the Chicago
Stadium, and had to make emergency arrangements for a number
of the coaches.

If you are planning on attending the College All-Star Game
this’ year, we would appreciate your advising us by return
mail, and also, if anyone is going to be with you so that we
may dispatch immediately choice courtesy tickets.

Another reason that we would like to know early is that in
the event sufficient coaches are going to be present, we wish
to reserve a nice lounge and meeting room in the Morrison
Hotel which will be headquarters for basketball coaches and
attendants. We would have this room set aside for November
30 and December 1, so that the various coaches in town would
have a common meeting place,. making it easy for them to see
each othere

We also intend to have a cage coaches’ party by the All-Star
committee and would like to have an idea of how many will be
ee May we lock forward to hearing from you by return
mail

Sincerely,

ry alli Sn

WILSON, Director
