Dr. Forest Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I imagine you will think it is strange for a Missourian to
write you asking for a favor, but I am doing just that.

Of course, it might be my own selfishness but I am very
interested in seeing you and Missouri play the Naval Cadets
and the Great Lakes in a double header here in the Auditorium.
I believe it would be a great drawing card (thet is, if
Missouri is better than they were last year) and would give
Kansas City some great entertainment.

Being on the Board at the Auditorium, I have talked to
Dorman O'Leary, who is also on the Board, and he feels
very enthusiastic about the possibilities.

I realize, Doctor, due to the fact that you had a great

team last year, you will, no doubt, have a greater team

this year and would be a better drawing card than Missouri

but we Missourians here feel that we have been pretty loyal

to you in the tournaments inwhich you have participated

and feel it would be a great thing for both schools to
participate under the same program.

As I understand it, it is entirely in your hands and I certainly
hope you will be kind enough to allow us to participate with
you. I remain

Very sincerely

edie
