Alien University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I've delayed answering your request for six copies of The Sporting News which carried Charlie Black on our All-America team, for we have run short of this issue and Will fill your order as soon as some returns from newsstands come in. That should be within a day or two. I'm pleased to know you read this feature or at least heard about it. I hope you enjoyed the story about yourself written some weeks ago anent our conversation in St. Louis. The Sporting News was pleased with the reaction to its first venture into basket ball, but, we hope more coaches will come to read it regularly. In this connection, we're pleased to send you these six copies free of charge. If you ever find a spare moment, why not drop a short note to Mr. J. G. Taylor Spink complimenting the Sporting News on its basket ball coverage-- that's if it deserves such praise. We could then give this a bit of publicity and would consider it mighty fair payment for the favor of six copies. Hoping the idea meets your approval, I an, Sincerely yours, Se er Ss Lf bills Foue relinus Canin av drese begerg We Vl | ama << Dual Le
