Dear Dr. Allen:

Your basketball success last Wednesday
and Thursday in Kansas City was very gratifying to all
of us. I want to congratulate you on the splendid way
in which you came through to win such merited honor and
recognition.

Here's wishing you the greatest success
in proving that Oklahoma and Iowa will not have a 'too
easy! time of it in taking Big Six honors this year.

I wish you a most happy and successful
New Year. ;

 

Sincerely yours,

A ae

Lee Corder.

Office of Education Physical Fitness Institute will be held in
Topeka, on March 7, 8, 9

Some of the speakers to be heard at the Institute will be on
the Central District Convention program. If you plan to attend
the Institute, it will be profitable for you to come to Topeka
Sunday and attend the Central District Convention just before
the Institutes There is a vital need now for the people in

the profession to share in a serious consideration of the pres-
ent status and trends in Physical Edueation, Health and Recre-
ations There is also a need for definite post war planning in
this fields

Whether you have some peofram to propose or you need ideas and
practical suggestions to help you with your own program, you
will find just what you are looking for at the Convention, In
the event you cannot be away from your work during the school
week you can get a great deal of help and inspiration by attend=
ing the Sunday meetings on March 5.

The Hotel Kansan will accept up to one hundred reservations for
the Convention,y but it is suggested that whenever possible rescr-
vations should be made for two or more in one room. Please make
your reservations early and state how long you intend to be in

formation, please write to me or to Miss Germaine Guiot, Iowa
