‘September 26, 1941.

Mr. Frank E. Strickler, Principal,
Lene Community High School,
Dighton, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Strickler:

I beg to acknowledge reesipt of your very
kind favor of the 22nd instant. I deeply apprec-
iate your invitation to conduct a clinic at Dighton,
but I am not sure of my dates at the present time.

I am planning tentatively to be et Dodge City
on December 11 and 12, and on Decasber 18th we are
piaying a game with Bethel College at Newon, Fansas,
dedicating their fine new fieldhouse. It would be
a near impossibility to take the boys away from
school for a clinic. I have never done that, except.
during vacation time, because the boys are here pri-
marily for study, and it is suicidal to teke them
eway from school any more than is absolutely necessary.

We are also playing et Wichita ‘on Pebruary énd,
and I em wondering if you would care to bring your boys
to observe either our game at Wichita or at Newton.

I have written Principal Toalson to determine

definitely the dates for his clinic. I shall be g
to write you further after I hear from hin.

Very sincerely yours,

Direstor of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA: AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
