Dear Mr. Allen:

We are interested in conducting a Basketball Clinic this
year that will be similar to the one held at Vodge City last year.

Through conversation with Mr. Lawrence Stanton, Basketball
Coach ‘at Dodge VYity we learn that you may be the instructor for
the 1941-42 clinic at Dodge bity.

What would be your charges to conduct one here at Dighton
for the W.K.E.A League, if we could have our clinic at a date
that could permit you to conduct the two clinics on the same trip?*
Will you bring your players so that we could have a demonstration
from them and also an exhibition game the night of the one day
clinic? If this were possible we could be able to attract about
tem teams for the clinic, consisting of eight: teams within the league
and two teams outside. Hosington and Vakley would be willing to
participate I am sure. We could also attract a large crowd to the
exhibition game at night. In my opinion this would “be a nice way
of advertising Kansas University! s athletic department to future
prospective students found in this section of the state.

Our playing facilities are very good, consisting of a floor
space of fifty by seventy five feet, very high ceiling, four modern
dressing rooms with an adjoining building that could be used as a
dressing room if necessary, and we have the new type goals.

Please send us all information as to price and time if you are
able and would like to conduct our clinic, Thank you,

FES /he ue F. EB. Strickler
