Dear Doc.::

I want to thank you for the fine demonstration which you put on
last Tuesday night. “We have heard others say and believe that this
was the finest demons tration of paerete fundamentals that the
Kansas City area has ever witnessed. Please convey my sincere thanks _
and appreciation to your team members which participated in this |
clinic. The Chief is writing you and thanking you for the committee
but I couldn't help but write to express my feelings for the grand
manner in which you put this affair over..

- TM no promoter Doc. Like the sports editor at the Kansas City
Kansan said, Wrou advertise this thing my word of mouth and you'll
have too many people for the YMCA gym.'"’ When you've got some thing
that the people know is the real thing, like the show you gave them
Tuesday night, you don't need a promoter..
at really felt like there was a purpose in this clinic for I feel —
| like the YMCA is a place where better basketball could be taught 3
the youngsters of grade school age.. Thanks to you and your team
meubers, men ike J. F. .Wellemeyer and W.A..Bailey were hearty in
their: praise of the clinic and the work in which the YMCA’ is atten
3 ing to do.. Hoping some day that I might be of some service to you,

T remain, your supporter,
