Oct. 9, 1940 Dr. F.C.Allen, Physical Education Department University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kanse Dear Phog: After receiving your phone message yesterday we immed- lately wired the Medart Company to forward the two pair of backs and two pair of goals direct to the Robinson Gymnasium as per your request. We received their reply telegram this morning which they state as follows: "Will ship University of Kansas Backs and Goals Thursday afternoon October 10th." Apparently Phog, that is the best they can do and we should imagine that they would arrive in Lawrence either the llth, or not later than the morning of the 12the Hope these are in ample time for your requirements. Want to thank you very much indeed for the order and by the way hope you can make a basketball player out of Joe Elliott. He is a fine kid and has plenty of energy and if he gets interested I know he will try his best. With very best wishes and again thanking you for the order, remain. . JRE ea “It Pays to Play”
