April 8, 1946 Mr. Gerald K. Barket High School Great Bend, Kansas Dear Mr. Barks’ - I em just getting around to answering your letter of the llth of Marche — | | : I appreciate very much the fact that you are interested in K.U. basketball enough to send me the information concerning the better boys in the Regional Tournament. I shall guaranty that we shall do everything in our power to encourage these young athletes into coming to KeU. The tournament was scouted by oné of our men and we have the dope in fairly good shape. We are just as sorry as you are that we did not send the Aggies back to the foothills convinced that this year is strictly Kansas; however, we are looking forward to our three games with them next winter. I can assure you that they will have everything they can possibly take care of. - Thanks again for your always kind cooperation. Sincerely yours, 7 =~ Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach.
