Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
Varsity Basket Ball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

After reading the paper this morning in which I

read of your great game with A. & M., I received

a telegram from John Buescher and the Basketeerse
They have invited me to see them play against
Colorado on Friday night, but since I am call

by the U. S. Navy, it almost seems impossible
for me to attende Regardless, be sure to give
your former pupil another lessone

Since leaving Lawrence I have placed myself on a
rigid diet and excercise programe During the
past three weeks I have lost 18 pounds, and now
weigh 186; besides my rubber tire belt line has
disappearede

I certainly appreciated your writing Gene Tunney
for mee At present the Navy Air Corps is in need
of business executive material, consequently, my
application is now on fit@, and I am waiting to
hear from theme

Will be thinking of you and the team on Friday
and Saturday nights. On Friday, the 20th, I will
be twenty-eight years old, and no other present
would please me better than a victory over C. U.
My best to Mrs. Allen, Mary, and family.

Sincerely

/
