AND Dear Dr. Allens:

eee It is indeed a pleasure to look forward to our visit with
COAL you next week and especially to learn that you have added
the Varsity-Freshman game as an added feature on Saturday
November 24 as @ part of your homecoming program. Mother
hes never seen a college basketball team in action and I
am sure that she is looking forward with a great deal of

GASOLINE interest to your entertainment on that evening. As for
FUE myself your clinic will brush me up on current develop-
VEL OIL ments of basketball as we here in Beardstown know nothing
DISTILLATE about the game with the exception of out scoring the other
fellow and that two points ere allowed for field shots
BULK STATION and one point for free throws.

I thoroughly understand the reason for your requirement
pertaining to freshmen and varsity basketball players
maintaining e "C" average in their work before being el-
AIR CONDITIONED igible for playing basketball under your guidance. Many
ICE times during the past summer I stressed the point of
eligibility to our protege, John Buescher, so perhaps
REFRIGERATORS if he doesn't make the pull by Thanksgiving time it will
wake him up and make him study during the remainder of
evar the semester. After all the members of your squad go
to school for «en education as well es athletic vartici-
pation and by your setting down rigid academic require-
COAL ments they will not only be benéfitted while they are at
STOKERS the University of Kansas but elso in years to come.

We are now planning to arrive in Lawrence about 4 P.M.
By aa as this later start will give me an opportunity to clean
off my desk after the usuel rush over the Thanksgiving

OIL BURNERS holidays.

With best wishes to you and your family we are anxiously
awaiting Friday morning to roll around.

Very Sincgrely,
