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

Dear Dr. Allens:

I have purposely delayed answering your kind letter of Oct-
ober 21, in which you invited mother and me to be your guests
at the Missouri-Kansas game to be played on Saturday, Nov-
ember 25, so that I might answer in an affirmative fashion
end also in detail.

Our plan at present is to leave here on Friday morning,
November 24, in time to reach Lawrence in the afternoon of
that day around 2 P.M. in order to attend the freshmen

and varsity basketball practices. In this way we will not
only get to see the battle between Chrisman and the Jay-_ .
hawkers but it will also afford me an opportunity to watch
one of your practice sessions which I have never had the
privilege of attending before.

Your description of the ball given by Flsa Maxwell sounded
very interesting. However, you needn't plan any social
activities for me along those formal lines «s we here in
Beardstown are accustomed only to eating, sleeping, and
hard work, consequently, any other activity that you might
have us indulge in will throw us off schedule and might
make us discontented here in Beardstown in the future.

You might tell John Buescher about our coming so that he

ean arrange to keep out of the hospital those few days and

also so I can see if he has shown any improvement with his
back-board game, shots from the side as well as improving

his foot work.

It has always been my impression that in the winter Law-
rence was the Capitol of =he nation in regard to basket-

‘ball and in the spring the center of track activity with

your own Kansas Relays, however, it seems as if your city
4s the center of activity during every season of the year
as our local papers have been full of the recent corn-
husking contest which was held there November 3 of this
year. With bang-boarding, back-boarding and relays you

are certainly fortunate to have such diversification
