Caterpillar PEORIA &, ILLINOIS March 16, 1946 Mr. Phog Allen Basketball Coach Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: Here at Caterpillar Tractor Co., we have had for many years an extensive activities program, including such major sports as basket- ball, baseball and softball. The expense of this program is taken care of entirely by the Caterpillar Employees Activities Association and all Caterpillar employees and their families are admitted free to any part of our program. In basketball we play all top-notch teams, such as Phillips N66", Allen-Bradley of Milwaukee and outstanding University and Service teams. On two different occasions our team reached the quarter finals in the National A.A.U. Tourmament at Denver. As basketball coach, you understand I am interested in getting good ball players who are qualified to come here and work et our plant as "Caterpillar" employees. Each year we employ a nomber of engineering graduates, who, after a training period, enter our Research, Engineering, Sales, or other Departments needing Engineers. If you have any seniors in Engineering, or Engineers returning from military service, who would also be the calibre of player that would be an asset to our basketball club, I would certainly appreciate having you put me in touch with them so that an interview might be arranged. Thanking you for any favors you see fit to grant us, I remain, Sincerely, Marvin Hamilton Basketball Coach Caterpillar Tractor Co.
