HARRIS--SIDNEY F. HARRIS PUBLISHERS OTTAWA, KANSAS SIDNEY F. HARRIS EDITOR AND MANAGER 7 February 3, 1939. tr. F. G. Allen, Dear Sir: Upon reading the basketball story in the Colliers magazine of lest Friday, I cannot help but get aroused over the way eastern sports writers Kanone eserts in the middle west, especially basket-— ball. Having been born in Kansas and raised in Lawrence I am of the firm belief that the middle-west has the best basketball in the country, both from the standpoints of the game itself and from the fans' view- point. Having fumed about this artidd, and others of previous years which do the same thing, I feel that 1 want to do something about it. What I have in mind is an interview with you about the game as played here, as I feel euere could be no better authority. I would like to use Kansas univeristy and your own coaching career as the basis for a story. What I had in mind would include work of other coaches, such as those wno learned the game from you, and a little about Henry Iba; the record of “anses in conference and non conference competition; the record of the Big Six agaisnt outside foes; outstanding Kansas and Big Six players; how most members of AAU teams are players from middle- western schools. These and a few other points 1 feel would put up a strong argument for the game es vlayed in this part of the country. This may be an idle pipve-dream on my part, but I would st least like a try at it, and if I can write it well enough, I feel confident that the story will be used in Colliers or some other magazine. THE OTTAWA HERALD JOHN P. HARRIS--SIDNEY F. HARRIS PUBLISHERS OTTAWA, KANSAS SIDNEY F. HARRIS EDITOR AND MANAGER I have been reading Collier's sports articles for some time, ond they all imoress me as the work of some one who is a fair writer, but who does not have enough facts on which to base an accurate story. Maybe I feel strongly enough about this that the good Lord will provide the inspiriation for a good story. ““t least, I want the satisfaction of getting off my chest what I think each time i read one of the other stories. I don't know just when an interview could be arranged, as I nave to work every day except Sunday here. If you could suggest some time when you would be able to devote ang evening or a Sunday efternoon I will try to arrange my own work so as to make it. It really should be done soon, before the basketball season gets too far advanced. May I wish you success on the rest of the season, and hope that the Alma Mater can come through with another championship. From the looks of things so far, comvoetition has been a little tougher than in the years I attended K. U. Resvectfully, ; Don S. Huls.
