Dear Doctor Allen:

When I was compiling the statistics you wanted on sports
participation today I was not certain whether you also wanted
the individual names of schools for the major sports. I have
checked off on our membership list the sports played in the
various schools, basketball being omitted because all schools
play basketball with the exception of the seven listed. The
total number of individual pupils participating in all sports
last year was 21,289. I am also enclosing a summary of former
years in case you wish to compare this year's results.

Erie Vanek is certainly making a big hit here in the short
time he has been on the job. Everyone speaks most highly of him
and I'm sure he's off to a good start. He and Mary can hardly
hold themselves until your first game and from what Ernie says
the boys appear to be capable of developing into one of your
better clubs in that long line of championship teams. Hope to
get down for some of the games!

Very cordially yours,
p
Delmar Curry
