Dr. F. G. Allen,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doctor Allen:

For quite some time I have intended writing you regards
various items, mainly basketball. So since I delayed till the
season is over, I will just wish it all in one lump sum, and say
that I am happy that you won the BsixX the way you did and also for
the fine all-around season you had. |

I watched every game with great interest and many others
here did the same as KU has plenty on the ball when it comes to
baskteball interest in this section of the universe.

Of course I was more than usual interested since Max was asking me
all the while to send him all the 'dope' I could, which I did.

Too, I am hoping muchly that you can win the game at KC the
18the I feel it will be a great game and hope we can pull thru
as I want Kansas to be in on the play-offs there Mch. 22=25. a
KU is playing then I hope to get down to see those four games.

 

We have a number of people in KC this week seeing the games
now under way. Our Bb coach and starting five boys left for there
today and will see the games from now on till finish. We are
partly financing them as we feel it a good move for the boys, all
of whom are great fans and fairly good players. —

By the way, is it of any interest to you to know of some of the
ood Hi senior boys out this way? I think I know who most.of the
geo ones are and be glad to send names and give you the dope.

Also am going to write you some time as to my idea of the present
basketball game (and rules) which at times becomes a bit monotonous
ee to the out-of-bounds - throw in - down the court - score and then
the same thing all over again.

Max is till in service and his address is Ens. M. E. Kissell,
Naval Air Station, Sqd. II3 Glenview, Illinois. He is right near
Chicago and sees many big games there and plays when they will let mim bm
but I think he cannot play the night before or night after he is in air.
He is instructor of pilots and récently had am promotion which makes
him something or other.

Glad to hear from you any time and regards _ 1
