Dear Doctor:
Perhaps I shouldn't bother you at this time when you
are in the midst of another basketball season, but, having

caught the KU basketball bug while in school there, I thought

9

you might be interested in a senior high school boy who is
playing here with the local team. |

The boy's name is Damon Weber. He stands about six
feet, three inches, and weighs around 200 pounds, and is fast
for his sizee He is a defensive and rebollmding specialist,
and seldom shoots; therefore has received but little publicity
this year -- but is in my opinion avery good college prospect
with whom you could do great things. He is financially well off
and able to attend college, but at present is engaged to a
high school girl here, and is contemplating immediate marriage
after graduation.

I think if you would get in touchwith the boy
through correspondence, you might. be able to do both him and
the Setcol's court squad some good. He stands high scholastic-
ally, and with a Little encouragement would make an ideal
college student and athletee :

There is also another senior six-footer on the

team, Russell Goodpasture, who has led the squad in scoring most

of the year, and in whom you might be interested.
