Dear Ir. Allen:

I'm working with BE. S. Liston of Baker University on a project to
bring the 1939 convention of the National Association of Basketball
Coaches to Kansas City at the time of the second National Intercolleg=
jate Basketball Tournament to be held in our auditorium, March 7-12,
1939.

We have no: members of the Association in Kansas City and I would
consequently like to have you join us in inviting the convention here
and help us in any other way to put our invitation across.

I think the idea of holding the convention here at the time of the
tournament is an excellent one. There will be a number of coaches here at
that time and the tournament itself will be of a lot of interest to

all Association. members. In addition, I note in glancing over the
membership of the Association that the majority of members are in the
north central and eastern parts of the comtry and I believe that a
convention here would help a lot to stimulate membership throughout

the south and west. :

Specifically, I would appreciate it if you would prepare a letter and
send it to me, expressing your desire to have the 1939 convention in
Kansas City. The letter should be addressed to the National Association
of Basketball Coaches, In Convention Assembled, Chicago, and should be
sent to me as I am soliciting similer letters from several other coaches
in this area. I'm planning to go to Chicago with Mr. liston Saturday
night to help in the presentation of the invitation.

Yours very truly,

- /
