Allen University of Kansas : of Lawrence, Kansas bus Dear Phogs: Y I return to the office after several days absence due to the ‘| very sudden death of my mother last Monday morning, to find your several letters, and first of all I am glad to have your report concerning Will Fleeson of Oklahoma City. I shall cer- - tainly make it my business to look him up when next in Okla- homa City. I want to congratulate you, Phog, on the successful outcome of the three cornered tie, which I note makes you oe eee Y aed the N.C.A.A, play-off in Kansas City. Hope I can be theré“to 7* “+: watch your boys gallop to victory, failing which I expect to see them in the finals on March 30, I wired you today per attached copy with reference to the let- ter you wrote to Walker of Hotel Continental, Kansas City, con- cerning the question of exhibiting the convex backboard during the Rules Conmittee meeting. I think this is very important and certainly hope you succeed in getting this man's permission to make this installation. I would like to have word from you as quickly as possible so I can make the necessary arrangements with an installation crew in Kansas City to handle the neces- sary work of getting this board properly installed. If you have not heard from Walker at the time you receive this letter, will you please call him and then communicate his decision to me? Kindest personal regards. Yours very truly, FRED MEDART ACTURING CO. s Promotion Manager STEEL LOCKERS___ STEEL WARDROBES____STEEL SHELVING____GYMNASIUM APPARATUS____GYM SEATS____BASKETBALL BACKSTOPS____PLAYGROUND APPARATUS
