Dr, Forrest C. Allen,

Department of Physical Education,
University of Kansas,

Lawrence, Kansas,

Dear Dr. Allen:

We are delighted to have your letter of July 31
with the information that you will be present
with us at the monthly meeting of our post at
the Ivanhoe Golf & Country Club, 86th & Holmes:
Street, on Monday night, August 11, at 7:45 P.M.

Any subject that you choose will be entirely
satisfactory with us, We had thought that a

subject entitled, "Sportsmanship and Americanism",
might be a good title for the talk, as we expect.

to have the members of our baseball team present,

and this year we have given the players selected
from each team in the league a sportsmanship award,
the player to receive the award having been chosen
for the award on account of his displaying outstand-
ing sportsmanship in all the games throughout the
Season, and are inviting all the boys to be present
who receive this sportsmanship awar@. Personally,

I think that some good parallels could be drawn as

to the importance of real sportsmanship as attributes
and characteristies of major importance in the make-up
of what we term "Americanism",

As stated, however, we are perfectly willing to leave
the subject of your talk to you, but if you can let
me know the subject by Thursday or Friday of this
week, I can perhaps get an item in the Kansas City
Star concerning it and your appearance Monday night,
I am inclosing copy of letter written to Roy Roberts
of the Kansas City Star but I will not mail this until
I hear frem you as to whether or not this subject is
okaye

Sincerely yours,
D BROWN, JR. POST, NO. 124,

       

Thornton J, Manry
