Dear Yr. Vancan:

ok Hhante you for your very good letter of
Mareh 28 making inquiry concerning the gate ere
and attendance at basketball genes.

T am not sure just how the gate receipts
aonperd, but there are between ©O and 100 millions
attending basketball games*in a single year. OF
‘course, the price is such less than for football sanes,
and, it is my opinion that football would probably
show @ larger monetary income. |

a There are between 18 ‘and 20 millions pleving
basketball in the world, and more people attend basketball
games _— any other sport.

About 40 millions attend football, 60. eLllions a
attend baseball, and between 80 and 100 millions attend
basketball eames I trust _— gives you the information
you desire,

Thank you. for your ver? Wind remarks, and, with
best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

FCA? 1g:min Director of Physical Edueation and Recreation
, | Vareity Basketbell and Baseball Coach |
