Dear Mr. Allen,

I am writing you in reference to Albert (Bert) Gagnon's
attending the University. I do not know whether you have ever seen
this’ boy play basket ball. I do not claim to be one of the "smart"
bays, but in my opinion this boy will make any ball club better.

He played four years with Sacred Heart, getting honorable
mention and all state recognition. ,

I talked to his father lact night and of course, it is the
usual story of a job. At present his intentions are enrolling in
Wesleyan at Salina, his home town. I do not know whether you would
have any interest in this boy or not, but if you do you undoubtedly
have some better contacts in Salina that can give you more information.

If you are not interested, would appreciate your advising
me to that effect.

I do not know this boy personally, but have seen him play
a lot of ball and am interested in seeing K.U. get good boys.

Cordially yours,
Dwight Burkhead K,U. - °!35

P.S. Give my regards to Ed Elbel.
