National Basketball Championship and has further-

Championship as well as the regional tournament in
Kansas City. The Western Conference has voted
support of this tournament, so far as Ne Ce Ae As

Western Conference to be represented in the
tournament.

-I hope that District #5 will
enthusiastically and loyally support the tournament
and cooperate with "Phog" Allen and H. G. Olsen in
every possible way.

Cordially and sincerely yours,
