Dre Fy Ce Allen
Head Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

 

The possibility of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association sponsoring an intercollegiate tournament has been brought

 

to my attention. a
Since you are Chairman of the committee which represents 2

our district, we want you to know that we are greatly in favor of such a

an intercollegiate tournament and wish to suggest that Kansas City would 3
be a most suitable place. :
Mre C. E. McBride of the Kansas City Star has alweys been
most active in basketball in this area and would unquestionably be the
most logical choice to serve on the committee representing our district. =
Inasmuch as this matter is more or less in your hands now, I should like a
to urge that you let Mre McBride kmow how he could help the intercolleg-~ a
iate basketball in this district and insist on his serving on the com- ..
mittee to regulate and provide for an intercollegiate play-off in Kansas s
City. 4
It is certain that such a tournament would be of great P
value to the schools in our district and should not conflict with the se
present tournament which does not confine its participation to schools 4
operating under the freshman rule. a
If we may be of any service in this connection, we should a

be most happy to have you let us knowe
Cordially yours,

(Signed) E. S. HICKEY

 

Business Manager,
Basketball Coache
