HICKOX, SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE SECRETARY-TREASURER November 15, 1939 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Basketball Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: This will acknowledge the receipt of your communication of November 13. It certainly will be entirely satisfactory with me if you add the name of Mr. Bill Williams, of Drake University, to your convention committee. I am sorry that we did not know of this in time so that Mr. Williams’ name could have been placed on our letter- heads. However, if he is willing to accept the appoint- ment, feel perfectly free to make this addition. I knew of Frank Root's resignation and,as you may recall, took it upon myself to add H. W. Brown of Nebraska University to your committee. However, I am sure that four members will not be too many on this committee. I am slowly, but surely, organizing the pro- gram for the convention this next spring and, as you have a knowledge of the possible set-up in Kansas City and a lot of experience with such organizations, I wish that you would outline a program which you would like to see carried through next March 28-30. I am asking several other coaches to do this and from all of their suggestions will try to make a composite arrangement which I hope will be outstanding. Feel free to make any suggestions you have in mind. With best regards, I an, Very sincerely yours President BTG da
