Noverber 8, 1939.

ie. Frank W. Keaney,
Rhole Island State College,
Kingston, R. I.

In response to your inquiry of the first instant, the
FansesCity Star, which hes a morning edition ~ the Kansas City
Times in the marting = the Ster in the afternoon ~ and Sunday,
is considered second only to the New York Times in get-up and
readability, and is by far the arbstending newspaper of the
middle west. C. E. MitBride is the sparts editer.

The Kansas City Journal has a lerge circulation, also,
and its spat editor is Parke Cerroll, one of the outstanling
football and basketball officials in this pert of the country.
He probably officiates at mare basketball cemes in ar Big Six
Conference than any one other official. He is especially
interested in rules of basketball, and I believe in respect to
the most basketball news you would get it fron Parke Carrell's
spe@ting comment column. ;

Personally, if you could stand the strein, I believe
it would be well to subseribe to both of these papers, because
Mp. MeBride is so outstanding. However, I em leaving it to you
to do whet yo think best.

Sincerely yours,

Directar af Physical Education ani Recreation
