Coach ve Cy Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Coach Allen;

Because young people have told us that they
are interested in what coaches have to say about
alcohol, we have been gathering our own collection
of statements from athletic coaches and directors.
Last. year we made a survey of football coaches and
received splendid statements, some of which are
included on the enclosed sheet.

Now we are anxious to feature the statements
of outstanding basketball coaches and hope to have
your cooperation. Will you tell us how you feel
regarding the matter of youthful drinking in relation
to athletic development and to a young person's acti-
vities in life? This will be circulated in a dignified
and helpful way to guide the thinking of young people.

Allied Youth is a program in alcohol education
and alcohol-free recreation. It is commended by many
outstanding educators, athletes, and other citizens,
It is an approach that wins the enthusiastic response
of young people,

Thank you very much for your consideration. We
shall look forward to hearing from you in the near future,
within the next two weeks, if possible.

Yours sincerely,

W. Roy Breg
Executive Secretary
