Director of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketball Coach
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen:

Absence from Kansas City has prevented acknowledg-
ment of the receipt of your letter of February 4
about Dr. Burdick's opinion of the possibility of
preventing the use of Dr. Naismith's name and
reputation and college basketball generally, from
being the drawing card to liquor advertisements.

It seems to me that such practice is to be regretted
and I am sorry that nothing can be done to stop it.

In Washington the other evening I picked up a copy

of the Washington Evening Star, and was very much
pleased to see the center of the page write-up about
Engleman. I also noted the reference to "Coach Phog
Allen", and am attaching page Al3 of the February 13
issue of the Evening Star for whatever use you wish to
make of it.

With personal regards and best wishes, I am
