Dear Mr. Allen:

Sam Barry has asked me to send you sae basketball
information in advance of the Trojan trip to Kensas City for the
NCAA play-off. I have already sent pictures and material to

Kansas City Journal.

The enclosed booklet was prepared in advance of the
1940 season and gives the roster of the 11 men making the trip,
personal information on the players and Coach Barry and consider=

abe record material up through the 1939 season. I am enclosing

the 1940 recard, which shows 19 victories out of 21 games,

their success is founded on their experience in playing together,
Four of them were regulars last year. They are the four seniors--
Forward Ralph Vaughn (6 feet), Forward Jack Morrison (6), Center
Dale Sears (6:2) end Guard Tom McGervin (6). Guard Jack Lippert
(5:11) is the only new man on the team this year end was a reserve
last year as a sophomore.
Veughn hes been selected on all of the Akk-American
teams so far. He is an outstanding left-handed hook shot specialist. X

He is a good floor man and when the defense concentrates on him Sam \

pulls him back as a feeder and he still is pletty valuable.
