Dear Phog:

We are planning a trip with the school Basketball team and would
like a game for December 27th or thereabout with your team. Our
Aero "Tech" team is the same as a good College or University teame

The boys on our team are Airplane Mechanics and Engineering students
in this Goverment Approved School and have AeAel. cardse We play
college and A-AeUe teams in Southern California.

Enclosed is a clipping of an early season game in which we defeated
20th Century-Fox, National AAU. Champions, with their full team,
as you may notice.

We have a hard, clean playing, well coached team. The men average
around six foot tall, none over six foot two. They come from the
South, Middle West and Fast for one year end two year courses. Our
school has an enrollment between 900 and 1000 boys the year around.
If you would like to check up on the caliber of this team write
Basketball Coach Wilbur Johns at University of California at Los
Angeles.

Please write and let us know what kind of a deal you can offer.
Is it worth while for a 60=40 deal?

If impossible wovld you be kind enough to get in touch with a
good club or college team in your town and see if they are inter-
estede

Thanking you, we remain

Yours very truly,
