Mr. Harold Le Reade,

Athletic Director,

Shawnee-Mission Rural High School,
Merriam, Kansas i

Dear Harold:

Sek it laaenian vane Wlleat ink ential tee Vin
direction of the Lewrence High Sehool, for high school tournaments.
i took this up with Principal Ralph Graber and he said that since
Lawrence had cut her course down to nine holes that so many teams
entered and they could not finish in the morning.

You know there is a certain ethical position that we in
the University must take. We are not permitted to promote high
school tournaments only wilder the auspices of the high sehool com
missioner, and in that ease they generally let the local high
school be the host. .

I an sorry that I missed you when you were in town last
week. I don't know whether you would be better off in Topeka or
where you are at Shawnee-Mission. You have them a million per cent
paren gh go Sa ig clad nag ys a dgeveaa pyr gly
moved to Topeka because you would develop the same fine a Sigh
team there that you have at Shawnee-Mission. You eertainly did
great job and you made Christians out of a lot of people.

I em asking Henry Shenk to write you about the courses
that will be offered this sumer, so that you ean make your plans
SOON.

With all good wishes, I am

Sineerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA:AH | Varsity Basketball Coach.
