Dear Dr. Allens:

I want to thank you for your kind letter. “he
boys did a fine job this year. It's the best ball
team I have ever coached in regard to fundamentals
and the use of the "old brain power." As far as to
team morale, it was tops.

In a way, it was unfortunate for Wyandotte and
and us that we had to meet in eyerr one of our three
tournaments, but 1 guess it didn't make so much
difference since we kept the winning in the Kansas
City Area. Wyandotte had a good tea and we happened
to be fortunate at the right time, I guess.

On our squad we have two 17 year old boys that
lt wish you would contact by letter and invite them
to the University. They are, bill Neff, and Dick
Maloney. Mr. Neff is anxious that “111 have at
least one year of college before military training,
and I think a letter from you would be a great help
to get °ill to stay in school one more year.

Three out of ten of my basketball squad this
year were members of the National Honor Yociety
and they are really high type kids, so if any of
them do come to Kansas University, I am sure that
they will prove Q. K.

“omeday, after this war pressure is off, I
hope to complete my Masters at K. U. Possibly I
can see you this Saturday while in Lawrence at the
track meet and you can advise me relative to fin-
ishing my work.

With vest regards, I remain,
me
incerely yours,

fort K Kha
