Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Roy:

I want to take this means of thanking the
Kansas City Star for the wonderful publicity and encour-
agement given the University of Kansas and our Athletic
Association comperning the Great Lakes ~- Kensas basket~
ball game played last Thursday, February 5, in Mmicipal
Auditorium. Without your wonderful publicity I am sure
that we would have had a mere handful because the weather

end everything was against us.

In spite of all these serious drawbacks which
confront such a situation, your paper did such a fine job
of it that we had a tremendous crowd. I have never geen
such a crowd under such discouraging circumstances. [
have written to Mec and thanked him and the boys on the
sport desk for their untiring efforts in boosting this
attractions

For weeks I have
personal letter of well wishes when I read of your append-
ectomy. IT put it off like I
it was too late. However, I did npg tls lays
very closely and was delighted to learn of your spiendid
recovery due, doubtless, to your fine physical condition
and of course expert medical attention. I am glad that you
are back on the job and wish for you and yours continued
success and prosperity.

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

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