Dear "Doe":

I thought 1 would drop you a note to let you know
that my basketball team just won the state championship in
class "A", In my offense I used a lot of suggestions from
your book, but my defense was my own type, I guess that it

was so crazy thet it fooled everyone.

"Doc", I was wondering if you are going to have
your annual play day for high school senior basketball pl-yers.
I have two boys who are swell players as well as students who
would get a big kick from such an event. Doc, if you do not
have this play day this year would you drop me a note. If you
do have it would you drop these boys a 19ne about having a good
season. Bill Sapp, Augusta High School; and Lawrence Kennedy,

135 Columbia;

Thank you for this fervor, and also for recommending
me for the Topeka position. JI received the sapplication form
and returned it several days ago, however, I am up for reclass-

ification agein May 2nd.

Respectfully,

DLS /ml Devid L. Shirk, Coach
