Congratulations, that was a tough game but
you win those kind,. Was certainly glad to see you after the game
even to just say hello and good-bye... IT know you are a busy man
so will make my letter short.. I have a prospect which I think
would someday bolster the KU basketball team in a championship
fight.. His name is Don Barrington, Tom VanCleave, Jr..might have
told you about him, and he is now playing with Kansas City, Kansas
Junior College.. The best recomendation ITcan give you is from the
former high school coach of Ray Noble,,Herb Conner.. Conner who
works here ‘at the Phillip plant told me that he considers this oa
of the college calibre that Noble was..

T would like to bring him up to the Towa: State —
basketball game in a few weeks and let you coe to him for a few
minutes.. I have played basketball with him and besides being a cou
player he is an outstanding and likeable student.. Will appreciate it =

     
   
 

if you would reserve me three tickets for this game.. I will pay for

them and pick them up at the athletic office and then see you after

     
   

_the game.. Good luck in the conference games ahead and wilt be. seei

ye after ae home Ones...
