Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I have just completed arrangements with Dr. Foster L. Dennis, of
Dodge City, so.that Donald Burt will be able to make the trip to
the Relays. You may expect him to be on hand at the appointed time.

You may be interested in learning thet Burt led the Southwest Kansas
League this year in scoring with a game average of 18 points. Ye
played 14 league games. This was a new league record, the old one
being a little more than 13 points per game. Then too he was third
high in scoring in the State AA Tourney even though we played but

two games and the ones that beat him played in four games. He

holds the AA wecord for the most free throws made'in one game. Ip

our first tourney game this year he dropped in eleven out of eighteen
attempts. ey

Donald is one of the best shots that I have ever seen. He is,just
as fast as any one that I saw this year. You may remember that he
made 18 owt of our 28 points against Emporia in the clinic game
which you worked for us in Dodge. |

Doneld is able to do college work without much trouble. I would not
went him to attend KU if the work would be too difficult for him.

I shall eppreciate hearing from you in regard to the boy efter you
have had a chance to know him.

Yours sincerely,

Tannges Lb
