Mr. Forrest C. Allen, Basketball Coach
University of Kansas :
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen:

The University of San Francisco is planning an invitational
intercollegiate basketball tournament during the period

of December 29, 1941 to January 3, 1942, inclusive.

(No game would be played on January 1, 1942.)

In order to complete a preliminary survey as to the
availability of certain institutions, would you please
‘indicate your interest by use of the enclosed airmail
stamped envelope.

The playoff of the tournament would be conducted in

such a manner to permit each of the eight teams a minimum
of two games. Hotel and food cost would be paid for
fourteen persons of each institution from the evening of
Sunday, December 28, until the evening following the
elimination of the team. Traveling expense allowance
will be guaranteed, as well as further financial
consideration to be apportioned among the competing

teams from the net profits.

The tournament will add to the progress of basketball
and afford a grand early season opportunity for the
conditioning of your squad.

Trusting to hear from you by return mail, I am

Sincerely yours,

VAR Vedlig
