Dear Johns

I took your good letter of December 17 in to Mre “arl
Falkenstien and made strong intercession for the Seneca High School
Basketball Team to be invited to one of our games as guests of the
Athletic Associations .

2 The Uhiversity has always made a special low price to high
school basketball and football teams. Of course, the football situation
has been easy to handle because even though they did not charge the

high school boys they had plenty of seats. It is different with basket= |
balle Just about the time we desire to invite a few high school boys,
then everybody wants to cone and we have to cut it off.

There have been times when Vyandotte, Tovelm, and a few of
the boys close by, have been asked ing just an especially picked crewe
Sometimes they pay a small charge and other times they have gotten in
because they were football playorse Some coaches desired to get certain
high school boys here by subsidizing even the rule regerding a smali
prices

: But you and your Seneca High School boys are going to be dif»
ferent because you have been such a loyal alumnuse farl has agreed to
have the 12 that you pick as our guests, without any charge, to
any game except the Missouri gam@ée He wovld like to have you then, but
there will be no seats available the way it looks.

I am sending you a schedule and you pick out any game but the
Missouri game, and let Farl know ahead of time and he will take care of
yous I asked him to write you and I mow he will. i am alse writing
Earl so there will be a double chetke

_ I want you to lmow how much I appreciate your deep loyalty for
your school and the teams ea . |

With all good wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation .
