Dear Dr. Allens

A problem has come up on my squad on which I think you can
give me the best information. The boy that plays center for us has
poor eyes. We have been playiing him without eye guards and he
just can not see the ball. His defensive work has been outstanding
but he has not averaged more than six points in a game. I sent to
Lowe & Campbell for some eye guards and they sent all of the types
that were stocked. The only one that we could use has a straight
bar crossing just, below the eye line. This prevents him from seeing
low passes. Do you know of any company carrying a type that will
suit our needs better? If at all possible I would like to get one
with curved bars in front of the eyes. Any suggestion that you
want to make will be appreciated.

Perhaps you would like to know how the boys have been doing
since the season opened. Ye heve played eleven games and have won
all of them. Menlo, the strongest team that we have met thus far,
was defeated last night by a 37-24 score. Our boys have scored 426
points to 168 for the opposition. We would have a much better team
if more of the stronger teams would play us. Our League does not
offer too much opposition. We played Oakley and won 53-13 so that
did not do us much good. The boys are playing a combination zone and
man for man. The guards and center play zone with the forwards
playing man for man if thé fourth man goes in. If we continue to
be lucky we should win most of the remaining games on the schedule
and go into the District tourney in good shape.

I wanted you to see one of my guards in action. He is recognized
as the outstanding guard in this region and that is taking in all
of the Northwest Kansas League teams. He is good as a defensive man 3
and is second among our scorers. He probably will go to Hays but I
surely would like for him to go any place but there.

Our players surely enjoyed watching your practise session. They
still talk about it and come to me to make remarks about certain of
your players after they see your box scores in the paper. 2

Yours sincerely,

Louse le

Laurence Stanton
