would goon be able to pay off after a season or two of play..

I feel safe in prophesying, due to the popularity of the sport

in Kansas, that we would actually make enought money to partially
help another causé or save and have a reserve fund for future
emergencies..

Yentlemen, I have stated the facts as I perceive then,.
ana am firmly convinced that the game of basketball would be
beneficial to this wanond and community... I say that not only
would you fae vely your school spirit throughout. the winter
months but that you would also give the town people an opport-
unity to keep in contact with the educational center. I have
told you how it would give recreational play and eetovaent to
the students without affecting their scholastic standing. It
is not necessary to sell this sport to you tor 1 am firmly

convinced that this fine game possesses enough attributes to

sell itself..
