Dear Dr. Allens

Last week a regional basketball tournament was held
here. I was greatly impressed with the playing of two
brothers, Roy and Guy Mitchell, from Hutchinson.

RARER RY

For versatility in high school boys, their play is
seldom equalled. Bither of them could "ring the basket"
with deadly accuracy--their free throws seldom missed, and
finding a couple of finer looking bucks, physically, would
involve a long search. Both boys are big, easily six-footers,
and well muscled, never-the-less both are wiry as snakes
and have the speed of a couple of greyhounds.

I talked for a few minutes with them in the shower
room and they informed me that one was a junior and the
other a sophmore. Consequently they still have plenty
of time for expansion. While I know nothing of their in-
tentions regarding further schooling, or of their capacity
for such, I intend to keep an eye on them this next year
and, in due season, discuss with them the possibility of
their attending the University.

My purpose in writing now is to “introduce” the boys
so that you too may observe their progress, and in the event
that employment is a requisite to their attendance, you
would be better able to evaluate the merits of their case.
and I, thru you, would be more adequately prepared to give
them a picture of the program they could expect.

Congradulations upon the success of your basketball
season, and I thank you for the complimentary letter you
sent me last spring after graduation; I still prize it
highly.

Sincerely yours,

Herbert H. Size: ore
