Doctor Forest C. Allen,
c/o Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Doctor Allen,

A Kansas City boy, in whom I am interested, has a
remarkable Basket Ball record, if Kansas City Star reports
are dependable. I am not an authority myself; but the boy's
record, as reported from time to time on the Sport page,
has been very far above the average. Would it be possible
to get work enough to enable him to pay his way at Kansas
University? I am a trustee of the University of Kansas City;
but our basket ball has not yet been featured enough to
make it attractive to him. Your leadership has an unusual
appeal to him.

Upon inquiry, I learned that the Star does not keep
a record of High School athletes, But the boy's mother has
his complete basket ball "record as reported game by game.

I have known his parents for many years. They are
fine people - parents and children alike.

I am not sufficiently familiar with the technique
and ethics of College and Yniversity Basket 5all to be certain
I am proceeding according to accepted precedure. “ut you
will pardon me, I am sure, if 1 am off the beam. I am inter-
ested _in the boy and want to help him in every legitimate way
that I can.

Yours sincerely,

i
