April 13, 1942.

To Varsity and Freshman Basketball Men;

Iam enclosing a copy of a letter that I have recently
sent to outstanding high school seniors, inviting them to come to
the gymnasium on the morning of the Kansas Relays, April 18, to
shoot a few goals and work out with the varsity players. Hach
of you will be considered a committee of one to greet these boys
and help each one of them have a good time.

I would appreciate it if you will keep Saturday morn-
ing free for these high school boys. Flan to get here about
9:30 and be dressed in your varsity uniforms by the time the boys
arrive. Some of our boys have said that this little courtesy had
as much to do with their determination to enter the University of
Kansas as any one thing. I want you to know how important it is
to our visitors. This "mixer™ is something that they will cherish
for a long time. The whole purpose of the affair is for the boys
to come and shoot some baskets, take a shower, and then get a
ticket for the Kansas Relays in the afternoon.

Please stop by my office early this week and let me
know that I may count on each one of you.

Sincerely yours,
