Mr. Jimmie Sherman,
Independence, Kansase

Dear Jimmie:

It has been our custom in the past few yeara to
invite outstanding seniors who are proficient in basket-
ball to come to the University on the morning of the
Kansas Relays, April 18, about 10 o'clock, and work out
with our varsity and freshman basketball players in the
gymnasium. It is not necessary that you bring any eth-
letic equipment. We will check out equipment to you and
you will have a lot of fun shooting goals and playing in~
formally with the boys from 10 to 11:50.

Our varsity basketball players will be dressed and
will put on a few drills, but nothing elaborate. You
merely check out equipment and go with the boys on the
floor and have a lot of fun shooting baskets, then take
@ shower, and you are ready for an early start for the .
outstanding Kansas Relayas We will have a ticket ready
for you for the Relays in the afternoon.

Our purpose in having you here is te give you an
opportimity to meet our varsity pleyers. I trust that it
will be possible for you te come. Your coach and principal
have written me of your interest in the University, and if
there is anything I can do to make your visit to Lawrence
profitable and pleasant I hope you will let me know. It
will be a pleasure to have a chat with you.

With best wishes, I am

Very sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Besketball and Baseball Coach.
