Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Phog:

Let me thank you for your kindness in stop-
ing to meet our boys and talking to them for
a few minutes last week. They were quite elated
and honored over it.

I wes sorry that you did not get to single
out Donalidean Maison in your mind. I think that
he is an outstanding athlete, and thah under your
supervision he could become one of the outstanding
basketball volayers of the Big Six. I reasige
that meny successful high school baii players
would be useless to the type of besketball played
at the University, but that is not true of this
boy. He has scored about an average of 17 points
per game all yeer. He was high point man at the
state tournement with 69 points. And yet, more
important to me, he filled ahout the same nos* tion
on the team that your son Bob filled on your
team this year.

Doneldean is to take the Phillips schier-
ship test on next Sat. While he is not a bril-
liant student, his grades have always been above
average, and I feel that he will ssbisfactoralty
pess the examinations. If you would be so kind
as to write Mr. Adams about him, I think that
it would help a iot. :

I sight add that Donaldean is not interested

in selling his abilaté@es to the highest bidder,

he Pa and that if he rece‘ves this schoiarship I feel
F certain that he wiil attend the University.

E Most Sincerely Yours,
