Mr. Otto Rost
6405-A Potomac Street
St. Louis, Missouri

Dear Mr. Rost:

Since you are a Kansas University graduate
you would like to do something for dear old Kansas
no doubt.

Well, here's what you can do that will be
a good turn for Kansas and me too.

One of the greatest ball players I have
ever had wants to go to Kansas U. to play basket-
ball for "Phog" Allen. He is Gifford Roux, one
of my boys last year. He is 18 years old, 6! 3",
and weighs 170 pounds. Really Rost, he will be a
great college ball player. There isn't any need
for me to say any more about the boy to you.

I don't know whether you worked any of the
games he played in or not. Ask your brother Bruce
at Lowe & Campbell, he has heard about the boy.

I have written to Coach Allen, but I know ©
if an alumnus would show interest in the boy, it
would carry more weight.

Sincerely yours,

’

Charles Summers
