Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

I have wanted to send you a basketball player
for some time.

Armand Dixon, who graduates from our school in
the spring, has expressed a willingness to enroll
in Kansas University. As to his qualifications and
merits, he will be eighteen the 24th of February,
is six foot one inch and now weighs 165. Asa
student he is not brilliant but is above average.
He has B and C grades with improvement noted in his
Junior and Senior years.

As to his basketball ability, rival coaches
consider him our best boy and a definite University
prospect. He has good speed, more than enough courage
and possesses more basketball sense by far than his
team mates. He also can think very fast while in
action. He is not the high scoring type but more
of a feeder and ball rustler. However, in the 15
games played this year, he has an 8 point average.

Our competition is the equal of the Los Angeles
schools.

In Dixon's high school career he has been on
three league championship teams. Our league consists
of Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Inglewood, Compton —
and Leuzinger (an Inglewood school). He has never
been on a team below 2nd place. He has been named
all league and all tournament at the Southern Counties
tournament.
