Dear Doctor Allen:

I am writing you again, but this time in regard
to David Payne. He is hoping to come to K. U. next
semester. It is, however, without his knowledge
thet this letter is being written.

David told me that he plans to write to you soon
to try to make an appointment for an interviens and
I thought that a littie advance information about him
might be of interest to you. In high school he was
an All Star (All City) forward for Westport. Since
his graduation he has played two or three seasons of
independent ball with such teams as College of —
DeMolay, Cassanovas, and a church team.

David has more fight than any one player I have
-ever played with, but, according to him, he feels
that he stands much room for improvement in the line
of fundamentals--something you are certainly qualified
to give him.

In all truth I am able to say that since the.
time I moved to Kansas City David has been my "ideal"
not only in the line of athletics, but as a real fellow.

Sincerely

turn Bo A tert?
