“Dear Dr. Allen -

| With the financial support of the Topeka Optimist
Club in the matter of suits, equipment, etc., I am sponsoring for the
fifth and sixth grade boys of the school here a basket bakh league.
Since we rather look upon K.U. as the basket bakk capital of this
section of the country I am anxious to have them see your team in
action as an inspiration for our work here. Last year I took my
car full of boys on several occasions and they enjoyed the trips

immensely.

This year I want to bring the entire club of some 50
boys to one of your games, providing transportation can be taken care
of. Since your freshman - varsity contest will probably leave you
more seats than a regular game, I am taking the rather bold step of
asking you for a snecial price for this group of boys for this game
which I understand will be the 29th of Nov.

If you care for a special feature bet anion halves of

this game and do not have one arranged, I will be wery happy to have
some of the boys put on a demonstration which I believe your audience
will enjoy. I think you will find it somewhat more entertaining than

the average basketball work for boys of this age.
