Dear Mr. Allen:

Last spring at the Physical Education Convention
in Sioux City I chatted with you on basketball at a
research meeting. This brief acquaintance made me
feel that I know you well enough that I could ask a
favor of you, but necessity is the factor that prompts
this familiarity. 3

My job at the District Physical Education Convention
to be held at Wichita this spring, is to conduct a panel
on Men's Physical Education and Athletics. Very few
men from this part of the country intend to be in Wichita
this spring and in order to conduct a panel intelligently
I must contact some men from that part of the country
who will no doubt be present. Knowing that you have been
at Kansas for a long time, and you have many boys out
in the field of physical education who no doubt will be
at the convention, I thought you could possibly give me

ames to whom I might write asking for some assist-
ance in the development of our section. I would appreciate
hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

If I am ever in a position to reciprocate this favor,
I shall be more than happy to do S0-e

Sincerely,

Gene Aldrich
Director of Athletics
