Dear Mr. Allens

Everyone here at Great Lakes is looking forward with
keen anticipation to our basketball game with your K.U. squad,
February 5, at Kansas City. It looks like a natural, both from

the point of pleasing the crowds and assisting the Navy Relief
fund.

I have sent our basketball folder for the season, mats,
and glossy prints to Mr. Eugene Zackman at the municipal auditor-
jum in Kansas City. Other material such as follow-up stories and
new pictures will be fed t@ him regularly before the game.

If there is anything further this department can do for
you, do not hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely yours,

 

EDGAR A. THOMPSON
