yourself and also some material about the team this year that I could make
up into an article for the three papers, the Detroit News, Detroit Times, and
Detroit Free Presse Send me three schedules and the team record so far
and a statement from you as to the teams prospects and also what you think
as to the future of basketball at KU nextA What will be the affect of the
war on athletiess in the Missouri Valley ? etc. You know what they want.
Anything unusual about any of the boys on the team. Also a little sketch of
yourself. I will write this all up and send it to the three papers in advanee
and#:they will boil it down and rewrite at and color it to suit themselves.
You know how the newspaper boys go at these things. But I am sure everyone
of them will run a part of it with your picture for you have, after all, been
known all over the country for your championship teams for manf years.
Moreover it will be a story they can write at their desks without going out.
I am far removed from the world of athletics myself but I am sure you are a
prime source of news . Would you say that basketball,should be taken up by the
army ? Are there any changes in the rules contemplated.?, Don't you think
the middle Wast plays better basket ball than the Hast Htc.

Talk this trip over again with Fred El&sworth. At the time ! wrote
him I was not so sure as to what we could do but after talking with some more o
of the boys and in view of the publicity we will get I am sure we will have
a fair number out to see youe I have about enough personal items now for a
secon@ bulletin before Xmas and I would like to include ih it also a notlce
of your coming.
