My dear Doctor Allen,

Although some time remains before the actual date, I can
assure you basketball fans in the Queen City are avidly
awaiting the schediled appearance of Kansas and its famed
coach in Memorial Auditorium, Saturday, December 26th.

Naturally, WBEN, through my department, supports the dis-
trict collegiate cage programs to the utmost, and, in this
connection, I an writing to request your appearance for an
interview. I conduct a nightly sports column, 6815-6350
ani would like you as my guest the night of your game with
Can is ius. — nee | me

WBEN, as local authorities will attest, is the dominant
station in this area, which means your co-operation in
this regard will serve a double purpose. It will be at
once splendid missionary work for Kansas, and, of course,
will help to swell the attendance for the doubleheader
bill on which your team appears.

I an trying to set up a full schedule of interviews in
advance, for publicity purposes, hence would appreciate
a speedy acknowledgment from yore Will you please include
a short list of questions you might like asked? Also, if
possible, include a cut of yourself for newspaper public-

LUY e

Thank you in advance, and, of course, a wish for your good
fortune this coming season,

a “
