Mr. Ned Irish,

New York City.

Dear Ned:

I have talle d to Chuck Elliott, our sports publicity
man here at the University of Kensas, and he will send you all the
publicity on our basketball team - roster, pictures, and any feature
material that may prove interesting. Of course, the drive has been on
football, but the season is nearly over and Elliott will devote more of
his time to anes publicity.

The Univers Kansan, the campus newspaper
will be sent to you by We FEE rs ve aiso turned over the mail-

ing list you sent to him for his srs nach If you do not get the
Kansan right eway, let me know.

Eleven of my basketball players are on the football =
team, and I em giving you one or two personal sketches to let you know
that we think we have a pretty good fund of publicity material. Evans,
a halfback on the football team, is a most outstanding athlete - a
runner, kicker and passer, and has more completions end more intereeptions
than most of the men, save ohe or two, in the United States. He is being
boosted as a possible All-American, as each school has to have one Alil-
Anerican. Oa

Other stars on the football team, who are aleo on the
basketball team are Hoyt Baker, halfbacks Kenneth Adams, quarterback, son
of the president of the Phillips Petroleum Compeny, at Bartlesville, Okla.;
Gene Sherwood, quarterback, and Charlie Black, one of my varsity players
of last year. Most of these fellows will be regulers on the basketball
teame

ts are ah add atc 2 eaties eee sees
ing program, required of all men students in the University, and many of
our outstanding athletes are used as instructors of these conditioning
classes. The enclosed clipping will describe rather fully this course.

I thought all of this might be interesting to you and
would give you some idea of the publicity we can send on our team.

Very sincerely yours,

oe _ Direotor of Physical Education,
FCA :AH | Varsity Basketball Coach. —
