Dear Doctor Allen:-=

I have been talking to Lieut. ted OtSullivan
of the kort Leavenworth Keception Center about the
possibilities of a series of basketball games here
this winter between the Soldiers and outstanding
university teams.

He told me yesterday afternoon that he had
been in correspondence with you relative to some games.
the purpose of this letter is to tell you how anxious
we all are to have the opportunity of seeing one of
your famous Kansas teams in action here at home.

I was surprised at the number of Kansas alumni
Il @iscovered when it came over here to work and I know
that you will draw well here just as you draw well in 4
every spot where you show. 2

Northwest Missouri is also exceptionally good
high school basketball territory.

Sincerely

Gene Sullivan,Sports iditor
