Dr. F. C. Allen, Athletic Director,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

In planning the athletic program for the Fall
and Winter, we are trying to schedule outstanding basket-
ball teams in the vicinity of Camp Crowder for games.

Last spring we sponsored a tournament in
which many exceptionally fine basketball players partici-
pated,

We are very anxious to have our teams compete
with the leading teams of the Middlewest, and I feel sure
that you, also, would be interested in having several ser-
vice games on your schedule.

The War Department realizes that the quickest
way to condition men in the Service is active participation
in sports.

I feel sure that we can count on your co-
operation in helping us with our tremendous athletic pro-
gram.

Sincerely yours,

WM. F. KRICKHAN, JR.

Athletic Officer.
