We are grateful for having received your acceptance to serve as a member of the Sportsmen's Club for The City of Hope Fifth Annual Sportsmen's World Awards Selection Committee. We have provided you with this official ballot as a means of designating your choices for those whom you may regard as most deserving of honors. Please cast your vote for only one in each category. If you should favor an athlete who is not listed in the preliminary nominations which appear on this ballot, you are privileged to "write-in" the name of an athlete of yesteryear who would be to your liking. It is most important that we have your completed ballot in our possession not later than May 28, 1971, in order that we may extend invitations to those who are to be honored?╟÷well in advance of the Banquet date, June 26. We will greatly appreciate your prompt cooperation. A stamped, self-addressed envelope has been enclosed for the return of your ballot. * Athletes chosen for honors in previous years are not eligible for recognition in 1971.
