Dear Mr. Allen,

Just a very, very belated note in appreciation of your magnamimity
in picking George Senesky as the Player of the Year. Quite naturally, we
approved fully of your judgment and would have growled long and loud had
anyone else been selected, but still we feel that a coach who is broadmind-
ed enough to see (pardon the mixed metaphor) beyond Charlie Black and Ray

Evans deserves a lot of credit.

In the Feb. 12th issue of the Hawk we picked both Black and Evans
to our first team All-Opponent and lauded Kansas as the finest outfit to
appear in Philadelphia this season. In the issue now at press we recall
Kansas as the greatest team St. Joseph's has ever faced and declared them
the equal (at least on the night they played us) of any team of any year.
To prove that we are not alone, I quote an article which ran six weeks
ago in the Phila. Inquirer: "Next to those red-hot Kansans, Dartmouth show-
itself to be the stongest etc. etc.™.

So congratulations on a great team and a great bunch of fellows.
I can speak for the whole student body when I say that losing to you was

almost a privilege; we all of us hope for long years of pleasant relations.

Sincerely
Bob Rowan
Sports Editor, The Hawk.
