Dear Jay:

I acknowledge your good letter of the eighth instance rather
belatedly but as usual I have been.«head over heels in work and I
am up here tonight dictating letters trying to find my way out.
I'do not want you to think that I know more than a good newspaper
man does but I know the editor, Ben ibbs of the Saturday Ivening
Post and I am sure they will not take this article because some
others have been sent to them on allied subjects such as this.

I have made the Steve Post twice on articles and I imagine there
has been two dozen articles sent to them.

I am sending this to yeu Bob [ do not believe it has enough
color and they would want to hook it up with something in the
present tense. I am glad that you are planning on coming back
and I hope you land with the Topeka Capital.

Doubtless you know that Don Pierce is with us as publicity
man for the Athletic Department. He left the Daily Oklahoman
@ couple of weeks ago. With all good wishes to you and I regret
that my criticism might not strike the responsive cord with yous
However, send it along if you wish. It is authentic — uty:
I welieve ancient.

Sincerely yours,

Direetor of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach
