Dear Dr. Allen:

I am writing you to express my appreciation to you for ths trouble
to which you mst have been put to secure those basketball tickets for
the big game tonight. My father will also be writing you, end will en-
Close a check for the tickets.

Ded and I had just about resigned ourselves to hearing the radio
broadcast of the game, until your letter arrived this morning. For my
pert, I don’t know how I can édequately thank you, other than by just
saying, ''Thanks a million -- you're a good euy.'*dénd, needless to add,
if we can ever do something for you--just let us know.

I also want to Scknowledge receiving the copiss of '"*Rebounds’’,
sent me while 1 was overseas. They arrived one steaming tropical after-
noon, “nd took my mind off the heat for several pleasant hours. I par-
ticularly enjoyed the account of Bill Johnson's drametic &ppesranca at
the Oklehoms geme. I heard that game, and just Sbout every other broad-
cest of the KU games, back to the years when Peterson, Belgard and Acker-
men were playing for youe Whenever Kansas U has played in Kansas City,

I have usually been there, up until the wer denied me that privilege. To
me, the most outstanding games were those played with Utah State, yi in
the Olympic sliminetions. It was a shame that the spectators had to be
so hostile, but in spite of that, I think KU could have won if Kapple-
mén could have been in those last two games.

By the time you receive this, tonight&s gems will have been played,

but win or lose, I’l1l alweys Rey Methe opinion that KU huis the best teams,

end certainly the best co@h,: a=

Thanking you sgain,:

sometime in the néar futs ?
your loyal supporter,
