Dr, Forrest ©. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas,

Dear Dr. Allen:

Glad to hear you are pleased with
the pictures. I'm proud to take the "blame" from
Mrs, Allen for the tweed suit --- I think it was
a swell idea.

| You ask me about the color picture,
and I don't know what to think about that. When
the editors saw the black and white photographs they
apparently realized you would make a very fine
picture in color. So they wrote me suggesting
the possibility, but warned me not to go ahead
until they let me know of a decision for sure.
I was surprised that they even brought the subject
up, because they've never used color in sport.

You are right in thinking that
by now they probably have just about put the
story to bed. It is to be run "sometime this
winter," probably early in the basketball season.
However, I still think there is a chance that
they would decide on the color picture, and I
have let them know that Cochran would be able
to handle it. If they don't go for the color,
they still have an exceptionally good layout of
black and white.

: Anything I hear from them I'll
let you know right away.

With best regards I am

Yours Y/ ia /
