Elmer has just brought your letter to me this instant and we
have gone over all our shoes and find that Dean was mistaken in
that he said we had some new shoes size 14. In fact, we have no l4s
at all, that are new. Elmer is our new property man since Dean is
gone, and the best that he could rake up was a pair of old lds,
worn by John Halberg about three or four years ago.

We are sending these along so that your boy may use then,

and whatever adjustment should be uade between your new ones and
these I will let you decide. You write me and your verdict is*good

enough for me.

Schaake:

When we played basketball in Lawrence, January
13, I left a pair of new white converse shoes with
Chalmer Woodard. Dean Nesmith was to pick up the
shoes and send me in exchange a pair of converse
shoes, size 14.

Dean had told me that you had a few pairs of
fourteens and would be glad to help us out by ex-
changing them for a smaller size.

I see by the paper that Dean has left. He
probably forgot about the shoes with so many more
important things to think about. Would you check
up on the shoe exchange for me. Thanks 4 lot.

You have now got half a dozen or more schedules, and I

these schedules before now. Will you pass one to my good

would be delighted to sec you, and of couse we will see
you Friday and chew the fat on the game for Saturday night.

Thanks for your good wishes at Missouri, but we got it

Dear Phog:

I thank you very much for your letter,
While my remarks on the subject of general physi-
cal education will naturally be very brief at
the football banquet, I am especially grateful
to you for having taken the time to write me the
detailed letter as to the possibilities of what
might be done at K. U.

Strange as it may seem this is the
first year that I have not received a schedule
of the basket-ball games from someone at the
University. I just learned today that you are
playing Iowa State on January 27 and Kansas
State on January 50. I cannot see the latter
game but certainly would like to see the one with
Iowa State.

I was, of course, delighted with your
wins over Nebraska and Missouri, especially with
the latter because I thought you were going to
get knocked off at Missouri. Congratulations]

be yours,

‘My dear Dr. F.C. Allen:

By way of Harry Green's
thoughtfulness it was possible for me to read
and meditate upon the letter written your wholly
adequate capacity as President of the Lawrence
Country Club. Right-off the theme, expansion with
foresight of the "little" conveniences which go
to give color and sporting purpose to any club,
infected my mood with enthusiasm. Briefly, what
can be called a definite step ahead in affairs at
the Lawrence is now a patent truth.

You have, as 0.W. Holmes
once put it, "formed your battalions and are now
fighting"....and again Forrect C. Allen is seen
to be exerting a force....it can never be said
of your life that is has not been an abundant
history.

Believe me,

Golfingly,
