Lawrence, Ks.

Dear Mr. Allen:

In the earley twenties, when I was a student at
r.U., we were havtne a ralley in the new stadium
on the evening before a home coming,football game.

You wave a fine talk and during your talk you
quoted a Whitney, I think, kk The auotation
ended somethine like this, " Whether Ye win, or
whether Yeu lose; prey God Ye be a man.”

I have to make a talk to some young people the
last of next week and think that I could use the
whole suotation to an advantace. If you could
recall the author and the cuotation, and mail to
me in the inclosed envelope, I would thankryou
very.much. :

I have a cousin, Bill Cochrane, who graduates from
Salina High Sehool this spring. If he has not

been called to your attention as possible timber

for a K.U. athlete, I would sugegestyou incuire

about his performance in high school. I realize that
a hierh school record does not nromise us that the
college nerformance will be successful,but I do

think that his ability with a couple of years of
training will make him as good as the average

football or basketball player.

If you are interested in him I will be elad to
use my influence to ret him to attend .U.

Trusting that I may get this information from you,
I want to thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,

desage Lal.
