Dear Phog:

I have intended writing you for some time but have been kept so busy
with these little fellows down here that are out for spring practice
I maven't had much of a chance.

Mrs. Williamson and I went into Oklahoma City and saw your game with
Oklahoma A & M. We enjoyed it more than any game we have ever seen.

It goes dovm in-our books as the best game of basketball we'll prob-
ably ever see. Needless to say we were all for Kansas that evening.
Your game with the University of Southern California didn't make us
mad either, so accept our humble but sincere congratulations for your
wonderful season. You sure are doing and have done a wonderful job of
coaching at the University of Kansas. I might admit to you whether you
like it or not, that I have always hoped that someday I might be as
fine a coach in football as you have in basketball. I am sincere when I
say this.

I like my new job very well. Hated to leave Kansas and all the fine
friends in that state but I guess it's for the best. Tom Stidham is

a fine coach and friend, easy to work for. The material for next fall.
will be awfully green but they wont lack for size. We only lose five
off a squad of sixty next fall so we should be back there in 1941.

I appreciated the conversations I had with you during the period I
was ‘out of work' and want to thank you for the encouragement you
gave me. Believe you me it sure makes one feel good at a time like
that.

Congratulations again and I hope that I will get to see you at the Big
Six meeting at Lincoln next week.

Sincerely yours,

bliatt

Stan Williamson
Fead Line Coach.
