Dear "Phog"

The first thing I want to do this morning (Monday) is
to write and tell you what I have said behind your back many,
many times, and that is that I think you have done a wnder-
ful job this year, not only in bringing that team of yours
through with greater improvement in every game all through
the year, but for your part in the N. C. A. A. Tournament,

It goes without saying that the people in this part of the
country will not soon forget those great games.

That game last Saturday night certainly did bring back
memories of a certain Butler College-K.C.A.C. game back in
1924, Butler sunk baskets from the center of the floor and
made a good percentage of their shots as Indiena did Saturday
night. Honestly, I am commencing to believe that these Indiana
teams are impossible to beat. Anyway, I can imagine that a
certain "Phog" Allen, as well as the rest of us, did get to
see a certain play that the Indiana team did wrk to perfection
for the goal. The play I refer to is the one with the real
low pass which resulted in about four or five goals.

Anyway, old boy, here's one who has always admired you
from the very beginning, and here's hoping you continue to en-
joy good health and happiness for many years to come,

With always my very best personal regards.

Sincerely yours
