Dear Doc:-

Enclosed please find cashier's check for ten simoleons to get me
four(4) tickets to the game here Saturdays The reason in being late is tliat
I've been up into the state of Nebraska and just got back last week in time

to go to Columbia to the Oklahoma-Missouri game. I had all ready gotten my
tickets there from George Edwards, but didn't get down there in time to get

- any for November 24. I know that if there are any left you and Mr. Falkenstein
will. lasso four for me. I saw him and C.E. McBride just before the Nebraska-
Kansas games In spite of the score, it was close, and with a bit of luck Kansas
would have wone

The price of the tickets may be $2.25 or it may be $2.50 each, but
if it be the former, just buy your self some tomato jiuce with the remainder.
I'm enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your reply. Just this one
time please extend yourself for me, and I'll appreciate it very much, and not
practice the lasiis-faire doctrine againe I saw Sylvester Thomas(Sol) McInen-
erney the other day in Omaha(he's our special agent out of Des Moines) and the’
big Celt weighs 215 pounds, which is 18 more than I do. Soth of us could well
have served our country during the recent hostilities by letting ourselves be
sold for larde I'll bet Sol couldn't jump 14 feet in broad jump now, with all
that weight.

I am making no predictions on the game. When Purdue beats Ohio State,

UCLA b6a%s St. Marys, etc. I give upe I put one dollar on a parlay this week
on a ten game guess and hit nine of theme Needless to say, I didn't get any
money for that ninety per cent guesse

Regards,
