Dear Dr. Allens

Thanks very much for sending me Clyde McBride's
column. I hadn't seen it.

When Mark Cox's article was accepted, I suggested
that we ought to get that story of yours, which
we had been corresponding about, and run the

two on facing pages. However, lir. Gingrich

much that we shouldn't give basketball that

much space. ence the one-sided jobe

Evidently there was a real controversy
aveilable, end I certainly regret that
we did not present both sides of the picture.

I imagine Cox got most of his material from
Edwards, since he was publicity mm at
Missouri, which probably accounts for

everything.

When the idea of the double-spread was
turned down, I did not followp your
suggested piece. That is, however, the
way I think the thing should have been
hendied, and it would have made a good
set-upe

Yours most cordially,
