Dear Doc3:—

The article that I had read was in Parke Carroll's
paper, so I called him this morning and met him at the Quare
terback Club luncheon. I gave him the copy of your reply to
Brownie, and he said he'd give it his immediate attention. I
‘told Parke that he should give your letter the same amount of
notice that he gave Brownie's, and he promised to do so, and
send me back the cojpy you sent. At the luncheon I saw Quigley,
Henry, and several more of the old-timers. At the Notre Dame
table I saw several guys who looked like they mould have been
up before Judges Reeves and Otis on charges of hop peddling or
vote stealing. I did not see the omipresent Dominic Nigro, who
usually modestly shows himself from a point of vantage or gets
someone else to page him. I guess he was delayed at his office,
due to giving a narcotics prescription. | |

In his speech today Gwin Henry said that the score
cards listed Vike Francis. as weiging 186, whereas he actually
weighed over 200. I recall that Christman was listed at 190,
but actually was over 200. That's another racketeering system.
that pervades college football. What the coaches “ by this
is beyond me, but they all do it. I noticed that Bible was now
paying dividends on his large salary at Texas. Dawson had some
unforseen thing to happenito his Green Wave, or maybe 1% was only
some superior coaching by Jess Nesley of Rice. I was glad that
Stanford lost and should like to see Fordham and Notre Dame also
meet some team better equipped to play them. I should say that
the other team that played those last two should be allowed to
carry black-jacks to offset the stilletos that their native in-=
tuition causes them to carry. The Mussolini boys always think
nothing of kicking a mm when he is down, and other such harmless
diversions.

Have you written to Roy about Mit? If not, his address
is Tower Petroleum Building, F.B.I. office, Dallas, Texas.

Sincerely yours,
