Dear "Phog":

Quite a nice write-up of you in the last issue
of the Saturday Evening Post. Atta boy! That son of yours
is certainly exemplifying his dad. I am sure you derive
much joy from his sterling performances. Had a letter
from "Junebug" Moore recently. His son, Brian, who has
now finished his law course, is engaged to be married and
has become associated with an excellent law firm in L.A.
Suppose you long since heard the sad news of poor old
Stan Meyers! death. He certainly experienced rough
sledding during the past few years -- family troubles,
financial difficulties and ill health.

Some months ago 0. B. Hartley (K.U.'08), now
living in Olympia, Washington, was in Portland. We wrote
you a letter at the time requesting, if possible, your
finding a football picture he had taken of me in 1907
kicking a field goal in a Colorado-K.U; game. Dr. Naismith
had asked for it and he had given him the film. 0. B.
said that you were administrator of Naismith's estate, and
we were in hopes that you could locate the film or picture
and forward it to me. Will you please try?

Haven't seen "Pin" Coble for some time, but under-
stand that he is getting along in good fashion.

Hope 1941 is brimful of vigorous health and con-
tentment for you and yours. As Ever

DUTZ
