Dear "Phog":

T can't let the opportunity pass without thanking
you for the many courtesies you showed my boys and me at the
All-College. It was a real privilege to get to talk with you,
and to get to kmow your boys. They are a swell bunch and I'm
predicting you will have one of the best teams in the comtry
after they have played tocether for a few weeks. It was cer-
tainly no disgrace to lose to Ibats experienced and well-coached
teame Had either of us spent as many hours in drill as that
team had, it would have been quite a different score.

Please give my best regards to all the fellows. I
am looking forward to many years of sports contact with you and
the University.

With best wishes for a very successful season, I am

Sincerely,
Cu |
