My Dear Dr.

I have your letter and the copy from Henshaw.)
Honestly, I don't see how Ab or Karl Jones could deny that
they did a carload of squawking about you putting them on
the spot in the Stillwater game which far from My province to
worry. However, I do want you to know that you had the in-
formation straight, that they were squawking in the first place.

L am most unhappy at your run of bad luck and
I will state 1 was buoyed up to hope that we were on the way at
last, but J guess ktlesegs) s boys jumped too many long shots through
the hoop for us. After'l analyze7your team's weakness, it looks to
me like this is the first ball club that hasn't caught on to your
famous defense tactics. We are getting as many points as in previous
years, but fail to keep the other boys from dumping the ball through
the hole. I hope you can bool on through the rest of the season
undefeated.

I hope that the next time you see mel am at least
one per cent reconciled to your football situation. 1 want you to
know that I haven't changed my opinion one bit. 1 think it was. the
saddest time in the atheletic history of the University of Kmsas
when that crew was pushed in with a five year contract and 1 will
get up on my feet anywhere on any occassion to say so. Believe you
me, it is quite a drop to have a sour puss in charge up thereafter
ha ing a fine personality scintilfate and front for that school for
£0 years.

Don't let it get you down because I realize we
can't all he enthusiastic about the same people.

Ever a friend,
