Dear Dr. Allen:-

Ne I haven't fergetten the red necktie but
te be real frank I had until yeu predded me about it. And
since Hyatt worked our Kansas State game Friday nite he also
confirmed your belief that I had lost it fairly and squarly
se I might as well start leokine for one of these fire sales
and get yeu a good $2.00. I tee am fond of red neckties se
I think I can do right by you on my choice selection.

Thanks fer the kind letter of congratulations
but after the way you treated me at Lawrence makes me even shudder
te even think of what might be at stake March 8th. I appreciate
these roses even right in the middle of the season but you knew
as well as I de that your ball club is right in there 100% and
are in a goed spot. I'll grant yeu that we knowked Missouri in
at Celumbia and felt xkak at the time was a strategic Bhew for
us but I alse knew that anything can happen in Basketbell and I'm
not even thinking in berms of the games in March but playing the
immediate game that confronts us now, Nebraska.

The story that came out of Norman (Special)
with the Canery feathers remarks concerning your remarks about
the smooth Oklahoma Team out ef Kansas City was deped up somewhat
by our cerrespendant. Gardner's team played a whale of a ball
game here in Nerman and deserves a. lot of credit with the material
he has this year. I'm afraid they won't be in very good shape
fer Missouri Menday nite for Seelye, Rebertson and Reid received
slight injuried in ovr Bame here Friday mite. Be on the lookout
for a bex and goed luck te you in all but one of your remaining

AMOS

P. Se. My steno. is out on Sunday-any mistakes were purely accidentisal.
