Dear Dr. Allen,

We are very sorry not to have written
sooner, but you know how busy a person is trying to get settled
in a new job and a new home at the same time. However we are
getting pretty well straightened out now.As you know I was in
Oklahoma City for two weeks in August helping Coach Cox with the
All Star game. Coach Cox hadthe boys from northern Oklahoma
and Tom Stidham from the southern part. The game turned out very
successfully with a victory for us by a score of 20-0 (You know
how I like to beat that 0.U. bunch). The stadium at Capitol Hill
High School was filled to capacity with sometkiage over 7000
people attending.The Oklahoma High School Athetic Association
cleared at least $1500 on the game.

I am very well pleased with my job here,
have a very nice staff to work with. They really appreciate the
value of a trainer around their boys. As you know, the facilities
for a training room around an old gymnasium are quite inadequaté
but nevertheless I have been able to take care of the boys in good
shape so far. Old injuries from years previous that were not
taken care of are causing me the most difficulty at the present
time., such as bad knees and old Charley horses. It will certainly
be a pleasure when the new field house is finished and I can
step into a well equipped training room.

Football practice started last Saturday
and scrimmaged th first day, but the boys were out being
conditioned under my supervision from the first of September.

Our first game will be here September 17th with Central Teachers
of Oklahoma. We have a very nice squad out, numbering about

fifty boys. The boys seem to be very appreciative for my working
with them. If we don't meet up with too many injury casualties we
mhould have a fair year considering our tough schedule. As you
probably know we meet Arkansas we xt week and Baylor the Week
following that.

You asked me inguire about hotel
facilites in Stillwater. Doc, I don't care about recommending
any of the hotels here because they aren't very good. The Grand
Hotel seems to be the best. The price they quoted to me was $1.00
per man per night and have only doublé beds in their hotel. I will
drop in at the other two hotels in the near future and get their
prices.
