Dear Dr. Evans:

I committed one of the worst blunders that I have
ever comaitted in all my coaching experience. Ray spoke to me
about your desiring to see the game at Columbia and I told him I
would have the three tickets for him and fully intended to do so.

Generally during the season there are a great number
of boys that desire tickets for their parents and relatives, but
it so happened in this case that Ray was the only one who had asked —
for tickets. I always check on these detaila with the boys and
have them write on an envelope the name of their parents or relatives
who want the tickets, and the mumber. Ray being such a modest chap
did not mention it to me at all at Columbia, and in the hurly-burly
high-pressure moments that we had at Columbia it entirely escaped
my mind.

__on the way beck from Golimbia Rey was riding in the
car with me and I asked him about it. I said, "By George, Ray, I
forgot all about the tickets for your brother. Was he there?" And
he said, “Well, I didn't see hin, but someone else said he was there."

So I am writing you to offer my full apologies end to
extend sincere regret. I want you to tell me the price that you paid
for those tickets. I will cet a refund from the Athletic Association
and send you the money because, first, I desire to do it above all
bgp end secondly, because Ray never asks for unusual favors and

would feel out of place wless this one were granted

estimate the price and send you a refund for thos three tickets.

And further, I pledge you that I will never forget
because I so seldom do such a thing thet it embarrasses me
end. I wish that you might have come down to the dressing room
the

you
to no
after game and said hello. Remember, this invitation always
