Dear Dr. Allen:

Thanks for your willingness to write the article. As
to length, I'l] leave that up to you. I would say, just
as long as you want to make it. It seems to me since so
many of the high school coaches are in the service, that
instructors of academic subjects must be taking over. In
that case, offense and plenty of it will be most acceptable.

The Rice coach, Byron Brannon, is in the navy, so I'm
not sure I will get his article, but am hoping to get the
others, whose teams were top-notch teams.

As to the deadline, I dislike setting one when I'm so
late with the request, but would appreciate it this week,
if possible, as I have an artist working part time and he
can make the sketches the latter part of this week.

Again, many thanks.

Yours very truly,
