Dear Dr. Allen:

I'm a little late sending to you my congratulations on
your "25th" coaching anniversary. WNever-the-less, I thought
ebout you and couldn't help being very much impressed with the unusual
unusuel record that you have run up. I couldn't help but
think, ‘how does he do it, year in and year out." I also
want to congratudate you on winning another Big Six title,
and the N Ov As As play-offs.

I certainly would like to see your team in action ageinst
the (other Kansas) team, which you play Friday night. It
should be an outstending game. I ceén't help but think now much
you thought of Frosty Cox, when he was in school at x.U., and
how much elike in neture you two fellows g6re. I understand
that you two néve hed some differences of opinion? I know it
doesn't concern me, but I do think its too bed you two don't
forget your little individual differences and get togetner sgain.

I'm teking a load of boys to Topeka tomorrow to see the
semi-finels and finéls of the State tomnmnement. I thought
perhaps that I would go on to iansas City saturday and see
the finals of the N.C.A.A Then I will get to see the Jayhawks
in action again.

Will it be hard to get tickets to the géme? This is not
a touch, but could I entice you in to using your influence in

helping me obtein some tickets? WF would @ppreciate it if you
could.

Just heard that Newton beat Dodge in the State tournéement
45 to B87. - Poo dad.
