Dr. "Fog" Allen
Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear "Fog":

Again, I want to congratulate you on your
recent victories over Oklahoma and Iowa. Surely, :
you have been able to do “wonders” with our boys i
there at K, U. 4

How I would like to see the football ,
climb to the pinnacle we have enjoyed in basket-
ball. Maybe that time is now beginning under the
advent of Mr. Sauer.

"Fog", it is a long trek back to the night
many years ago in Mankato when Wint Smith called © ;
me, the grade school principal, and asked me for 4
a pair of my pants for "Fog" Allen to wear while
he (Fog) refereed a basketball game between Man-
kato and Belleville.

Next, I met you on the Summer Session Base-
ball Team in 1921. You, Wint and I all played on
it. While I was assistant State Superintendent under
W. T. Markham, I met you many times. I always enjoy
your talks here in Topeka before our various civic
organizations.

Very truly yours,

RDH:bjm Gel c
