Dear Phog:

- When you were in Lincoln last Saturday I had the pleasure
of meeting you at the Chamber of Commerce and if you will recall
we were discussing George Rohde. ‘Then when I saw the game, and
saw you afterwards, I meant to ask you if your boy Kissell was
from Portis, Kansas. It runs in my mind he might be some of the
Kissells who used to play a lot of basket ball and base ball in
that part of Kansas when I was a lad in high school and I have
played many a basket ball and base ball game against them. Portis
is not far from Cawker City. This Kissell boy looked good while
you had him in there Saturday night, and I just “CREE he might
be of the same family.

I want to congratulate you again on the fine Club you have
this year and they show you have put a lot of time with the boys,
and every time I get a chance to see one of your teams in action
I always take advantage of it. You have had many fine years of
success at K.U. and I have followed you with interest all during
the years. I just want to add my congratulations to you for the
fine work you are doing down there.

I was glad to see you again last Saturday and visit with
you a short while. I notice you took Iowa State last night quite
badly and I was surprised to see Missouri beat Oklahoma. I hope
you continue to enjoy good years and I expect to be watching your
team play in Lincoln for years to come.

With cordial regards, I an,

Sincerely yours,

és Mein:

Walker Battey.
