Dear Phog :-

My sister, Mrs, Catherine Kreamer asked

me to write you and thank you for the very courteous way

you treated her and the Halls when they met you in Lawrence
Monday. And especially was I to thank you for the seats to

the Game, From the way my Sister talked about you I am pretty
sure that the famous Dr. Allen has made another sincere friend
and that has never to date hurt any one.(The Halls were already
in that category).

I was sorry to note that the boys were sick
or weakened by the Flu when they started on that Eastern
Trip as that is so weakening no one can function at full
effeciency while even slightly under the influence. I have
no doubt that was the, difference between the Teams in both
games, Also I am sure they could have taken Oklagoma had -it.
not been for the after effects. Congratulations on the Iowa
State Game as that was the Team from pre-Season and pre-
Conference dope I was afraid would be too much for K U,

My Sister reports that Vance and Jim looked pretty good
Monday night and I am glad for them and for you too,

Downs tried to play with two regulars out
and three others just recovering from the Flu and lost to
a Team they could have beaten 20 points. Smith Center took
us 51-40 last night but had to wait until the last two regulars
just had to give up before getting the lead in the game,
I haven't seen anyone play out this way so far this year
in whom you would have any interest. If I do see a player
during this Season I will go to work on him through all the
channels as I like to see my section of the State represented
at & YU,

With kindest personal regards to yourself
and Mrs, Allen, and with very best wishes for 1941 and the
years to come, I an,

Sincerely Yours,

UN Peeve

PS - If the Bank Examiners don't drop in on us in the
morning I may have to take the boys to K.C. to see
their Dentist & if so will see the game Thurs, in
Lawrence and will try to say = oo while there.
