Cu Alien Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I want to congratulate you on the wonderful showing the K.U. Basketball Team made this year. Hats off to you. Honestly, when I saw the pre-season games, I was inclined to think that we would be towards the bottom of the Big Six. That was a rash feeling about the matter, because I should have known that you would be able to teach them enough basketball and weld them into a good team, so that they could "go places". The fact that we have second place is splendid, and I am happy for you and all the boys. Thenk you for your little note about the correspondence study papers. Yes, of course, I knew you couldn't take time with the rush to these past weeks to handle those correspondence study assign- ments. Your students know it also, and they are entirely willing to wait until you have time to handle those papers. : I want, also, to thank you for your vine in helping one of our girls, Mildred Carpenter, get into the Kansas State game at Menhatten. If you hadn't assisted her, she couldntt have gone. As it was, she enjoyed every minute and I know it boosted her morale and helped boost the morale of the team. ~ Thank you for your splendid cooperation. Cordi - GUIK.
