Dear Harold :

- I am writing you concerning my impressions of the Okla-
bits iiees Gaited? auiie lave a Beaman. Wikcieis: a mecubur
6, 1920. I am wondering if you would be kind enough to send me the
“0 Laake I will
give you a sketchy background of my impressions now, and after I
gu Se Snes Sede Pa, Gail: SAT, ec tae hes hea Tee tnt
here, then I will augment this with some personal accounts of the
players. By the way, you had better send me a line-up of the Okla-
homa team and the men participating because I remember Dr. Phil white
who did the punting.

Dr. White had a dislocated shoulder prevention strap. It
was attached to the shoulder and anchored to the football pants by a
belt. I only mention this to let you know that I remember a lot of

We had not lost a game up to the time we played Oklahoma,
having beaten Weshburn, Emporia Teachers under Bill Hargiss, Drake,
Ames and the Kansas Aggies. It was Bachman’s first year at Kansas
State and we had quite a ball game with him. Then we met Oklahoma at
Worman. As I recall, there were few benches, if any, on the sidelines
and most of us, as I recall, ee ee
on the sidelines.

I remember Mechem, who was Bennie Owens‘ assistant - I be-
lieve it is Dean Mechem now. He was pretty fiery. The coaching staffs,
moving up and down the @idddines, had opportunity for conversation with
each other, which as the game progressed got spirited at times. I men-
tion this because not only the coaches and players, but a number of
spectators formed a flange along the sidelines.

If you will give me the order in which the teams scored
I will tell you which touchdown was scored by Oklahoma by the end
running out around behind the players and coaches, off the field of
play, and coming in back on the field behind the defensive man, John
Bunn, who is now dean of men at Stanford. Bunn was looking for him
to vome down the field, but he came behind the coaches and players,
and scored a touchdown.
