June 21, 1943.

Mr. Harold Keith,
Intercollegiate Athletics,
University of Oklahoma,

Yes, I remember rather vividly the game of 1920 although
it was 23 years ago. When I have a little more time I will write you
my recollections of the same. Dr. Meachem was Beanie Owens' assistant
and I remember how Meachem, Bennie and all of us sat along the sideline,
all of us on the same side, and friend Meachem and I got into quite a
heated debate. It seems unusual for me to get into a heated debate with
any Oklahoma coach, doesn't it, Harold?

But I remember - - - well, I will write you all the details
when I have a little more time. I am teaching conditioning classes at
7:30 and 8:30 every morning and then I have ea class in Theory and Practice
of Athletic Training at 9:50, so I am one of those early birds in Kansas
thig summer. oa

Regarding the action pictures, I will certainly preserve all
of the pictures that I can for youe In fact, this summer on some cool day
I will see if I can’t take a look although I am not too optimistic about
whet condition the pictures are in. For 18 years I had them humg in my
athletic office, but 7 years ago when the change was made in the director-
ship they moved all that stuff away. . :

We really need someone in every institution to preserve
traditions and all that goes with it, but in the press of business most
people forget it. I think you are doing a swell thing to do what you are aS
doing this sumer. “hen Earl Potter was here I tried to get him to do
exactly the same thing but he generally went to Colorado in the summer
and that side of the work is still suffering. We did keep definite
records from 1923 on, and these include newspaper write-ups and all very
necessary data. But before that is where we have suffered. I wish we had
a fellow like you up here.

With all good wishes to you and your gang, I eam

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
