Dr. F.C."Phog™ Allen,
Basketball coach,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Coach:e=

I am doing a book this summer on football, a
histary of the game from its origin at Norman in
1895 through the 1920 season(the year you coached
and played us for the title at Norman).

Later on I shall need some action pictures of Kansas~-
Vklahoma games(we played the first one in 1903 and
haven't missed since) and having heard that a number
of them are stored in an upstairs room in your build.
ing, I thought I would write you and urge you not to
let anybody destroy them until I can take a look at
them next time I am in Lawrence. I might want to
borrow several to be engraved.

Also, when you get a little time, will you write me

what you remember of the strategy and action of the
Kansas-Yklahoma game of '20. Uklahoma won it 21-9

at Norman November 6 but Kansas led at the half, I

have a complete play-by-play; what ! need is to know

what in your opinion beat Kansas, how Kansas scored,

what “ansas players were outstanding and why and what
Oklahoma players looked pretty good and why. Probably

you won t~ remember very much, since the game was played

23 years ago, but I thought I would give you an opportunity.

Harold Keith,
