Dear Doctor Allen:

In the first place please accept my sincere congratula-
tions for yourself and the splendid team representing the
University of Kansas. There is no shadow of a doubt in my mind
but that the Kansas team was the:-best team in the Big Six
Conference and I was happy to see it demonstrated.

It was with real pleasure I learned of your being voted
the best basketball coach in the United States. This is a just
rating of your ability and is aoe es Mike and I have voted
you for many years.

In the second place I wish to learn that in case Kansas
defeats Creighton this week would you care to have a play-off
between Kansas and Creighton at a later date to determine the
Fifth District's representative? If Creighton wins the coming
game there would be no need to have a play-off and the Selection
Committee could simply name Creighton the representative.

It would expedite matters a little if you could inform
me of your wishes on this subject.

Very truly yours,
