Allen <= page two; April 17th:

Sinee Basketball is now put away for last season, I will
not diseuss it further, I failed to get there this year to see a game
and have not seen Max play since his last game in high school here.

I note by UD Kansan that Max did quite well in the
weights in a meet there and out here I thot he was a good weight
thrower for his weight, that is for a boy who does not weigh at least
200 pounds, as usually the wt, men are Heavy es ‘ |

As to razor I sent other day will say. Iwas nob trying
to be pretentious at all, Quite some time back I made a contract
with Gillette to take a lot of razors in exchange for some adv. space,
The razors were extra good jones but they were over=stocked on some
models and then the electn@ razor slowed the sale of the 'arm-strong!
type some, So I got a lot of them and I have given them to Dynamo
players for years, Also to other friends,

You are welsome to this one whether you use it or not.
if the draft goes far enough to take you, I suggest you take the razor
along and give some of the Japs as close a shave as you canes On the
market now such razors are not obtainable,

Iwas just thinking of what a team you could have
next year if you could have all those boys back again, I be#lieve you
could win everything.

They will all be in a bigger game, tho, and the tragedy
is that some of them will likely not come back, Max is finishing a
course there with someg~mavigation and areial photography and will soon
be going on to another base,

I have been wondering what about the situation there as
to atheltic director, What can you say about it? That is, will a
permamant selection be made soon or will it be after the war is well
settled? Glad to have any suggestion you can make on it as I am ine
terested and talk to a good many persons about it, Are you interested
in the Directorship again? I see that Eugene Kemper spouts off some
ones in a while, He evidently has a sore spot somewhere, IT am going
to have a talk with him some time and get him to say something.

Kindest regards to all your people and hope you have a
good summer and that some of these times the war will draw to an end,
Might be down that way and if so will drop along to tell you the lowe
down on cverything? I have some offer to work out at Eudora but do
not know if it would be worth taking up.

Glad to hear from you any timex
