Dear Dr. Allen:

I have your letter of April 10th asking
that I come to Lawrence for the Relays next
week end. I had intended writing you anyway
and so I will cover éverything in one fetter.

I want to especially thank you for the
ticket for your game with Indiana in Kansas
City. We surely enjoyed it and I hardly know
how I can repay you for the courtesy. I had
hoped K.U. would win but I guess fate was
against you that night. Indiana is good but
I think your boys would have played a much
closer game and possibly have won on any other
night,

As to the Relays. I had hoped during the
year to attend them and see some of the fine
oreformers. However, our Portis track team
is entered:in a meet out in this section
April. 20, and since we have been entered for
some time, it. will be just about impossible
for me to get away. I am interested in track
and want to qualify for the state meet. if I
can. I participate in the shot, discus: and
javelin.

The past basketball season was a great
one I thought, and I enjoyed it from all angles.
I saw your.team play the games at Topeka and
» LKHat- ast one,

I. want to thank you for the tagibation to
the Relays and wish that I could attend but
feel sure it will be imvossible.

With kindest regards, I am,

Very sincerely

Max Kissell
