I had a conversa- tion with my Irish partner in which he stated we had better wait and see what kind of weath- er is going to be on tap the week end that we journey down to your city. If the weather seems propitious, I feel that we would be very happy to avail ourselves of an opportun- ity to play over your new golf course. I do not presume our presence will entail any ex- tended preparation on your part and wonder if it would be all right to wait and ascertain whether we will have weather such as we have today or somewhat similar before letting you know definitely.

The golf clubs are splendid, and my geme has improved, so I will give the clubs the credit for it. I will be glad if you do come up next spring to pley around with you. The football team will stop over in Oklahoma City and will go from there directly to the football field at Norman, I dowbt if Aa would have time to stop in Norman, as I understand they have no hotels there, as yet. This is not intended as a slam at Norman, but the lack of hotel facilities is the _ thing that causes the teams to stop in Oklahoma City. with every good wish, I am Sineerely yours, FCA: AH Director of Physical Education. | Paws VALLE OKLAS, vl Jey Hogg |- en h Ot ele bade Oi ae ee Prot.
