Dear Doc:

As I sat watchin’ the ball game last evening, I
believe I got almost as big a thrill at seeing

your son go to town as you did, If there was ever

a boy who played a game, worthy of the Allen name

it was your son Bob last evening. I am not thinking
only of the fine offensive game which he played, but
rather the way he dogged that ball off the backboard
on defense against those fellows 6'4" tall and more
and the way he would come out of that pile with the
ball, regardiess of where he was or how far down the
court on offensive he had been.

wee I think it is a real tribute to the lad and -
certainly he deserves all the praise that anybody
can give him,

When he was slipping in those one handed shots,

both left or right handed, it looked like "DeBernardi”,
I swear above me, I have geen the big red-head play
many a ball game, but I never saw him do his stuff any
better than Bob did last evening.

Another thing that I know warmed your heart, was the fact
that he got the points when you needed them. It was his
offensive brilliancy which sparked that ball club to a tre-
menduous victory last evening.

Again I say congratulations to you, Boy. JI hope you
are still at it when my boy gets up there. With best
personal regards, I am,

Cordially yours,
