STANFORD UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA December 18, 1941 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I am returning herewith Charly Bayles! check for Rose Bowl tickets. The tickets were delivered to me on Monday but in view of the cancellation of the game, I returned them immediately. Charly will have to travel to North Carolina if he desires to see the game. The Commanding General of the Ninth Corps Area has cancelled many sporting events here on the coast as the result of defense activities and practice blackouts, which the authorities have attempted to make us believe are the real thing. I happen to be a person who does not scare very easily, and while I believe that we should prepare for eventualities, I am somewhat disgusted at the method used. I can't believe that people are quite that gullible. With the heartiest of the Season's Greetings, I am Cordially yours,
