Dear Phog:

We regret that you were not m king the trip with the team,
‘altho, as far as the weather is concerned, you did not miss anythinge
It has been a bitterly damp day, with the thermometer around 40, and
one of our nasty west winds, and the field was very soft, even swim-
ming in spotse It was saay 20 see that the K U players were much
handicapped by this last condition, They put up a good game against
a West Virginia team that seem@ to come to life today as it has not
this whole seasone :

I can appreciate how much it means to you to be director
of physioal education and basketball coach instead of director of
athletios, which at best, even with a winning team in most sports,
including football, is a thankless taske However, I always thought
that you were the kind of straight—shooting man that job needs; but
it is hardly fair to wish that job on your kind of man eithere

Maybe when you drive east to get your Eleanor and Bob,
Mrse Allen and yourself will give us the pleasure of stopping bye
We're almost on US 40, just 25 miles south of Tildutews, Pes We'll
be hoping in that directione

Please remember me to the men of Rotary who were members
back in 1931-33. .I will be grateful to be remembered to Mrs, Allen, ©
and Mrs. Lindley, when you see her. With every best wish, I am

Sinoerely,

(ott. Wb err
