My dear Dr. Allen:

It strikes me that you are either a softy or a phoney.
I never expected to see the day when you would admit
that your ball club could not be in the money on the
home stretch, as per your recent press announcement on
O. U.'s championship chances.

I took this all with a grain of salt until today when a
letter came from Fred Ellsworth suceesting that you
would be here fro a series between 0. U. and the Aggie
game for the N.C.A. Championships.

I-don't know what kind of a ball club you have this year,
but it certainly must be sorry if ycu are going to fold

up in front of 0. U. They have played one beautiful

ball game this year. That was against the “egies at
Stillwater. They didn't have to play basketball against
Towa Stete as Boob )¥enz has about the’ most terrible ball
club that ever piayed in the Big Six. Kansas State played
rings around the team Saturday night. The seniors had

the jitters and the sophomores plunged enough balls to
winr the game.

BHnough of that, Fred Hllsworth is very unhappy with me

so 1 suggested we would have a Kansas turnout for the
basket ball team when you came down for your joust

March 8. We will try: and have a luncheon, and it will

be a fairly large one, and’ we want you to be prepared

to dish out a little of your Jay-Hawker Spirit.
Chancellor Malott will be here Friday nicht, but I wen't
have the good fortune to shake his hand as I have another
engagement on that date,
