Dear Cobs

“ell, I guess we were Ii.dding each other and apparently
we didn't make it evident enough in our om minds that the recipient
of the epistle still seems to be confused. Anyhow, let me tell you,
Cob, I inew a1) the time you were ikcdding and I was Kidding right tack.

Yes, we will be happy to be dowm there Merch 8th, and ale
Cini ¢ ths tod Goan GUN eared ¥ WIE tex Rh like the
old man who said that he had “pullman teeth" - one upper and one lower,
but, he said, “Thank God, they hit" So I may be articulate enough to
enswer the purpose. I am sorry I neglected to state in my previous —
letter that I would come, becrnuse I meant to do so, but overlooked it

T dont idke the iden of those fellow: at Nemuan ealiing
the game at 7:45. it mkes us hustle like the dickens to get back to
catch the train. If they would call the gane at 7:30 we could make it,
but it is certainly putting pressure on the boys when they call the
game at 7:30, and hardly give the visitors a chance to take a decent
bath before rushing out in the cold endangering their health.

: , Bruce says Ton Stidham has to cater to the clientele at
Oklahoma City, that they cannot get down from Os Ce in time to see the
geme at 7:30. Well, bless his soul, you tell him that we call our
games at 7350 and people cane from Kansas City, 42 miles away, and they
do not kick about ite

Sepenially te thin ditttedkt now ainos the trein does mst
go through lormen, but is made up at Oklahoma Citys This mkes it tough-e
er than ever on us, but we poor Jayhavwkers must stand this inconvenience
_ for the folks that live 18 miles from Norman.

Now, Cob, I am not trying to get sarcastic. And I am not
worrying about the kidding that I might get es far as our basketball re~
cord is concerned, because while I like to win, I think we can success-
fully compare our wins and losses with most any of the sport teams in
the Big Six and not suffer by comparison. So I get a lot of kick out of
these things, and when I find a fellow kiddingne I like te kid him back
a little. You mow, Cob, how fond I am of you, and when apparently you
get hot and bothered about some of these things at the University I Imow
that it is because of your pride in the University and her possessionse -
You want to see them make the best showing in any canpanye
