Dear Doctor:

Congratulations to you for the recent trouncing which our boys
handed Oklahoma!! I felt that you would give them a good defeat, but not
by such a decisive margin.

It was very gratifying to me in view of the fact that by some manner
or means one of our Kansas boys is playing for them. You know, 0. U. played
either Loyola or DePaul a few weeks ago here in Chicago. This boy Tucker re-
ceived many fine remarks, although Oklahoma lost the game. Nothing was said,
however, about where or how he came from. Incidentally, I enjoyed the article
in the Chicago Tribune January 10th in which you reviewed Oklahoma's beckoning
of out of state athletes. It was very good and quite timely.

From being in your classes, I believe that I pretty well understand
your attitude on such things and I am glad that some one has had the courage
to speak out. One thing is certain, your season will be successful, win or
lose. We always know which team the wmposition fears most.

I got hold of DePaul's schedule a few days ago, and I discovered that
on January 51 that K. U. will play. Last year when you were in Chicago I had
to work. However, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing this game.

I am still working for the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America
as is another K. U. man, Louis Stallard, e'40. We plan to see your game to-
gether, so please win this one for "we boys away from home",

Wishing you a very prosperous and happy new year, and with kindest
personal regards, I am,

Yours truly,

Ronald Milam - b'40
