Dear Dr. Allen:

Lf. am writing this letter to let you know how things
are progressing here at school.

Up to this time I'm enjoying my work a great deal. »

It is all very interesting and keeps me continually on’
my toes. One thing which makes it interesting is the
fact that something new happens every day which must be
overcome or taken in stride. All aren't pleasant and
all aren't unpleasant; but it is the mixture that keeps
one on the move,

At the present in basketball, we have won six and
lost one. Two victories and one deféat in the league.
I have a swell bunch of kids to work with and I believe
the makings of a swell tean, barring unforeseen accidents
or happenings,

t have seen three of you're games this winter and
have been impressed greatly by the team's action. I'm
surely hoping as strong as possible for the Big Six
Championship, but I realize that no team is a set-up as
shown last Friday evening. That must have been a great
one to win.

On February 12th you play Iowa State at Lawrence and
{ was planning on bringing some of my boys up since we
have no game that week. Would it be possible to get a
rate on tickets for them? There are some who have never
Seen a Kansas basketball team play and I've told them
they've never seen basketball until they do, so they have

,. been on me to bring them up.

thanks for your attention.

Sincerely
