DEAR PHOG::

WAS GLAD TO GET YOUR LETTER, BUT SORRY TO HEAR THAT
HORACE MASON WAS ABOUT TO BE TURNED OUT IN THE COLD. YOU RECALL
WE MENTIONED HIM DURING OUR RECENT ENJOYABLE VISIT, COMMENTING
ON WHAT AN EXCELLENT JOB HE DID, AND ff THINK THEY WILL GO A
LONG WAYS TO FILL HIS SHOES ONCE THEY TURN HIM LOOSE. HE'S A
FINE AND CAPABLE BOY.

WOULD GLADLY DO ANYTHING I COULD TO HELP HIM GET SIT-
UATED, PHOG, BUT AM AFRAID MY EFFORTS ARE LIMITED. | AM NOT IN
DIRECT CONTACT WITH NEWSPAPERS ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE
OPENINGS, AND WS FOR THE AP, IT'S JUST A CASE OF BEING AROUND
WHEN AN OPENING TURNS UP. IF HE IS INTERESTED IN THE APy MY
ADVICE WOULD BE TO DROP IN ON PAUL MICKELSON AT KANSAS CI TM
AND TALK IT OVER WITH HIM. HE WOULD BE IDEALLY FITTED FOR A
SPORTS PUBLICITY JOB WITH SOME BIG COLLEGE, BUT AGAIN THAT IS
BEYOND MY SCOPE. SO ALL IN ALL, ABOUT THE BEST 1 CAN DO IS
WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK AND EXPRESS SINCERE REGRETS THAT I
CAN'T DO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DOe

REALLY ENJOYED OUR BRIEF VISIT HERE. IT WAS JUST LIKE
A BREATH FROM HOME TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACE WHEN | WALKED IN.
1 AM SAVING ALL THAT MATERIAL YOU GAVE ME AND WHEN THE TIME
ROLLS AROUND WILL GIVE IT THE WORKS.

PLEASE TELL HORACE | AM SOARY-HE MUST LEAVE Ke Ueg
AND THAT | HOPE HE GETS LINED UP QULEKEYS |

f
