re Cu Os Burnside,
Carpanter Paper Cos,
Oklehome City, Okla.

Dear Cobs

| Thank you for your good letter. It is mot necessary to

reply to this ome because I will be on my way at the end of next
week for Boone, Iowa. Prior to that I am going up a couple of
deys early to Mason City, Iown, where Charles Strickland, whom
you perhaps remember es a pepper-upper for Phi Psi, is putting on |
@ big rush party at his Clear Lake home.

: He has « golf tournament, boating, swimming, and so forth,
and I imagine he will have all those Iowa rushees with their eyes
popping out for cold Phi Keppa Pei. Ee has me listed es ome of the

part in the beginning it will be a cold day in his part of the
country before another game ig booked.

He started the barrage at Meryville through his friends
on the newspapers, stating that Kansas was afraid of him, The
seme line of argument was used with his friends when he went to
de & UM, If he mentions anything about it I will tell him that 1
do not like this back-door psychology that he operates with.

I em not arguing with you, Cob, because you and I do not
have to do thet, but you state that he played | nat
California last yeer and they both carried away a chunk of dough.
I don't see how they could heave carried away much if he made the
same proposition to them that he is making to me. We don't make
any money at all on a $400.00 guarantee. You also mention that
he can get five thousand wild-eyed fans out for an exhibition with
