Dear Dr. Allen:

| I tried to answer your letter of April 14th in
person but found that you had taken on the baseball team
for a‘little relaxation during the spring and as a con-
sequence you were at Ames at the time I called at the
office.

Your report of the final play-off on the NCAA
tallied very closely with the reports which Everett Dean
brought to me. Jack Friel seems to be in the habit of
pulling stunts which are not the most strategic or which
have not the desired psychological effect on his boys. In
any case they certainly seemed to be playing under par
against Wisconsin. It is undoubtedly true, however, that
the type of game Wisconsin played against Washington State
affected the results a great deal. It is too bad that we
have to put up with such unsportsmanlike playing.

George Nettles came up from Pittsburg for a short
visit. It was good to see him. You probably know that we
saw the Rose Bowl game together. It was fun to be around
the campus. Since I have become Dean of Men my trips east
have become more infrequent. It was for this particular
reason that I enjoyed seeing so many of my old friends.

The campus certainly looked fine. I would like to get back
for Commencement and help with the Seventy-Fifth Celebration
but I am afraid my recent trip east exhausted the family
budget.

Sorry that I missed you.

Sincerely yours,

a
