Dear Mr, McBride:

Sometime ago a clipping was sent to me of
your comments in the Star in regard to whom ane
should receive praise for the success of the : et ae
N.C.A.A. Basketball Tournaments. + appreciate Bes.
your article very much. ae

You, as well as I, do not wish to take any credit ee
from Messrs. Olsen and Edwards for their fine work ee
in the N c.A.A. Tournaments, but I kmow as well as
you that Phog Allen is the man who brought us out
of the red and established us on the firm footing

| we now have, and it was Kansas City who so nobly
- rallied behind our tournaments. “hile we do not
all agree with Phog in everything, 1 do want to take
this occasion to hand all bouquets possible to him
hate ‘fer making possible the continuation of the NG sdeks,
‘ 2 Tournaments 8
