Dear Mac:

_-E eamet let this opportunity pass without
thanking you for the masterful way in which you presented |
the Mark Cox article. Your fairness in giving everybody

sredit for everything that was done only set out the more
foreibly the omissions that apparently Mark made. |

The deft projections of your very versatile
pen would cause people to go back and read the Esquire

article even if they had never seen it. I em sure that
Ralph Cannon, who has charge of sporte for Esquire, will
interrogate Mr. Cox on Independence Hall, and so forth.

Awl again, de ik Oe eek cin ee cee
ly for your generosity and hospitality in entertaining Mrs.
Allen and me to dimer at the Netional Intercollegiate
finals. It was an evening theroughly enjoyed to the fullest
extent with my good friends. We appreciate thie more than
you can know, as we do this fine article.

Sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education, |
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Ceach.
