Dear Phog:

I wrote you a letter the day before your Missouri game and the
25th Anniversary Celebration. I want to explain that I would
like to have joined your other friends in honoring you on that
eceasion, but I waS not up to it physically. Bobby Lynn and Tt
had planned to be there and my failure prevented his going. )

I am happy to have the information that you had a great time and
that so many of your former players and friends contributed to
the success of the affair. I am looking forward to seeing the
Graduate Magazine for a complete account.

It is not in the Spirit of vanity that I commend your ds dion vk aw

If they had one that jolted them any harder, please let me ye

Lt am sorry that you, couldn't go on through to the M.C. AAs. findke,
but you are really in‘a ball game even if you get dunked ‘by two”
points. You have a great ball club and I think you did a good
job for this year. The tong war goes on and:on down in the red
clay country. We are to have a Navy Relief play-off game between
QO.U. and the Aggies next Tuesday night. Their game at Norman was
a honey and 1 am béginning to suspect that.0.U. has a pretty fair
ball club. I tried to tell you and your boys that this was the
best team since 1928-1929 and on some nights I am not so sure but
what it is the best team they have ever had.
