Dear Dr. Allen:

Congratulations to you and the boys as Champioms of the Big Six Con-
ference. Your winning of championships does seem like an old story,
but it certainly is compensation to us Jayhawkers down here in Sooner
territory after these disastrous football seasons. Nice going, Doc,
it's really a great feeling to see you continually "whip Hell out of

them",

It has been quite some time since I have written so I'll bring you

up to date on my activities. I am now the very proud father of a
seven month old daughter. Also, I am now working in Bartlesville
permanently. I have a very interesting job and one that I like very
much in the Department of Economics. At present, I am deferred from
the army, but am rather anxious to be called. I1 feel quite conspicious
as a civilian and to be home while most of my friends are off fighting

somewhere.

We have a basketball team here at Phillips this year but we are not
taking any extended road trips. They are not allowing basketball to
interfere with our work in any way, and I am really happy about that.

Give my best regards to Mrs. Allen and the family.

Respectfully,

FJP:LL studs A Pale
