SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE W. W. PARKER, PRESIDENT CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI December 11 1941 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Doc": Yes, your Better Basketball came some time ago. I enjoyed especially the tales at the end. No effort at pun on "tail". I am sure Bobby and Jimmy Hirsch will prize most highly the autographed copy of your book. Yes, the arch normalizer came several days ago, and I believe it is going to provide worthwhile exercise. With our chins up we must be up and at Japan and Germany. I hardly think Mussolini counts any longer. Mrs. Parker joins me in extending the season's greetings to you and Mrs. Allen. Most sincerely yours, W. We UT arte President
