Mr. Dan Partner,
Sperts Editor,

The Kansas City Star,
Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Dan:

Thenk you for your very good letter of recent date. Person-
ally, Dan, I am not hard on the boys from Aggieville. They are a
fine, aggressive, ambitious group of young chaps who want to get
eshead, and who can blame them for that?

It is interesting to note your correspondence from the down-
town quarterbacks fram Manhattan. I am surprised that I was not
mentioned in that smear campaign conducted by my collaborators.

I feel a little hurt thet they left me out -- or did they? Maybe
you just didn't want to hurt my feelings - I em so sensitive to
criticisn.

One of the boys told me this morning thet Ward Heylett told
a Class B boy in basketball that "Phog" Allen didn't fool wjth
any Class B boys, he just had to have the big shots. I can t be-
lieve that Ward said such a naughty thing. Bruce Voran was’a
a ee ee ee ee ee ee
I have had.

But, Dan, I just wrote you for the fun of it. I didn't have
any Spanish bleod even on the surface.

I took your letter home and read it to the family. They were
happy to hear from youe I saw Dr. Peete Saturday night at Jane's
wedding at our home and we had a nice visit. Dr. and lirs. Peete
both think you are tops. iI will be wanting to see you and have ea
chat with you, and I guess the only chance I will have is to drop
in and see you. I always enjoy your writings. You seem to be
alive to the real situation.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
