Mr. John W. Bumn, Deen of Men,
Stanford University,
California. ;

Dear Johmnie:

I have intentionally held your letter of January 24th on my desk so
that I could reminisce a little on that 1920 Nebraska game. But I am
leaving for Chicago Sunday to attend Rotary International. They have
elected me Governor of this District #123, and it is imperative that I
attend. So Iam just penning a-few lines to you before leaving.’

When George Nettels and I toast our feet in the fall or winter days
our conversation always reverts back to that Nebraska game, and you come
in for a large share of the disoussion. I will never forget those last
few tense moments.

I am sending you a copy of our Jayhawk Rebounds in which is a yarn
about Bill Johnson when he flew back after his father's death in Oklahom
City. Knowing Hugh MoDermott and the background on all of this stuff, I
thought you would enjoy it. It also gives the dope on our family - where
they are and what they are doing.

I was going to pem a line or two on the gambling situation. I wired
Ned Irish the names of those fellows and it did not dawn on me that Ned
never gave that information out. He knew a year before I sprung the story
all about the expose, but the newspaper men and Ned held it wder cover.
He is a shrewd businessman, and of course it would have cost hima lot of
money to have broken the story. But it would have been better for him had
-he done it. I am firmly convinced that when scandals like this break they
are dangerous. It is not over, by any means, in the east. These boys have
been doing this thing for several years, and the wise boys kmow it.

My kindest regards to you, Bonnie and Mrs. Huff. Be seeing you some
day soon, I hope. ae

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
