EDITORIAL ROOMS COUNTRY GENTLEMAN AMERICA’S FOREMOST RURAL MAGAZINE ROBERT H. REED EDITOR THE CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY INDEPENDENCE SQUARE - PHILADELPHIA April 2, 1942 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Dep't of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: I've been so dazed over this sudden promotion that I am badly behind in acknowledging the nice letters that came in. I really appreciated having your enthusiastic note, but it makes me ashamed that I didn't send you at least fifty tele- grams of congratulations on the fine things your basketball team did this year. Bill Stetson had a fine year with his Swarthmore tean, although he lost four games by one point. He talks about you every time I see him. One of his boys, Stan Cope, who is my hero, finished his college career by scoring forty-one points. That's a hot man, Phog. I hope to see you before long. With good wishes to you and your family. Cordially yours, RHR: S “3 O , Meek
