It seems strange that some- times we have very near to us persons with an un- suspected power or ability. I believe your son, Bob, can be credited with being a David from Kansas which slew the Goliath from California. Certainly hopes were dim when the California team presented itself for inspection. Anyway, Mrs. Reid and I are happy with you in your victory.

A number of critics whose word I regard very seriously opined that your achievements of this season comprisedthe greatest coaching triumph in a brilliant, success—studded career. I am sure that the loss of the title game did not dim this estimate. To a man now sitting in the cheaper seats, it seems that you extracted more juice from the orange than nature intended. Many thanks for your courtesies and kindness in arranging for a seat for me. -I had hoped to make an engege- ment for a future meeting to discuss recreation courses in your department and the establishment of an intensive short— course for administrative end technical supervisors.
