Dear "Phog"s

It was a keen disappointment to me that a sudden
change in my schedule on my recent visit to Kansas deprived
me of the opportunity of visiting with you, congratulating
you in person on your remarkable coaching feat and witnessing
the championship game. 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. Perhaps
we can arrange for such 4 meeting.

Where will you be toward the end of July? With best
personal regards, I am

Cordi ;

G. Ott Romney, a.
