Dr. F. Ce Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Doc: This, no doubt, is a surprise, hearing from me in this part of the country. The fact of the matter is, conditions got so bad around St. Joseph, that I decided to try the west coast for a time. This is wonderful country, and outside of the winter rains, the climate leaves nothing to be desired, as it remains mild most of the winter, and there is only a small variation between winter and summer. The only difficulty out here is the fight between the two Unions, which has all but ruined busi- ness for the last three months. However, if they can ever get together, there should be lots of business. I suppose by this time that you are weil on your way to another championship, and also at this time of the year, I yearn to get back into the coaching game. I am in correspondence with Mr. T. A. Bickerstaff, Chairman of the Athletic Commettee, at the University of Mississippi in regard to the basketball position at that school. This school has, in the past, had some real material, and I feel sure that if I could land the place, I could turn out good teams. If you can give me any help, it will certainly be appreciated as I know a letter from you would stand me in good stead. I am in hopes that the family and yourself enjoyed a very nice Christmas and I hope that you enjoy a very happy New Year. Yo very sincerely, Evergreen Hotel, Geo. E. Roady Vancouver, Wash.
