STANFORD UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF THE DEAN-OF MEN STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA Sept. 13, 1938 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Allen: This will acknowledge your letter of Septem- ber 9. Evidently our paths just failed to cross. I tried to get in touch with you on Sunday when I arrived in Topeka, then again on Thursday after I had completed the coaching school. These were my two opportunities to play golf. I learned that you were in town on Thurs- day, but for some reason or other I could not reach you by telephone. I had a good visit with George and rather short chats with a number of people on the campus. I am sorry though that I missed you. Now with respect to Rose Bowl tickets, there are two sources to which you might apply. The one avail- able now is the Oe we ot Roses Committee in Pasadena; the other is the Conference representative. This latter of course has not yet been determined. If you desire, it will be possible for me to secure tickets for you through our office here. The probabilities are that I shall attend the game this year. It will be my first opportunity since I have been on the Coast. Basketball has always held my attention before. Please let me know with regard to the tickets and I will make the proper arrangements. With best wishes to you, I am Very cordially yours,
