Dr, #, C. Allen,

University of Kansas,

Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr, Allen:.

I am very happy to have your fine letter, but I do
hold it against you because you were down here last month
with your ball club and escaped me entirely. In all seriousness,
I apologize for having missed youe It happens that I was
out of town one of the days and the papers revealed “= your
second game was called off an account of wet ground. It just
rains all the time in Oklahoma 4nd we have practically given
up any thought of ever playing outdoors.

1 am going to have lunch with Henry Ipa here in the
city tomorrow. You may be sure I will give you a full report
of the gleanings from our conversation, and you may bet that
he will be fully publicized if he ducks out of this series,
Ihe boys in Oklahoma think it has done as much, df not more,
for basketball than any one set of games,

I have a date to go to Lawrence with Bobby Lynn
and Boots Adams for the Commencement festivities. This projected
trip may conflict with the official opening of our new paper
house. We are in our new plant, but will not have the full
dress rehearsal until the first or second week in June. It is
quite a place and we are very proud of it and it should help
our business and efficiency considerably. Ido hope it is
possible for me to get to Yawrence as I have not been back for
Commencement since I left schoole

“PAPER IS OUR BUSINESS AND NOT A SIDE LINE”
