Dear Mr. Allens

I certainly enjoyed meeting you and seeing your boys
play Oklahoma last week and I greatly appreciate the
opportunity you gave me to be there. It certainly geve
me a big thrill when the flag was raised and made me
wonder if I would ever be out there with you and the
boys. Our seats were sure in a swell plece and I thank
you very much for then.

I hope that by the time you receive this letter you
have virtually clinched the Big Six race by defeating
Missouri to-night.

I am hoping to come down again before school is out -
possibly for the Relays.

Again thanking you, I am

Sincerely yours,
