My dear Dr Allen 2 ;

think
Enclosed you will find the Partner article. i don' t/much of

it. In fact, I don't think anything of it.

 
  
 

In the first place, there should be the box score of least
the final game, and it might not be amiss to have the semi-finals.
However, the final game would be enough,

If this is such an important event, there should be more detailed
information. However, I doubt if it IS an important event. I
thought all I had to do was to look in the great New York Times
and get the details, but, believe it or not, there is not a word
in the Sunday Times. That's how much attention was paid to

the championships. Even Catholic prep school scores are listed,
put not the NCAA! ,

However, no kfdding, don't you think, considering the importance
of the event, there should be a better story?

Hinkle of Indianapolis wrote the Easterm event, and he is off on
some figures. I had to write to gim today.

Well, as an interhude,l hope you and Mrs Allen had a nice trip

to the Windy City? JI hope you did not fry on the streets. We have
had some very hot days recently, but my son says it does not
compare with Louisville. The Ohio bottoms certainly can get
steamed up. | !

About Harold Keith. I was sorry after I mailed the letter that

thing. Of course weishall send him a proof. We always to to
most contributors. It is so easy to make an error. I had one
chap today who sent in a belated foot ball story, which I had
written mydelf when I did not hear from him. I had a play that

Was at variance with his account, and thought I may have made a

  
  
   

istake, but according to the newspaper account of a local
i i was right. It is so easy to slip. |
It is an awful job trying to pick up the odcs and ends. I had to
get after the YMCA for holding back matter. One picture of a com-
mittee member is missing, and there are all sorts of niggles. I
spent all day yesterday--Sunday--arranging the copy of a portion
of the book, and it is slow work. Too much careless ness in
thie world. .- es . Sa oa
