My dear Dr Allen

Thank you for your letter,and° its encomiums, Sorry,
but it is too late now for any actions. I thought, if
there were any, that it might brighten the article
aside from the groups.

Dan Partner sent the matter, as I wrote previously, so

I went ahead with the close of the whole thing.

It seems to me that several portions of the book

might be improved if people in various sections--those

in charge--would attend to it, but as we do not collect
the data, that being a function of the committee, there
is a hiatus of history of the game in several sections.
As an instance, we had nothing from the. Southern
Conference, which embraces Duke, North Carolina, and. ae
other teams of that section, so, sooner than have them
left out, I wrote the story myself from data that had
been sent in to us on our own blanks. Not being familiar
with the teams, it resolves itself into drudgery in

such cases.

I trust you will have a nice time in Louisville. My son
expected to be there over the Labor Day weekend but at the
last minute the people with whom he was going from here
were unable to go, so the party was called off. Otherwise
he might have had the pleasure of meeting you.

Thank you again, Pr Allen, and with good wishes for
a pleasant trip repeated for you both--

  
 

Faithfully yours
