This year we have none of my former players in the University
working on advanced degrees with the exception of my son,
Milton Allen, who is a senior in the School of Law. Therefore,
I shall turn to hin to assist me with the freshmen.

- Sinee there is a state law which prohibits all the heads of
departments from paying any relative out of the state fund, I
