[ca fall 1939-40] Mr. Nile Clark Kinnick S.U.I. Foot Ball Team Iowa City Ia - I want to congratulate Coach Anderson & the entire S.U.I. team for pulling my dear old home town Ia City up to the top in foot ball history. You have many many friends in Chicago & we are all very proud of every one of you. I have always been loyal to the S U I teams, whether they win or lost, since "way back when" our good Judge Mike McKieeley was on the team & many others, friends of mine, one in paticular who played the same position you now play - We regret this is your last year to play, but know we are going to have a good team next year. Can't miss it with Coach Anderson to lead them. I am sending articles from different Chicago papers
