Kansas City: Secretary 114 East 69th St., Kansas City, Mo. 64113

On Friday, January 6, Coach Blackman arrived in Kansas City and addressed a gala dinner given by the Kansas City Dartmouth Club. It was an outstanding turn-out, equaled only by President Dickey's dinner in the past, and it brought forth members who are not regular attenders.

Coach Blackman had met earlier with some of the applicants and prospective applicants for Dartmouth. So engaging was he and so magnetic, that the applicants had to be beaten off with a hockey stick to permit him to be driven to the dinner on time.

A Cocktail Hour preceded the dinner but impressed with the warnings of the Dartmouth Alumni Association, the Cocktail Hour was brought to a close while everyone was still standing.

A steak dinner was provided by the Carriage Club, at the end of which Coach Blackman addressed the assembled Dartmouth men and their wives. Interspersed with his comments on the football season in general and of Dartmouth in particular, were several anecdotes about football heroes and a pat on the back for Kansas City for fielding such a fine professional football team. Coach Blackman then went on to describe some of the changes at Dartmouth. Nostalgia was interspersed with snow scenes and Baker Library; reminiscences of Dartmouth Row and the vividness of the campus description brought a little bit of Hanover to the Heart of America.

A rousing cheer and applause was, we all hope, an invitation to Coach Blackman to return to Kansas City.

Officers of the Kansas City, or "Heart of America" Dartmouth Alumni Association, are Paul Uhlmann Jr. '42, president; Creighton Hart Jr. '56, vice president; Willard Small '54, secretary, and Pete Barnes '57, treasurer.
