September 27, 1944.

Mr. George Edwards, Baskethall Coach,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Missouri.

Dear George:

Once I heard of a Dutchman. He was not named
Hoff, but his name was Kloppf. Ue was to serve on the jury.
He got so so excited and mixed up, and he said, "Goodeby,
wifey, goodeby. I got to leave my home in the country and —
go to Kansas City and serve on the jury. I know I am going
to run over the oar and kill somebody.”

. It is queer, when these Dutch have things explained
to them sometimes fairly clearly that they oannot get it. I
went in to talk to Ralph Baker, and Hoff dropped in. I was
going down to see Mr. Hoff later and explain to hin, but I
wanted the dates held.

Sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
