Dear Dr. Alien:

The pressing football season has made it difficult
for me to keep up with me correspondence. I assure you
there has been no intent in overlooking your kind letter of
October 14th.

It certainly was nice of yourto write us the way
you did regarding the injury to one of our men in the Minne-

rapid progress and will soon be out of the hospital and back
in school. It was necessary to operate to remove a blood
elot and as soon as this operation was performed he started
to improve very rapidly. His parents have certainly been
good sports and good soldiers all the way through this
ordeal and have been in a most cooperative frame of mind.

The arrangements for the basketball coaches meet-

I just hope that we will be able to meet at the hour set and
not have so much delay in getting under way as has been in
evidence in the past.

In regard to the Bask-O-Lite goals, I would like
to reserve my opinion on these until our meeting in December.
If the other coaches in the conference are in accordance
about these goals, I assure you I would not have any objection
to the goal. At the present writing I have not had any time
to give to basketball and would be guided by what the other
men decided to do. »

power of light necessary for this purpose. Our lighting
