Dear Bills

You would think that I did not ee good letter written
on 4 from the wy I have answered you, but the teak at the uate
is that I very much enjoyed your kind epistle, and I wish that I hed the
tine to wr write you a long letter today, but as is usual we are making ready
now to travel down to the University of Wichita and play one of those schools
that the boys do not get pepped up much — but one that is rather diffievlt
whi pe

We heve just finished our semester examinations and our first conference
game in the new semester is wich the University of Nebrasim, an altitudenous,
gengling and aggressive group of cornhuskerse. Their center is 6*8" and they —
have two burly guards, Fitz and Held, each 614"; the other two ure barely
6* tall so you can imagine our toiling bunch of underlings will have a whale
of a job trying to whiddle two big boys down to thoir sizes

_ Shenk you, Bill for the kind things you had to say in your letter
regarding our visit East. iI want you to Imow chat 211 of our boys, as well
as Mrs« Aiien and Eleanor, certainly enjoyed the stay et Swartimore, and
our visit with your lovely familye We were all in love with your lovely wife
and I want you to kmow that I thought Mree Stetson's mother was about the
sweetest nothereinelaw we had seens

_ We got a great wallop out of visiting with your family an
people ever come “fest we will be disappointed if you do not drop by
housshold at 801 Lovisiana Street and visit us»
