Dear Phog::
This letter will be full of questions. I have a chance of getting out’ of
the army the latter part of Dec. or the first part of January, and I was wondering

if I returned to school the first part of January how many semesters of
eligibility I would loose. If I would just loose the one that I should loose or
if I would loose two? . :

If I remember bight the ##4#8#¢# second semester starts some time in Feb. and
if I returned the first part of Jan. would I loose two semesters? I am just guessing
about when the second semester starts, I hope it starts some time in the first #
part of January. What I want to do is teturn to school the first part of Jan.
and still have two seasons fo r football as well as two seasons for basketball,
Also how many games of basketball will be played by the ¥% of Jan.

It is not definite that I will get a discharge but I have an exce’lant
chance in Dec. for this field is closing up and I am having my name put on the
surplus list. So am hoping that I can set out if I can return to school in time
to play.ball and not loose two, semesters of playing elisibility.

I hear the housing conditions around Lawrence are touch, that there isn't any
houses or small apartments to be had. Is that so? Suppose the wife and ~ can
find something. That is about all the questions. I just hope I won't miss to
ma ny games by Jan. @ for I hope to be thewe by then as# a civilian,

I would apvreciate and immediate answer for the sooner I know these things
the sooner I can start putting pressure on my discharge. I will try to bring
this Sobczak, with me, ;

Hoping e¥ery thing is find with you and that you have the making of a great
ball club. See you: in Jan I hove. I remain

Sincergly yours
