Dear Phog$

'

Thank you for the prompt reply and letter to Ed. Sobczak. I dont knnw
what he is @ g oing to do about going to K.U. but think we have a very good
chance of his attending Oread Hill. I haven't been trying to se#l him on
going to school at K.U. to a large degree but have let him know that we would
like having him in our institution. He is a good lad. The day he gets his
Gischarge I w ill let you know and make sure he stops and has a talk with you.
I doubt if I will get to come and show him the campus, for at the present moment
I am playing football and trying to start a basketball team, I believe he can
now get out when he wants to; But he seems to want to wait till football season
is over, so it will be a few weeks before he gets out of the army.

I wan't be getting out until sometime aroundthe last of May ob the first
part of June. At bhistime we don't have a basketba 11 coach and it looks like
I will have to play and coach at the same time. Gorden Gray is going to ceach
at the field near here, we tried to get him but they beat us to him so I seem
to be stuck with the job. Wish is were possible for me to be able to play this
year under you but I won't be able to make it.

With Charlie lack and Ballard back it will sure help things alot. Guess
Ray Evans will be in the army a& long as I will,forI see where thete football
schelude runs up till some time in the middle of December, and knowing the army
they will probably be playing up till New years.

I will be by the first chance I get,but don't know when that w ill be.
Better stop for my typing isn't improving any and the longer I type the worse
I get. My kindest regards.

Sincerly yours,
