Dear Snelly:

I was might} happy to have your letter of the sixteenth
jhstance. I watched with great interest your game against
the Oklahoma Sooners and I know what responses were back in
your eranium when you battled those boys down there. t

It is splendid of you fellow to write regarding Pvt.

Edward Sobezak. I am writing him today and seiiding you a
carbon copy for your approval. Nothing would please me more Bee
than to see you back at K. U. along with Pvt. Sobezak. When
do you think you will get out, Snelly? They are qe ning
a new temm on November 1 but I imagine they would not let you
out that soon on account of fottball at Iiondo. However, if
they let you out immediately after football season mabe gou
gould enter a month later and get eight iouss credit for the

eight woeks remaining of the twelve, Then you could enter, of
course, the regular term. me 3

It is reported that Charlie Black is ready for dis-
charge and may perhaps enter school sometime around Novenber 1.’
However, the grapevine is working in thatt direction. It wuld
be great to have some of you boys back. Our prospects are fairly
good but the boys are young. A little aging would be beneficial.

When do you expest to ‘drop by and see us. You are
always welcome. My kindest regatds to lirs. Schnellbacher.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physieal Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach
