Dear "Phog":

For some time I have been wanting to write.
First I want to thank you for the sacro-iliac ad-
justment last fall at the coaching school. I have
had no trouble since and am very happy about it all.

I was not in town to see the basket ball game
Feb. 16. However, I am very sorry you encountered
such an occasion following the game. As an alumni
of K. S., citizen of Manhattan, and one interested
in the fine athletic programs we are characterized
by in America today I am very much disturbed by such
action of people, and I know from talking to many of
our fine business men they all feel the same way.

Congratulations again on another fine team!
Sorry that our basket ball banquet conflicts with
N. C. A. A. as we would like to have you with us.

Sincerely yours,

Lud Fiser
