Dear Phogs

I have your letter of February 24, regarding the securing
of a band for the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament on March 22
and Mareh 26. I have no special ideas regarding this matter
but will talk to Maurice and see if we cannot follow your
suggestion and try and arrange to have the Wyandotte High
School band for either the 22nd or 2érd.

I also read with interest the copy of the letter which
you wrote to Mr. Schlagle regarding Ray Evans. I notice
that this boy again received an injury to his foot. The
same thing happened to him last fall. I am wondering what
the trouble is.

Are you at all interested in Bill Brill? I think he
would like to go to K.U. but will need help. While he played
end on the football team, I understand he does not like
football but he does like to play basketball. I wnderstand
he is especially good on defense.

I must admit your basketball team has surprised me.
When I saw what sort of a schedule you had I didn't think
you had a chance, but your team has certainly come throughiin
great style. Evidently they have what it takes. While the
next two games are tough ones, I can see no reason why they
can't win those too and I will be pulling hard for them to
do sO.

Sincerely, ,.

obtaining the Wyandotte High School band for the 22nd or 2érd.
Maurice asked me if I would talk to Mr. Schlagle, superintendent
of schools, about it. I told him I would, and I just called
