Dear Ray:

: Yes, I remember Bill Martin of Oklahoma. He was a
stellar guard. ie played at the time Ray Boling, Pralle, Mit
Allen and that outfit were on the ever~victorious 1936 team for
Kansas. iie was one of the best guards that has played for ékle-
home, but he was very little over six feet tall.

_ Then he played on Phillips 66 and made a fine record.
2 Wilke thi Ot serine one of the high schocls in Oklahoma City —
now, either Capitol Hill or one of the schools. He was a pre-medic,
I believe, a fine student and a fine athlete. I ean get.more defin-
ite data for you if you wish it.

T am mighty happy to know that you are are doing you# bit
in a big way. Confidentially, I have been asked to make a trip
overseas with the Army athletic set-up, and it is still confidential
and tentative. >

oo Tam glad to iow about your sister, Blisabeth. That
item had slipped my mind as I heave not seen your Dad or any of the
femily for quite some time. |

oe ee eee eee the making and our
prospects are not at all good. We do not « con te draw the Bavy boys
with athletic ability, and our civilian population is thin indeed.
I am sending you a Jayhawk Rebounds which I I wrote recently. We will
eS Pe Pere welling Lint for the others. We hope that
re oe eee

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,
