Sir; I take pleasure in enclosing herewith tear sheets con-
cainiee scueean sketchy accounts of your trip here. Imasmuch as I
could hot be there, I did the best I could. Yerhaps you are keeping
& scrap book which probably enna into volumes.

Small cance for you to place me as I was in ddieis -eecere
the last war--quitting in my Senior year for enlistment, in fact. I
did find time as an employed student on The University Daily Kansan
to report at the begitning of the seasons both in basketball and
football, same luck in baseball. But my quality was so inferior l
hardly rated a second glance from you. However: I do remember you
were kind to me, or you wouldn't be getting this epistle now. Merle
Thorpe was Dean of Journalism then, with L. N. Flint assistant. Dre
Naismith was chaplain of our national guard regiment at one time.

Thanking you for your attention, I an,

“raternally,
