Mr. Harry D. Wilson, Director,
College All-Star Basketball Game,
Room 510,

526 W. Madison St.,

Chicago, Illinois.

Dear Harry:

Thank you for your invitation regarding the
December Srd game. I find myself so tied up with our.
physical conditioning course here with the V-12, A-12
and Navy fliers that I doubt if I can arrange to get away
on the 3rd. And too, of course I will have basketball
since all the freshmen have flow as well as the varsity
men. Jt will be necessary for me to teke an entirely new
tunoh.

I have a lot of fundamentals that I think I have
to teach them, and for the now men it is a pretty tough
assignment for them to absorb those fundamentals in such a
short while. as long as we had freshmen coming in we could
teach them most of the fundamentals in their freshman year,
and then it was easier to handle them as varsity players.

Bartlesville is quite some distance from here.
The Phillips boys will doubtless cut across country and
not come through Lawrence. At any rate, I thank you for
the invitation and hope some time to see the boys in action.

Very sincerely yours,

Direstor of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
