Mr. Oscar D. Wolf,
$290 Sixth Avenue,
San Diego 3, California.

Bear Oscar:

I was pleased to have your letter and to know that you and :
the Mrs. are anxious to ses home folks after your stay of three years
on the coast. It has always been my conviction that Kansas is still
the best spot in the world after you have lived here a while. We
would be mighty happy to see you good people when you come our way.

It was nice of you to say the things you did regarding our
basketball team. This being war year I have never taken it as a
compliment to have an outstanding team during the war. ‘There are
too many important things in the war effort to-be bothered too much
nk we athletics. Host of our best boys are in the service, and only
the 4F'ers and the youngsters are carrying on. And of course the
4P boys are the determining factor in most of these so-called big
time teams unless the Wavy plays a part. And it is an unusual team
that can have the Navy during all of its season.

So, while we should carry on to the best of our ability, I
think any energy that we have should be devoted toward the big thing
at hand, and that of course is winning the war at the earliest poss-
ible moment so that all of our boys in the various fronts can be
back home wiSh US.

It was good to hear from you and it will be still better to
se@ yOu.

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Direetor of hysical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
