Dear Mr. Walker,

I em enclosing a mimeographed copy of our basketball schedule for
the year 1941-42. Our printed schedules are not as yet ready. —

Our team this year is larger than last year’s teem, but the boys ©
are youngers We lost our Three Musketeers, Bob Allen, Howard
Engleman, and John Eline. All three greduated in dime. Bob Allen
is now studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Howard -
Engleman is with the Phillips Petroleum Co. in Bartlesville, Okla.,
end John Kline is in the services .

Yone of our boys graduate at mid-year. Of cours: some of them may
be called to the army at any time, but it is our policy to play
ball with Uncle Sen and pay as little attention to this as possible.
We feel that these boys will be much better off if they go ahesd and
prepare for the season whether or not they may have to leave before

Ralph and Dick Miller, Ray Bvans, end Don Ettinger are out’ for
football, as are a few of the other boys on the squad. Ralph Was

out last year with e bad knee, but is back this year as a senior

in better condition then he has been for some tine. The first year
that he attended the University his knee wes injured and last year

he was operated upon and had the cartilege removed. I believe that.
the knee tas heeled and thet his condition now is highly satisfactory.

For the first time in several years we have amumber of big boys.
Our teems of late yoars have been small. However, so many of the
team members are sophomores we find that we lack the experience
which proves so valuable. |

Kansas, however, is ready to put up a battle this year, and we are
looking forward to a fairly good season.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
