Dear Carl:

IT had heard the tough news that you could nob sss
return on account of finances, I perfectly understand ee 4
such @ situation, having been in much the same predica« A
ment when I was in school as you find yourself in at

present. . | _ , 5 i

But what I like about the situation ia that
you are up and coming and 1t will not be many years until —

you have that coveted degree that you are strenuously
working for. Fred Pralle teld me that you would net be —

able to return this fall, but he did not tell me that

ety would perhaps be able to come the second semesters © =
it certainly will be a pleasure to have you back, as I) ee ad
have always enjoyed your association on the basketbali as
and baseball equad. —s—j 3 ‘ | =

Answering your question eoncerning eligibility,
it will be perfectiy all right for you to play independ«
ent ball while you are out of school. You may not |
participate on an outside team while you are in college |
or in vacation, but you do have pérmission to play on. :
any independent tean prey ot hee are out of college bee ~~.

cause the school has no jurisdiction over you when yat

_  ¥ou will be eligible fer the second sem aed in
basketball and baseball, I think this is a good idea
for you to B gs into competition es it will keep up your
interest and keep you in good physical condition. — :

- _ The school year is opening up with e bang, and
- we look for a splendid enrelinent. we on a
| I trust that you are well and have been well
Guring vacation, = oh ——
‘With every good wish, I am
3 Sinserely yours,
