Mrs. Glenn W. Coleman,

Kansas City 1, Mo.

Dear Mrs. Coleman:

I am very happy to tell you that in 1942 Kansas was ever~
victorious in the Big Six Conference. I would be afraid to say that
‘we were national champions many times because every section always
has a national championship team. Nine of our thirteen boys were
inducted into the service on March 6th before the national shampion-
ship was played. ‘here were many Kansas friends who felt that Kansas
could have gone through that year.

Kansas has had three ever-viotorious seasons -- 1923, 1936 and |

1942. Ralph Miller played in 1940, and ens ‘that time, and the teams
were good.

But this United States is a big place, and I would be napeY if
someone would say we were the best in our section.

I write a letter to the boys in the service, called the Jayhawk
Rebounds, =< some fifteen or sixteen pages, and if Billy would like to
be put on the mailing list I would be glad for you to give me his
address. I will be happy to send them to hin.

With every good wish, I an

- Sineerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCAsAH Varsity Basketball Coach.
