Mr. W. R. Lord,

Basketball Yearbook Editor,
Converse Rubber Company,
Malden 48, Mass.

Dear if. Lord:

I have been so busy with war work that I have seen so few
teams in action that frankly I think I am no judge of basketball
talent this year.

I am at present serving as secretary of our county Select-
ive Service Board, and have just finished our county Red Cross
War Pund drive, together with serving the University as chairman
of the Third and Fourth War Loan, and Infantile Paralysis drives.
This, together with my work as chairman of the Department of .
Physical Education where we are conditioning V-5, V-12 and ASTP
units, added to my basketball coaching this past winter, have

kept me busy.

Very sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Blucation,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
