Uncle Sam is taking all the extra pullmans for troup movement. The Bsquire just came to my desk this morning with an ‘article that I have written on "Rotate the Center Jump", on page 56. There might be something in it that would interest you be- cause I have suggested that we rotate the jumping as you rotate the baseball player in batting order. I think it is much more sensible than giving the ball to the opponents out of bounds every time someone scores. Then the fellow out of bounds fires it in and the shovel. game is on. Anyhow, you can’t blame me for trying to present something that will reduce this harum-scarum, shap~happy game we have at present. Confidentially, we are going to play the Great Lakes Navel Station team in Kansas City on February Sth, but the Great Lakes authorities will break the story from that ond.

But Lee said that you did not get his letter. IT had intended to write you, also, but in the rush of things this was not done. I just went to thank you for your offer to help Milton. I believe that he has the qualifications and will be called soon. At least I hope so. He is so en thusiastic about the work and I believe he will meke a valuable man in this work. He is president of his senior lew class, is freshman basketball coach, and is helping me with the varsity. He has an unusual insight into the strength and wealmess of the opponents, and he does not hesitate te tell me. Ve do not always agree on this, but that is the thing I court. I do not want too many "yes" men around me. I would rather have fellows that challenge my judgment occasionally. But he is thor~ oughly cooperative and his heart and soul is in the He has been to the FBI office twice in Kansas City and has taken his examination, and we hope he will get his call.
