Dear Doc:

This letter is a couple of days late because I have
been out of town. Unfortunately, I was not in town on
the two weekends that Kansas played here but, believe
me, I certainly stayed close to the radio both times.

IT certainly feel that you and the team are to be con-
gratulated both for the fine showing you made in the
Big Six race and in the outcome of the tournament here.
There really is not a lot of difference between the
winner and the loser of the final game in any tourna-
ment in my way of thinking; the main thing is to be

one of the two teams playing in the finals.

You have a lot of thanks and honor coming to you from
K.U. and this vicinity for all you have done for basket-
ball in the past years and I think it is fine that you
were able to put your team in the final game. My room-
mate in the Harvard Graduate schooldays used to be from
Southern California and, of course, I had a lot of
pleasure sending him a collect wire the night after you
beat them.

I certainly hope things work out fine for you for the
next season and congratulations again to you and the
team. Best regards.

7 very truly,

Oe ae
