Dear Parkes

Thank you so much for your nice letter
regarding my book, "Better Basketball". It is nice
of you to say the things that you dos

, However, when you mention the team as
another wimner, I am very pessimistic. We will beat
the smaller colleges and a few of the Big Six, but
Webraska bas a field house full of seniors and they
are all good. They were good enough to split with
us last year, and they have four of their five back,
and we have one of our five. And the incomparable
Parsons is equal to our matchless Pralle. There is
still a premium on experience and championship
participation.

: Nebraska and Missouri look like the boys <-
thet will cause lots of trouble with Iow State,
Oklehoma, Kansas State and Kensas scrambling for
what is left.

Very cordially yours,

: Varsity Basketball Coach,
