Dear Doc?

I meant to acknowledge your clipping on the uniforms sev-
everal days ago but the Christmas rush of business is getting
head over heels. Ii did appreciate the kind words about the
uniforms and I have heard from other sources as well that the
boys look mighty nice. from the box scores it looks as though
they are looking nice in action as well as uniforms and I know
that you are going to be right in the thick of it again this year.

Just to pass on a word that I just heard. George Ramsey,
the Coach at Clinton High School, was in a few days ago and
happened to mention a boy named Hamlin of Windsor High School,
Windsor, Missouri. He said he is the best boy he has seen in
years. He is big and from all reports does a lot of scoring.
I just mention this because I imagine you like to hear about
promising boys. Incidentally, he's a senior. I haven't seen
him personally.

I have an idea for you for a between halves performance
that I feel would be of great interest. It would be a table
tennis exhibition between two top flite players. Most. people
do not realize how scientific the game has become and how in-
teresting it can be for the spectators. I am sure I could do
all the arranging. if you are interested.

All the luck in the world to you and the boys and I hope
the suits prove good luck charms. I know you don't have any
stronger supporter than I. §

tho %. Yours very truly,
