‘Dear Yack:

I am appreciative of your interest in writing me
regarding our policy concerning the Navy V-12 university
boys: for basketball. Yes, Jack, we are definitely —
planning on using the V-12 boys in our basketball.

They have always been some of our finest athletics and
students and I would not think of leaving them out,

‘Will you please tell Stramel, Van Gundy, and Ul#éeh
that they are welcome to our campus and to our team.
We are practicing now and will continue until the first
of November but this will not mitigate any of you boys
coming out for the tean. :

The football team hore at Kansas is a dandy but we
feel that you boys were outweighed and outematched,
so it is not a detriment that you lost to a fine team.

When you boys come to the campus be sure and drop in
at my office and say he@lo as I assure you you will be
welcone. With all good wishes, I an,

Yours very sincerely,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach
