Dear Phog:

See you are knocking on the door again-guess it would be
better to say that you are inside and the rest are knocking
at the door. Yanted to get up to Ames and see your “owa
“tate gane but I inherited this basketball team two weeks
ago, and you know the headaches. The path may be a little
easier this semster, have a few new boys to use starting
Sat night. |

Got home from Peleliu about the Middle of November, guess
the landerabs and roosters have taken over by now, and
suits me fine.

Want to wish you luck on out from here. ~on't imagine
you are happy about losing this hi-scoring freshman but

I guess a fellow:lets himself in for a lot of headaches

as soon as he walks out on that floore Hope we can get to-
gether for a golf game one day, I have not played in two
years-almost killed me. Best regards
