Dear Gordon: |

ee oe on
recent date, and to lmow that you are enjoying life in the
Navy « ee ee ee ee See ee
besketball season.

We were champions of the Fifth District N.C.AsA.
play-off, by defeating the Oklehoma Aggies in. Kansas City
on March 17th, and in the Western ¥.C.AA. play-off on
Mareh 20 and 21 we won third place. Ralph Miller got sick
after the Oklehoma Ageie game. He is still i11 and looks
terribly bad. Ne was in bed @wo days. It is either a slight
stricture of the esophagus due to overstrain in that Oklahom
Aggie game, or a catarrheal condition of the gall duct or an
irritation to the pyloric end of the stomach. Pain radiates
in his right side. a
Colorado and against Rice.

anxious and missed a couple of shots under the basket. But
it's the same old story - if you can't afford to lose, don't
pley. We aren't crying about it at all.

Glad you have had some chance to play basketball.

With best wishes for your happiness and success, I

Sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
