Dear Bruce:

Congratulations on your wonderful vietory over the
Tigers last nights :

I thought you did especially well at Lincoln to take
care of those giant Iluskers, but when you mowed them dom a la
Charlie MoeCarthy at Columbia, I say the laurels belong to the
kid coach who coaches the Boy Scatters - those little fellows,
you knots

Well, it looks like you and Me Henry Iba are going
to battle it out for the right to represent the Fifth District
in the .CAeAs championship go, and if you two do win your
respective chenpionship flights, then the game at Oldahoma City
should really take on a battle of some significances

This letter is just merely to congratulate you on
doing a splendid jobe Of course, we are going to give you 4
fight, but I am afraid before March Sth the chanpionship will
have been settled.
With all good wishes, I an

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
