Dear Doc;

a Due to the fact that I have scarcely
been able~to call my’time my own during the past several
weeks, my correspondence has beenssadly neglected and it is
with regret that I have not answered your very welcome letter
much sooner.

There is very little that I can
mention: about our past season here in football, excppt that —
it has been plenty tough on me. You know that a losing football
team always results in a great number of inguries. Sometimes
it kept me going nearly day and night t6 have the boys ready
for the next game, but 1 believe: that my work so far has proved
very satisfactory. Here is hoping that we have a | better seasnan
in basket ball and not so many injuries.

You have probably read in the papers
that Ted Cox, head football caach here, has resigned. Coach
Cox is a very fine man to work with and for that resson it is
with regret that I see him leave. I only hope that the succeeed-
ing coach is as fine to work with as Mr. Cox.

Upon further inquiry as to the hotel
facilities here, I find that the Going Hotel would not make
me any prices and would not promise to make reservations ahead
of time. I am sure that thevohly hotel you would care to use
for your players is the Grand Hotel. The other one, Stillwater
Hotel, is not even a second rate hotel and the facilites are
terrible. As I said before, the Grand Hotel will accomodate
théipiayerscfor a dollare a head. While ig is not the best in
the world, it gets most of the tmurist trade and I am sure is
the only one you would care to use,

I have tried to follow the Kansas
Football team as closely as possible this year, and it is
quite clear in my mind that they could also use a new varsity
football coach. It seems to me that they should have won more
