Dear Phogs

Your delightful letter of January 24
was received along with the book of yours on
Better Basketball. fFven though I am supposed
to be planning lectures for next semester I
have been reading about basketball.

As you mentioned I did enjoy the
article about the Nebraska game in 1920, but you
left out one important part of it at least to
me, and that was during the half for lack of
excitement or whatever reason they gave at
that time, I was the victim of the blanket
tossing for the day.

I finished my work at Washington -—
University in St. Louis in 1926. After spending
two years in surgical preparation I have been
connected with the University of Missouri since
that time. 2

I feel very honored to be called to
give you any assistance possible when you bring
your teams here to Missouri, and I always look
forward to seeing you and all the men connected
with the University of Kansas. I had a nice
visit with Joh Wulf when he refereed the game
with Missouri and Colorado.

Again let me thank you for the
delightful gift. Looking forward to seeing you
on later visits either here or at Lawrence, I am
