College of Liberal Arts.

Dear P. B.:

Mrs. Hulteen told me I had better never get
sick after my “pop off" regarding the physical condition
to insure against illness. You are dead rights I will
either die and pass out of the picture, or slip out of
town.

However, the last day of illness I have had was
when Prosty Cox took my team against the University of Okla-
homa here at Lewrence. That was when Milton was playing
his first year on the varsity. And the only other time that
I was 111 was when John Bunn took my team against Iowa State
for one night. Both cases were flu and the old ticker had
to be insured by a little rest. -

Maybe my cycle is coming up again. Will you
take my team? I am counting on you.

Cordially yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FOAAH Varsity Basketball Coach.
