Dear Phog:

I have not seen you since last May so thought
of writing to you to relate my present work.

After getting the final degree in June, I was
unable to secure a senior college or university posi-
tion in this state or Kansas so accepted a place here.
in the Junior College. I might have gone to Maryland
University or Washington State but amytrying to get a
book published this fall so needed to be near Norman.
Perhaps next year, I can find a satisfacbory position
in some university. ©

We noticed where the football team treated
Washburn in a convincing manner and I hope that Ad can
have a winner this year. I saw 0.U. play Tulsa and de-
cided that the best team won but 0.U. will get better
with experience than they were that day.

By the way, Phog, we have a star Mexican player
here who suffered a bad injury two weeks ago and is not
doing well. While blocking, his leg was hurt when the
opponent used his knees on his leg; a broken brace in
his pad aggravated the trouble so the doctor said that
a blood clot formed in the leg above the knee, What is
the best way to treat it? The coach does not know and I
learned to turn such things over to a good doctor, I told
the boy about you and that you would know and would be
glad to pass the knowledge on to me. I was a little afraid
to use hot and cold packs in this case. We will appreciate
your advice very much.

How does your basket ball material look now? You
did a great job last year even to land second with that
material which you had. As you knaw, I am pulling as usual
for you and hope that the material is better this year. I
shall plan to see one game some way next season.

Schmidt and Custer at Bartlesville were over to
a recent game and I had a good talk with them.

Best regards,
