I am not certain that I will get to Stillwater but I have the promise from Iba that 1' can sit behind the Kansas bench if I get there. I guess you have heard about the rubber shortage and the war. This in part will account for the reason that you have not heard from me, but who doesn't have problems these days and why should I worry you about mine. I have already made arrangements for the use of the Central Gym for you. I will be happy to extend any service or facilities I can to make your stay here as pleasant as possible. Would you want to practice as soon as you arrive or later in the evening? It will be necessary to have a custodian there to turn on the lights for you. I don't know what the traffic situation will be but I will have a Highway Patrolman escort you to Norman. if everybody Bate to this game that says they are going at four o'clock, you won't even be able to get your team through the door. Frankly, you are going to have a rough evening from the standpoint of the crowd as well as from an inspired basketball team. I think they will have to lock the doors at about 4m with about 7,500 inside and about 2,000 people outside, a situation to the one when Henry iba was there. . could help you dismiss the thought from your boys' minds oing to have a picnic down here.

He certainly is elusive and Nebraska used two men on him. the minute he got his hands on the ball, one behind and one clutching in the front. This is the only effective defense I have seen used against him. He always pivots to the right and shoots with his left hand, then when he pivots to the left it is a push shot. I think I had better arrange for a bus,for your trip to Norman. I think your kids would be in a better mental state if they went down together and 1 don't know whether anybody will volunteer their cars or not. We will get into this after you arrive here though. I do hope you can isolate your a thovgn and have them ready for the game. I will be most happy to see you and 1 want you to extend my own personal regards to your family. trey yours, | C0 side COB: ET ON February 21, 1942. tr.

From them we have learned to play 2a prand of ball that shows more knowledge of tactics and proves more interesting to us. Along with these thanks I would like to enlist your aid in solving one of my problens. Last-+year Iwas able to practice with the team at school and, except for two weeks or so at the beginning of the season, my feet did not bother me in the least. This year I have not the time to practice with the school team. Instead my playing is done in intramural end independent leagues. These games are rather infrequent and I find that because of this when i play hard, my feet invariably blister. In your works you have mentioned the Use OF Bills em Dat o acid to toughen the feet. -_ My attempts with it have borne Sx \ no fruit. If possible I would like to Learn ay it should per be made, used, and whether it may be used over several times. Any infomation will be deeply appreciated.

The) margin was 13 to 4 at the end of the | first quarter, but the Indians began to move in the second chapter and by half-time their deficit had been reduced to 19-13. Admitting he was “thoroughly dis- gusted” with the performance of his team, Coach Mel Bishop of South- west refused to join in the huddle during the intermission, walking away after he had barked: “When you fellows want to. start playing basketball, let me know.” The Indians started playing bas- ketball-right away. ‘They cut loose with such ferocity that nineteen points dropped through the hoop in the 8-minute third quarter. Central, ahead early in the third quarter, 20-13, was behind, 20 to 32, when the final period got under way. Andres, showing a real scoring punch for the first time this season, featured the offensive along with Saizow. Bill Huggins also played an important role, until he was forced to the sidelines with a knee injury two minutes before the third period ended. Bill’s left knee popped out of position and it pained him so se- verely he had to be carried off the court.

But they would have scored even more, with fair success at the free throw line. French missed six of eight tosses; Cramer converted only six of twelve.

Jim- my Nelson and John Buell went scoreless and Herbie Ramsey’s 2-pointer fifteen seconds after the start was his only contribution from the field. Bounds made only one field goal but his domination of the rebounds was the deciding difference in the game, John Taibi, the league’s lead- ing scorer, hit two fielders and 4 charity shot for five points to tie with Soper. Bill Whaley, East guard, took scoring honors, with ten points. East Loses Early Lead. East got off to a 5-6 lead, but early in the second quarter the Vikings moved out in front to stay. Taibi’s goal resulting from a fast break with Charles Shields, put Northeast ahead, 7-6. East went scoreless in the second period and trailed, 6-9, at the intermission.*»The ball con- tinued to avoid the Viking basket in the third canto and Northeast sent. Taibi and Soper in for field goals after Soper had cashed his shot resulting from the technical foul. Ramsey’s free throw on a foul by Bounds was the only point for East in the third and Northeast moved into the final quarter lead- ing, 14-7, Then came the dramatic finish. Field goals by Whaley and Hart came quickly and Ken Bass found the range for the Vikings before Whaley banged in another 2-pointer and converted two free throws on two fouls by Soper. That made it 16-15 only until Whaley committed his fourth foul and Soper added a point to the Viking total. O'Neil fouled Soper immediately and the little for- ward ran the total to 18 with what proved to be the winning toss. NORTHEAST_—18. BAST—1 Taibi, Sere: Sr Biielas, te Fas Soper, -f...+ Bounds, c..

The Bucs kept the pace to hold an 19-8 advantage at the half and 26-17 at the end of the third. Westport, the defending champion, made a bid late in the final period, scoring six points to narrow the gap to 23-28 but Darrell Havener connected with two free throws to aid the Paseo cause and Donahue’s fielder in the last minute closed the Tiger scoring five points short. Clint Webber, Tiger forward, led the scorers with ten points, two more than Paseo’s leader, Jimmy Gregath, tallied.
