November 23, 1940 Mire Don Ebling 303 Brush Creek Boulevard Kansas City, Vissouri Dear Don: I received your lovely letter and I assure you that I enjoyed reading every word of it. Ray stopped by and watched us practice lest Tuesday afternoon, I believe. I am sure that he will give a good account of himself. I think it would be a find thing to start you and Pay at forward, Mit at quarter=-back, and Kappelman and Dick Harp at guard. Thst would really make a tough outfit. Ray Noble is coming down to pley es is Bruce Voran. I am wondering if you could bring him down with you unless, of course, Mrse Noble is coming along; but then you may have ea date end it would work out just as welle But don't crowd up unduly. I throught you might want to call Ray at the Union Wire Rope Corporetion end all of you come down togethers It will certainly be fun to have the oldsters in action. Everybody accepted the invitation with the exception of Fred Pralle end he could not make it. I took your letter home to Mrse Allen to read, and we both voted you one very exceptional young men. I’ flatters me to have you sign your letter as you did. With 211 good wishes, I en, Sincerely your friend, Director of Physical Fduestion and Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach ; PCA: lg:min
