Dear Eddie:

We were pleased to get your letter and to know thet |
you find your new work very interesting.

Things are going along nicely here. It does seem
kind of strenuous, though, to have three classes from
_ 9:80 to 12:50 a couple of days a week. With administra-
‘tive interferences, long distance telephone calls, and
so forth, that ere bound to come, I have a hard time
either to put off the phone calls or to meet my classes.

We are renting 10 or 12 acres from Dr. Spencer for
the softhell fields, and Mr. Bayles is now grading the
intrammal field. He is cutting a big diteh through the
center to provide better drainage, then we are going to
seed it and by next fall or next spring we should have a
pretty good field. You may not like to hear this, but we
are putting in the skating rink the way it was planned.
We hope it will not be too bad, but will give some good
winter skating for those who enjoy the sport under the
lights at night. There will be a six inch wall all around
it, so there won't be danger of losing the water through
& break in the dem. Water will be drained in from the
pool and the reservoir, so it should not cost us
for thet.

We are having varsity baskball practice every after~
noon, and have a couple of games scheduled with Kansas

Remember me kindly to Mr. Miller. With best wishes
for your success and happiness, I an

Sincerely yours,

: Director of Physical Education and Recreation
PCA:AH Varsity and Baseball Coach.
