| boys spoke to hin later telling him some of
‘the things that had caused the difficulties. Thic wes all ‘
done in serious earnestness. .

After I made the plea for the boys to be his
friends they passed the following motions

"%> return to squad on the condition that he appear and
preotice diligently but that he not be able to play in
games until such time thet the squad thinks he has shown
his sincerity in working for the best interests of the
Kansas Basketball Squade*

. Don is practicing regularly and is getting along

fine. I just wanted to make this progress report to you as I

know you are anxious about him. He seems to be happy in the

way the situation has shaped up. We trust it won't be long

until the boys give him the green light to play. }

With all good wishes, I an —

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
