_ December 24, 1940

We left Chicago en route to nn Arbor at 9330.
The trains up here don't wait for anyone, We rode until
, 3:00 without food, which 1s somewhat of a record, Then
we practiced in the huge dntrawerel rullding at Michigan
University, where seven basketball courts sit side by side.

First calamity o¢cured when Vance Hall was stricken
111 after turning his ankle in practice, Our roon at the
Michigan Union Building looked like the Beta dormitory
at home, Doe Allen wis reelining on Hogben's bed, but,
Bill thinking it was a team mate, ordered him off in rough
loneenee Bob Allen paid seventy-five cents for a haircut
and change of o41 unknowingly. Hogben's radio is still
a fluke, but is tuproving vepidly, KEnglesan’s hat still
looks fine. : 3

At night we stayed around the dorm, although some of
the boys went to a show, Lights were out at 9:50, and the
night passed peacefully for everyone except Johnson, who
played forty minutes of basketball aloud in bed,
