Dear Johns

Your telegram, which was greatly appreciated,
wns: Bille er squad before the game. Each of the boys
appreciated your wire immensely, as I did, but a seven-
foot, altitudinous giant is just too much for the ordinary
size human being. So long as the stupid Rules Committee
permits a ten-foot basket, they will just invite such freekish
exhibitions as an ordinary size man trying to play these
Alpine Als,

I am hoping that you will soon. be out of the service
‘ and back at your old stomping ground.

Our boys expressed a fervent wish that you be
on the bench with us. ;

Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: NF Varsity Basketball Coach.
