Dear Ted:

I haven't written you for quite some time but thought I would let
you know that we still very definitely hope when you are mstered
out and the G. I. Bill of Rights works in your behalf that you will
consider Mount Oread and the University of Kansas as a place where
you oan get a swell educetion and, IT hope, play on a basketball team
that will take second place to none,

You bet, the @. I. Bill of Rights will be the answer if you really —
want to come, and I want to tell you that we really want you. Yes,
sir, you will be eligible for basketbsl1l the first season. They will
not make any of these boys wait a year after they have fought for dear
old Uncle Sammy.

Our football team is really going to town and everybody is tremend-
ously enthused about it. E. C. “Ernie” Quigley, of national fame, is
our new Athletic Director, and he is really putting the sip into
things. |

I certainly am passing on your best wishes to the coaching staff
and they all want to be remembered to you. Col. MceMorris is especially
fond of you. I #ee him often and he thinks you are regular in every
Way e

Let ms hear from you occasionally, old fellow. I% is always a
pleasure. Best of luck, and keep that chin in its accustomed place.

Very cordially yours,

| Director of Physical Fducation,
 POA:AE : | Varsity Basketball Coach.
