‘umtil you get the job dones

We are pleying a football game here with Colorado State on Thursday,
the 28th, which is the Republican Thanksgiving, but tonight the Varsity are
playing the All-Stars at 7245. The All-Star team is composed of the ever=
victorious team of 1936 sans Fred Pralle, but they will add Don Fbli end
Bruce Vorane It should be quite an outfit for the Varsity to playe Noble,
Paul Rogers, Ray Sbling, Francis Keppelman and Gordon Gray, o member of the
1935 team who is ee Oe will mke a star-studded team with

plenty of power.

fio 'ss22 tart Suni Meigleunn: olid SNS tahoe at tenmaid, Ol Olin
at quarterback and center and Bob Allen and Jom Kline at guarde John Bussbher
is eligible for Varsity games but he does not have a © average, so there are
three boys we are holding oute dohn could kelp us tonight but I prefer
the emphasis upon studies so we will not pley hime There are two other
_ goed bosy that we will not play but whon wo play Teme on the 9th and 10th of
December we should have all the boys eligibles We are playing the freshmen
here on December 6 and that will be quite a struggles |

I will give the boys your kindest regards and although I kmow that
you may wish for them to be up in the runing, I am afraid that this year w
aré going to be noticeably weak regarding heft and power. We will be good ba
handlers but we have too much rough opposition to hope that we will climb the
ladder as high or successfully as we did last year, Many breaks
luck plus an unconquerable courage got the boys as far as they went last year.
I do not believe that we have that same ability this year but we will be in
there struggling and we thank you for your good wishese ; Sune

We cortainly want to see you at Columbia or Ames this year and we
are hoping that somehow you will find it possible eee
