Now, I do not want to ory om your shoulder, John, but thig
Dutehman, Buescher, is the hardest fellow to drill anything into his
head that I have founds He has been smoking right along and the boys
have poured it on hime

I have had different conferences with him and the payoff came
when he was taken to the hospitale He had been there nearly a week and he
endeavored to get one of the players to bring him his plipee They would
not do it, so he got another fellow to promise
this got out to the team members and they very definitely wanted to

For a while Dean Nesmith satd he thought him just a farmer
boy who needed some good advice, but later he took. him a
Dutohman who would not listen to advides

On Sumday morning before he became ill, I took him down to
Dre Anderson and when I brought him back from the doctor I sat out in

I said, “John, your teachers in Physical Education tell me that you have
out their classes right alongs In other words, those classes where you
could be making Ats you will be lucky to get a decent grade, and besides
you have the resentment of those teachers because they know that you
could have attended the class but you were just too lazy to do so, and
you are fiunking in Physiologye Now should you get sick or

He replied, "Well, 1 don't know, Doc, I guess I just slept when I
should have been going to classe”

ce Now they tell me that he has definitely flunked in five hours
of Physiology and if he flumks in anything else he will be ineligible; and

he is low in Rhetoric, and in addition, having missed a week right at

the end I do not see how he is going to.make it,

I thought I would write you this, Johp, so you could sit dom
and give him "h e double q" if you have a mind to do so, When he ws a
freshman it seemed as if he wanted

There are some kids who appreciate what you do for them, but this
Dutchman seems to have no of appreciation or judgments I am about
three-fourths off of him and I am alnost of a mind that should he flunk
I would not care much because he has brought it on himself, He had a chance
to go someplace and be somebody, but it looks to me as if he is not much
