Dear Johns

Buffalo, arriving at West Point on the 26th of Decembere We will spend
the day there and go on to New York in time to see the Illinois-lmnhattan
game which is played in the Garden that night. We will put on a wem-up
exhibit between halves. : .

Your fellow-townsman, John Buescher, will be one of the
boys going to the Gardens

Now, John, I want to tell you a rather surprising
incidente The Saturday Evening Post people dropped in todey and showed
me an article on basketball that is to appear on the news stands Christmas
dey. it is an article on Kansas basketball, and was I surprised when
the Post ran as a feature a picture of you holding the towels on Bobby's
heade

I have not read the article yet. They had but one copy,
and when they showed me the Post, low and behold there was John Glenn as
bigas lifee I thought I would write you and apprise you of this incidente
The photographers were out here last April and shot some pictures, but they
did not tell me what they were ruming or what they were writings But I
want you to know that the old maestro from Beardstown is right in theres
You must have your publicity man get one of them and tell him that you
were the guy that “brought back” the fellow with a cold towel.

Give my kindest regards to your mother and remember that
you are still our trainer,

_ With all good wishes to the Kuhls and our other friends
in Beardstown, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Reereation
