Dear Doe:

I do hope you will overlook my delay in writing
you. I intended writing sooner but several things came —
up and it was impossible to do so.

Enclosed you will find a money order for $ 40.00
which I think will take eare of my debt to you. At least
ag far as money matters are concerned. If this isn't right
let me know and I will fix it right up. I really appreciate
this favor a lot and if I can ever do anything to help you
in any way feel free to let me know of it.

How are things shaping up this year for you? What ee
are the prospects for another championship basket team? I will
be following the progress of the team throughout the season and
I hope you rock em and sock em. ie .

{hat must have been quite a victory for K. U. over
Oklahoma. I sure wag glad to hear of it. I saw where &blings'
brother played an important part in the victory. He should make
you a pretty good man shouldn't he? .

I am enjoying this year in the valley moreso than I
did last year. ‘they really do play a good brand of high school
football down here. We have a nice team this year and expect
them to go pretty far. We really could stand more experience
at tackle; but we have a couple of good, big husky boys and they
are beginning to learn what it is all about.

I am going to start basket ball in about two weeks.
I will have a little more to start with this year than I did
last year. I have five lettermen back as compared to one last
year. We went to the state meet last season; but it will be a
long hard road to get that far this time. I will have a starting
team that will average around 6' or 6'1"“. But the kids down here
are so inexperienced and require a lot of work on. I plan on
staying here over Christmas vacation and practice every day. My
folks are coming down again this winter to spend the holidays with
me. |
