We do not have the - eet up here at the present that will enable us to compete with the boys who have e freer conception of eligibility. ‘Therefore, dwing the war T will just worry along and play a very modest schedule. However, I am hoping after the war that the Big Six Conference will . have the same attitude as does the Missouri Valley. I agree wi that Kansas and Oklahoma A. & li. could pack them in if we had tition, but frankly, Henry, I know where ay bread is buttered haven't got the stuff to compete with your boys as your set up arranged.

Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: It was thoughtful of you to write after the meet and I appreciated it. Should have answered before now but the mail has been pretty heavy, especially from the former Aggies now in the service. They must have got a big kick out of the tournament. Gave them something to brag about to their eastern buddies, 1 guess. We were very fortunate, but none the less delight- ed to be able to bring the title home. The reception we got in Kansas City naturally was very pleasing to us and 1 would like to come in there next season. I believe Kansas and the Aggies could do a land-office business there next winter and hope you will consider it when setting up for next year. Mother certainly enjoyed talking with you in Kansas City. It was a great night for her. Sincerely, Ph H.P.
