Campus.

Dear "Phog":

I greatly appreciated your note of December 16.
It was just another demonstration of your generous thoughtfulness.
As a matter of fact, I felt that I owed you and the members of the
basketball team an expression of thanks for the delightful time that
I had in making the trip with you to Dodge City. It was so thorough-
ly enjoyable that it was really a vacation trip for me.

I also appreciated the last paragraph of your let-
ter, although I was inclined to reply immediately that my aggressive
foot seemed to have put just about the necessary weight on the accel-
erator to insure that we reached Lawrence in time for your basketball
rehearsal at three o'clock that afternoon. On the other hand, I dis=
covered a day or two later that I had worn a hole through the sole of
my right shoe while the left sole was perfectly intact. So I decided
that there might be some justification for your warning. In any case,
I discovered that a certain big black Buick was close behind me all
the way, except when it was setting the pace out in front.

Cordially yours
Wool. haer~,

Director.

P.S. I had hoped very much that I would have an
opportunity to see the boys perform in their first conference game
this winter. But I am leaving today for a four-day conference in
Memphis so will not have an opportunity to see the team in action un-
til the 24th. But I am hoping to be in Lawrence on that day.

But even - h I am not present in the auditorium,
I shall be rooting for you an Ae on. And I am confident that the

first game will result in a victory for our boys, regardless of whether
or not Tucker is in the 0.U. line-up.
