Mr. Bijl Huggins,

Coffeyville, Kansas.

Dear Bill:

 

I have been in Iewa and over at Topeka at coaching = °
I want you to know that I was happy to imew you enjoy the Rebounds.

T am glad to knew that Teady is in England and is getting
along splendidly; otherwise you would have told me.

Kansas prespects are for a fair team, but I de net think we
will win the Big Six because our staff are spending most of their
energies on doing things trying, to win the war, rather than te have a
Big Six championship in wartime. Of course the boys and the coaches
will do as well as they possibly can, but they are not eut over the
country hunting athletes when we are needing fighters and fighter-
helpers first.

Thank you fer sending the stamps for the Rebounds. We will
keep them coming to you as wo write them. I am now getting ready to
work on Number 11. It will have all the football depe there regarding
the team. In this way you should be able te follow the team a little
more intimately rather than in reading the papers. Ceaches Shenk and
Schaake and Dean Nesmith, trainer, are developing a fighting team and
will get the most out of them according to their abilities.

Please give your dad and mother my kindest regards, and when

you write Toady tell him we are all pulling for him. With all good
_ Wishes, and trusting that you are feeling some better, I am

Very sincerely yours,

; Director of Physical Education,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
