Dear Phog;

Head meant tw write you sooner expressing my appreciation and
that of the boys for your courtesy in giving the flyers a game. they
really enjoyed it and appreciated, whe ir onby regret was that they
were unable to give you a better game. They lost two good men the
week of the game aijd Johnny MeKee, who captained the team againat
you, left the next wonday far officer's training camp. It looks as
if they would lose Rentz, Douglas and ward this week as their crews
are about ready to take off for someplace, east or west.

they can use the money and I think it has been spent already
for a loud speaker system fcr the reereation hall. whey ere just
getting their special services disision set up but will have a full
program and a welfare fund ches. te: They have a nice bunch of
boys and i have been enjoying my contacts with them.

They Plan to play baseball and football but of course there is
no telling at this distance just what they will het if you are
running baseball again this spring they would appreciate a chance to
Play you. they should have a pretty fair ball élub jit too many of the
men they are cutee on arentt shipped out and there are some pretty
fair football players among the permanent personnel. Tell Gwynn Henry
that if he has iceebic filling his schedule he can get a game here.

SAre they planning on holding the relays this spring?’

Sincerely

Arthur F,Hughes
