Dear Friend Hudson:

Answering yow inquiry of the 9th instant, I beg to
state that the Modern Woodmen of America team was composed
of Cedric Dickinson, center, William "Punch" O'Brien,
manager, Harry Allen, forward, Alma White, guard, Lewis
Kraas, forward, Albert Barnhardt, guard, Bnil Helff, for-
ward, Lambert Dick, forward, Oliver Sheley, guard, Earl
Humphrey, forward, and John McClure, guard.

This team defeated the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, team
in a series of two ganes out d three in Independence, Mo.
Independence won the first game, 22 to 17, the second one
18 to 16, and the third contest was won by Fond du Lac 25
to 18. The games were played in the old Reardon Livery
Stable hall. Later Compton Brothers hed the place and I do
not know whether the building is now standing or not, but
it was on North Liberty Street.

This was before I played on the team at Independence,
Soe a ee
practically all of ow gemes. And later I was player and

er of the Kansas City Athletic Club team when we defeated

Germans, of Buffalo, New York, for the so-called
movdd wacsstautiie te tunnel Gx tx ace, 1905. The
Buffalo Germans won the first game, 40 to 36; we won the
en a ee
game as the first two games had worked out very unsatisfsctor-
ily with each team having one of the officials in the gane.

If there is anything further that I can give you I will
be happy to do so.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
