Portis, Kansas

Dear Mr. Kissell:

I have before me your letter of Warch 12. I
appreciate very much your interest in Kansas basketball @
in our team this year. Thanks so very much for your congratu-
lations over our Big Six Championship. We @re very proud of |
the boys, even though we didn't suceced in @owning the Aggies,
as we intended,

It will be very interesting to hear your comments
on the basketball players who are not at Portis High, It is —
always interesting to know of any boys who may come to Kansas ,
University, partisularly those who might play basketball. Any
information which you might send I can —. be justly
handled.

Your comment as to the monotony of basketball as
they are playing it under the existing rules is a very interesting
one to me. Probably you do not know that I am now advocating a change
in just that ~ule. I shall be anticipating a geod diseussion on”
this point when we may meet again.

It is certainly fine to hear fren you's any time and
I wanted to acknowledge your letter and tell you how much we
appreciate your interest. Give my best regards to the family
and please send my regards to Max when you write again. .

.Sineerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
