Dear Bunks

Mighty happy to have your letter as of December
27th. As Mrs. Hultem told you, we returned from a successful
eastern trip with the boys in good shape for school and basket-
ball. Last night we gave the Olathe "Clippers" a good buggy-ridem
whipping Hahn and the other Kansas City boys in a rather handy
fashion, 60 to 32.

I know that you would have enjoyed this dog fight
because it was all of that. ‘The game had the crow balmy a good

part of the time, as we had flying mres and flyfing tackles. May-
be the boys teach this rugged stuff in the Navy, because they
certainly put it on in good style, but the Kansas boys were not
far behind when the fireworks started.

I would like to write you a longer letter but
being so far behind in my work I feel that I had better do a
good job of writing you this recommendation, and at the first
opportunity I will tell you more about the happenings here on
Mount Oread. Stay in there and fight ‘en, ee
one hundred per cent.

While I was in the Enst I had a nice visit with
Bobby and he is very happy with his medical work at the University
of Pennsylvania. Mit sat on the bench last night with me and
seemed very happy at the Kansas team's showing. He graduated here
in August and is assistant investigator to the chief with Hercules
at the Sunflower Ordnance Works. He still talks of the Marines,
and he may get it. He has not yet gotten all the fight out of his
system. :

With every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
