Dear Billy:

I want you to lnew how very uuch I enjoyed ny
visit with you and Julia in your lovely home last Tuesday —
evening.

- I am sending you a copy of the speech I made at Cape

_ Girardeau in which I analyzed the football situation fron

ite monetary and somewhat ugly side. Of course you know -
that I believe in intereollegiate ethletios, but not in the
way they are going “big time", because in that way it is no
indication of « man's coughing ability. It is an indication
of his ability to assemble high-powered talent by subsidies .
and of course the boy does not get an edusation in «= major~
ity of these cases. He is a badly disillusioned boy when

he gets out of college, thinking somebody gypped hin, be-

cause he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.

With all good wishes, I an

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Rducation,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
