Dear Phog: Jack writes me that he may be in Lawrence the night of the 17th when the CRTC team from Fort Riley plays Kansas, provided he is not transferred someplace before that time. The family would like to see the game and I would appreciate it if you would have 4 tickets put aside for me. I'll either send you a check if you'll let me know the amount or I can pay for them when I pick them up that night. Whichever way you would prefer that I take care of it. I see by the paper where KU made a good start last night. Keep up the good work. I've really enjoyed myself around here since KU defeated Missouri in football.

I would be delighted to have you here, I have heard a lot about you, of ‘oourse, and I am eure that you will justify every prediction as to your outstanding basketball play. Z am not sure that there is anything that I can do to help your being sent to Kansas, but if there is anything that I could do without the service misunderstanding my activities I would be only too happy to do it. Ian’t it true thet the top helf of the graduates get a chance of going where they desire? I understand that is true here - that the top half of the class gets a choice of going out of here when they go to pre-fligh{, I am not sure that they have the option as te where they go. . : Wouldn't it be consistent for you to go to your commanding officer if you are in the top half, or even if you are not, and ask him for consideration in your being sent to Kangas U. as many of these places you go do not have baskethbali. And since that is your chief sport I am sure that they will give you what consider- ation they can. All officers that I have met are men who try to take into consideration the welfare and happiness of the men under them. Wothing would delight me more then to have you with us, and I am hoping that you will have an opportumity to come our way. I assure you that you would be most happily and cordially received.
