when he was hore with the army A.S.T.P. He wrote me on the 20th of dune from Austria,
that he was still receiving our. Rebounds and that ho was glad of-it. He says, "I'vo
lost most all contact with the basketball world heFe in Austria, and your paper serves

as a good intermediary. I was particularly interested:in your story about the all big
six center, Johnson." ; é ;

"I'm sitting down here near Kufstein, Austria now with the 42nd Division
and I guress we will occupy this oountry until they set up their own government. I
get to shoot a few baskets now and then on an outside court,-but how I do miss that
sport! I can't wait to get back to the states and to school. I hope I'm lucky
onough to play three more years of ball under you. I had a great time while I was
in Kansas and I hope to return thoro. Bost of luck to. you and ‘your-ball clubs."
