Dear Price:

_  ¥ appreciate your very nice letter of December 14. 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.
With all good wishes, I am

Sinosrely yours,

‘Director of Physical Sducation,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
