I expect to write you a monthly letter, if possible, giving you the
names and addresses of the boys, and incidents concerning all the boys in
the service who have been connected with Kansas and her varsity athletics.
Of course I will miss some, but I do not want any of you boys to feel
slighted because it is so difficult to do a job that belongs to the
Alumni Secretary. But this is a peculiar pleasure of mine and that I am
indulging in to say hello to each and every one of you and wish iia
Godspeed and an early return.

The Athletic Office apparently will be closed for the duration.
Mr. Falkenstein, the financial secretary, will go to Mr. Klooz office
to work for the duration. Mrs. Webster will doubtless do some work on
the hill. Mrs. Hulteen will remain in our office, and we will endeavor to
carry on the best way possible.

We do not know whether we will have football next fall or not, but
the administration is planning on it. Regarding basketball, we will
have to wait until the trial horse, football, has its show. We will
treat it in the expectant manner. Practically all of our boys are in
the service, so teams will of necessity be made up from the younger
group, practically all freshmen.

From the beginning of the big league baseball it looks as if holiday
and Sunday games will be the only ones that will attract a crows, Even
our home folks are thinking about the grim and serious business of war,
and it looks as if all of the home folks are enlisting in this thing
wholeheartedly.

With all good and genuine wishes to you, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
