Dear Larry:

I was interested in your letter giving mo the names of
boys that you have been with, and something of your present
activities. I am glad that you were able to listen in on most of
the football games in spite of having lest the States tro months
&Z060

Gur basketball boys are terribly young. ie have two
just turning 17 - Dean Corder and Bob Malott - who were just young-
sters when you were in school, but are now getting ready to take
their full responsibility in war hazards. We are playing service
teams and they are moh older thenour boys, but all of the boys are
giving a good accoumt of themselves.

My next Jayhawk Rebounds will take sare of the basketball
nemes and schedule. i will try to inelude a greeting to you in our
next Rebounds. I am just rushing over for a faculty meeting so will
have to cut this shorter than I would want to for one of my old
varsity baseball players. I remember the very pleasant times that
we had and T am hoping for a reunion some time scon.

With every good wish until we see you here again in the
States, I am

Very sincerely yours,

, Direetor of Physical Biucation,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
