Dear Phog,

It has been sometime now since I have been at Kansas, at least
it seems like allong time, and in reality has been but seven
months, Since then many things have happened, far to numerous to
write about here. Perhaps the most interesting to you would be the
fact that I am now enérolled here at Ohio University, which in-
cidentally has a pretty fair basketballiteam now and then, if you
will remember last year's Madison Square Garden Invitation tournament,
My degision to transfer here was due to various reasons, However my
heart is not here with me, it stayed in Kansas. On the other hand
T am making grades here that I never made at Kansas, much higher,
and I am learning a great deal more. This is no reflection on the
school, it is merely that here I do not have the outside interests,
nor the various worries that were always with me out there,

The main reason that I am writing to you is to ask of you a favor,
naturally, (what other reason do people have for writing?) and that
favor is small. Next spring I intend to go out for spring football
here, more for the exercise than for any prospect of making the team,
Now I want to get into some kind of shape before I undertake this, as
I have run down quite a bit since starting to school. I was wondering
if you could possibly, in your spare moments, which I realize are few,
jot down a system by which I could round myself into some kind of
shape. I have full use of the gym, although I am not taking any
physical education work, and all the equipment, so that I could follow

about any proceedure that you might outline. I would certainly

appreciate it.
