Dear Jacks
Your letter of December 10 has been on my desk for ;
a considerable length of time. Having been here through basketball
season in previous years, you fully realize what consternation and ©
confusion flows through my office during those precious months of
a basketball season, Now that we have tucked away the Big Six Champ=
ionship and lost in our attempt to win the N.GsAsA. to the Oklahoma
Aggies, we are ina period of catching our breath and reorganizing
ourselves.

. It was certainly swell of you to write such a nice
letter. I particularly enjoyed your comments upon the Canada women
gituation, Your reaction to being away from home seems to fair
favorably with that of the thousands of others who pave spent time
in the werrine om the wars

: You have not received a copy of the Rebounds for
several months because we just have not had the time to put them
out. I am sorry that this situation has had to be this way ‘but
it could not be _——

I am looking forward to seeing you back next ; falls
We are anticipating a pretty good year acein, as most of our boys
will be returning, plus many veterans such as yourself,

Sincerely yours,
