Dear Jim:

I am sending you a Jayhawk Rebounds with my best wishes. I am
happy that you like your detail. They are a good bunch of fellows
and I know that you are enjoying every bit of it.

Congratulations to Halstead and her championship team. That
makes three suocessive championships for your home tow and you
have every reason to feel justly proud. Mr. Weolcott called me
end arranged for Mre E. 0. Quigley to deliver the basketball ban-
quet speech on the 16th of April. I kmow thet they will be delighted
with him because he makes a very stirring and enthusiastic address.

T em planning te go through Nalstead to see Harold Pngland and
some of the other boys, and to talk to Harold's mother. I am not
sure just when this will be, but I expect to see him in the next
couple of weeks.

I saw the semi-finals of the high school AA playoff on Thursday
evening, but had to speak in Manhattan on Friday, and attended the
NCAA finals in Kansas City on Saturday. Therefore, I did not get
‘to see Halstead sromed. Ernie —. was there and he made good
use of his presence.

I am glad that you have chosen basketball, and I hope that when
you come back from the service you will have gained some age, weight
and more experience, and will be one of the candidates for my varsity.
It would be a great pleasure to have youe I got a fine letter from
your father and I am expesting to answer him in a day or so, but T
wanted to answer your letter immediately so you could peruse the Re-
beunds. Sob Malott's address is ~- Company 1645, Sec. 1, Room 174,

NCAA in Kansas City last Saturday night. He was just off fer Satur-
day night and Sunday, but he was enjoying himself as usual. Bob is
