Mr. Lovis E. Menze,
Basketball Coach,
Towa State Collere,
Ames, Iowa.

Dear Louie:

Congratulations on the reception of Price Rookfield
to your basketball squad. You will really make it tough
on the opposition with this fine player in your line-up.

f em sending you a clipping from the Lawrence Daily
Journal-World of last Saturday. I was afraid that there
might be some misinterpretation in what I said, so I am
mailing it to you personally. I want you to know that I
know of no one I wuld rather see win the Big Six than
Louie Menge. I think you would have won it anyhow without
the big boy, and now it becomes just a breeze or a canter,
not a race, but you have got it coming to you and I am happy
for you. |

The answer that I apoke of -- I still don't like the
California kike.

With all good wishes to you and yours, I am

Very sincerely,

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