Mr. Ralph Miller,
_ Aero Parts Menufacturing Co.,
Wichita, Kansas.

Dear Ralph:

T am thanking you for your very good letter of the 2lst ultimo
in which you gave me the scouting notes on St. Joseph. Your letter
came in very good time because Irs. Hulteen sent it on to me at
Buffalo. I used your scouting notes, knowing that all the Eastern
teams played cqually alike. I said to the boys, “We will now read
the dope on St. Bonaventure's and thon we will read it on Fordham
and then we will read it on St. Joseph’s, because what Ralph says
about St. Joseph's will be equally true for the other teams." And
it worked out that way.

Bobby came on to New York to see the Fordham game, but he
did not get to Buffalo. ‘lowever, wre were rejuvenated in our St.
Bonaventure’s game and we carried on. St. Louis was very similar
to the other teams, so the boys soon got on to the style of attack
end defense, and we moved along in good shape. | |

Monday night we rode over ir. Jack Gardner in rather an un-
ceremonious fashion. I don't believe he liked it any toowll, but
we had to cet even for that Kansas City debacle. We are going along
pretty weil now and we thank you for all the time and the trouble
that it. took you to get these fine scouting notes together.

Qur kindest and best regards to you and Jean. Here's wishing
you end yours lots of happiness and success in the new year, 1943. |

Fraternally,

Director of Physical Education,
