Mr. Louis Eg. Menze,
Iowa State College,
Ames, Towa.

Dear Louie: \

Thanks a million, Louie, for your sincere words of
congratulation. You not only congratulate a fellow,
but you make im vain. But I know, Louie, that I an
not getting younger - I am getting older and older.

And the “teugher to beat” statement was only due to
the fact that you had a iot of sophomores who didn't
have enough experience. You certainly give me a whale
of a battle every time we meet at Anes.

tT *% imagine we will have mueh in the way of
competitive athletics next year but after the war is
over we will sure have a lot more fun.

With all good wishes to you and yours, T em

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. :
