Dear Everett:

I am very happy to have your letter of the 27th ultimoe I feel compli-
mented that ® newspaper man would take time off from pounding the typewriter
and from maling his rounds so that he would have time to write me such a

We are leaving for Columbia, Missouri, this afternoon, so I am hurrying to
get this letter to you so that it will serve you any good purpose that it
mighte I amafraid that we started too late. Ralph Miller recieved a very
severe football injury to his Imee in the Iowa. State game early in season,
and then the coach put him in the Nebrasim game bef’ ,
ed, and it put him on the sideline for the rest : : .
most of the basketball season. We have been very slow in finding ourselves .-
because we had counted on Miller as the key mane So i
that, I am glad for it to go that ways |

I em not good at writing politic letters, Everett, so I will tell you exactly
what I kmow. Yes, Kansas and the other groups are supposed to be in
the N,C.A.A. tournament. However, I do not know how things will work out. If
we beat Missouri we will be tied with the Big Six lead if Oklahom beats Nebr
asia and Kansas State this coming Saturday and Monday nights. Both teams are
in the lower bracke® so far as victories go in the Big Six. If Missouri wins
then they will win the Big Six and it is still up to Oklahoma to tie theme

Miller is not nearly himself as yetg I would say only abou§ 59% efficient,
So you see we are not a aggregation as things gos ;

Now, I am glad to tell you re ng the teams that you inquire about.
On December Srd we played a clinic‘ game here with Central Missouri State Teachers
College of Warrensburg, end won by a score of 25-20. We did not have a very well
organized team, but hought Warrensburg showed some possibilities. You know
they won the Oklahom City tournament later, with the Oklahoma Aggies in the
tournamente I imagine that you have all of the Oklahoma As & Me scores, showing
that they are out in front in the Missouri Valley Conference, but at Oklahoma
they lest to Baylor and some other team. ,

played Oklahoma As & Me at Stillwater to dedicate their new fieldhouse on
Decenber 9 and 10+ We lost both games, 25 to 19 and 21 to 15. The Oklahom
Aggies played here on February 8th, and we won that game. I am enclosing a
schedule of our games for the season, up to the present time, with the scores.
