Dear Fog:

It was a surprise and a delight to receive your letter
of November 235.

Yes, it is true that Ed Hickox is going to retire, though
I do not think he is very keen about it and I am sure that he
is going to try to keep on coaching basketball during the season
as much as possible for some time. His place here at the college
will, I think, be taken by Maxwell who came in to help in con-
nection with our physical work in the fall of 1937. He seems to
be working in nicely, and is a very nice fellow. He is a
Springfield graduate and worked in the high schools in the state
of Massachusetts, I think, for sometime before coming here.
During that time he built up quite a reputation as a football
and a basketball coach.

Paul Stagg, the son of Alonzo, is doing a fine work here,
His first season was rather disastrous but this year he came
through very nicely.

Affleck is retiring this June, I believe. Goodness knows
what he is going to do, but he has reached the age of 65 which,
according to our new administration, is just too bad.

Thanks for the congratulations. I liked that card very
much and am, of course, keenly interested in the Far East situa~
tion. Thanks for your basketball schedule and luck to you. It
looks like a humdinger. With very best wishes to yourself and
to your family.

Sincerely yours,
