we lost to Missouri, 5 to 0. We played nice ball but had no offense and Missouri had

a crack pitcher. ‘he game was played in one hour and thirty five minutes, so you know
it was a good ballgame. We're playing Missouri again today and I'm hoping it will not
be another track meet. :

It will take two or three years to build the way things are, but frankly,
John, I do like baseball because it gets me out of the office. But I have talked too
long about this sport and now just a word--back to our original premise. Yes, George
Nettles told me that he had a swell time with you at the Rose Bowl’ Game. He got a
"terrific bang" out of it. Aren't you coming back for Commencement? We heard that
you were. I would eertainly enjoy a long visit with you, and I would surely like to
see how you have improved with those irons.

The Couritry Club course was never in better shape than it is now, and, in
addition to my other duties, they have named me chairman of the tournament committee
of the Country Club. This June we are having the “ansas Amateur Championship there so
it would be good to play a few games with you. In addition to our Missouri game this
afternoon, I meet my spring basketball boys for practice at 7:00 o'clock, and we have
a Country Club dinner at the same tine, which, of course I will miss.

We have matched the two teams, and last Saturday morning, I played Guy Smith
and was lucky enough to lick him so I have a free dinner coming tonight out there

and just to think having a free dinner and not being able to eat it.

I'm only meeting my basketball boys for a spring practice nine nights-three

weeks; three nights, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So, 111] have to "stick to my
knitting". |

Can't you promote the sale of some. of your Government Bonds and bring Bonnie
along for the 75th Anniversary Celebration?

With lots of luck and best wishes. * an,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and -
Recreation Varsity Basketball and
Baseball Coach.
