Dear Doc:

Since our last exchange, I had a luncheon date with Hank
Iba and Bus em and believe you me we had a long, hard
round. We fought this thing out about as vigorously as
you and Hank do on the basketball court.

After the luncheon, I wouldn't have given a dime for the
chances for our game. He was pretty stubborn and set on his
terms. He did suggest that Bus and I join him over the
weekend on a floating trip down the Illinois River where the
matter where the matter would be finally settled.

I didn't get to join the party, but I understand the boys
had a grand time and caught a lot of fish. His parting
sentence to Bus was, "Teil Cob I am going ahead end play
Doc the way he wants me to." He was reasonably certain
all along that you two could get together at the Coaching
Sehool which you have together in August.

The boy really wants to play you, but he is a little
spoiled by the Missouri Valley League. He writes his own
ticket with them and expects to do so in every tournament.

I certainly think this is a series of games that should be
continued. Hank says that he would like to play you every)
Saturday night if his health permitted, but he sdmits that
it would be pretty roughi.

after all the argument that Doc and 1 have hac
eries of games, these kids witt really have at«
it when they get together on the court

next winter.
