Dear Doc:

I have your letter of January 6. I want to drop you
a note this morning before the: memory of last nights ©
game is too far removed from my memory. As I watched
you out there on the bench, fellow, the thought occur-
red to me — when will that boy ever relax? I looked
over on the other bench at George Edwards, sitting
there as complacent as a summer breeze. Then I looked
back over there at you chewing your gum for ail you
were worth, taking a swig of water about every three
seconds. That is the reason you win, Doc, you have
your whole heart and soul in that ball game from the
time the first whistle blows until the final score:

is posted.

That intense interest is reflected too in the ball
club which you have this year. I believe it is the
finest basketball aggregation that you have ever
coached. For 10 minutes last night they looked like
just an ordinary bunch of boys. Then something hap-
pned,.there was an explosion that could be heard all
around that auditorium, from then on, except for brief
moments, they were champions everyone.

om your shirtless golfing to your superb coaching,
ansas has gained much. You don't look a day older than
you did 10 years ago and your enthusiasm seems to in-
crease with time. There must be something about that
old tradition - "agef in the woods."

Sincerely your friend

des have built in Kansas, Doc, a remarkable tradition,
