Six Conference personally and I desire a report from someone who knows
he. whys and wherefores of the sport of the court.

Therefore I wish you would write me a detailed report of. your
Jayhawkxers and of the other five conference schools. I'm backing
the Allen-coached athletes to repeat as champions because of their

I would appreciate all the dope you can give me as quickly as
possible. Engleman and your own son will be hard to replace. Did

Cornhusker fray in Weick Howard tallied 24 points as did the Lincoln
