Dear George:
- Twas mighty happy Gurt liked the ball. ‘You tell him that I om
counting on him for my varsity. More power to him, and to the

Nettels fanily.

Bob Schwangle came over to the auditoriwa yesterday while we were
practicing and we had a nice visit. fob is a fine boy. I was very
frenk with him regarding the tactios of fraternities in grabbing the
boys off the moment they drop out a week or so from their varsity
basketball practice. We had a good frank talk, and |
gets his physics back he is coming out.

Really, he is a fine basketball player and 1 imow he will do us a
lot of good. We have an ordinary team and Bob oan make a
bution. But of course he hasn't been out long enough to know the

plays and that will handicap him. But ho has lots of ability

With all good wishes to the entire Nettels family, I am

Sincerely youra,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
