Dear Doc:

I was very happy to have yours of the 27th. with re-
ference to the basketball situation.

My Boy, you need have no worries over eny idea I might have
about the basketball team - whatever you do is OK by me. If
you want to schedule 24 gemes end can get away with it, it suits
me fine. ‘So long as you can stay out of trouble with other
jealous competitors I can certainly see no objections and even
if you get into trovble I shall certainly try to help you out.

As you well know, the basketball situation at the
University of Kansas has been a constructive force and will
continue to be so long as you head it. For this and many
other reasons you have my unqualified support and should
you happen to need it in the Athletic Board, you may count
on me as being 105% behind your plans and activities.

Best regards to you and the family and hoping to see you
before the season is over, I am

Most Cordially,

GEN: OM Pa pon Qs HAM - ey ow fare 200
