the séales at 170 pounds. He is a driver from the word "go" and
his biggest weakness is on the defense, but I attribute that to
the fact that the coach here last year used a stridly zone
defense and now that the man-to-man is used , he sometimes forgets
his obligations on the defense. He is sound fundamentally, how-
ever and that could be corrected adequately in a few lessons in
Hoch or Robinson gymnasia. Mullin's family are farmers and he

has been approached by Kansas State, but he definitely has not
made up his mind.

The best prospectg out in this country is this boy
from Hoisington, Richard Harman. He stands about 6'4" and weighs
in the neighborhood of 195. He is a straight "A" student and &
honey of a competitor. He has a fine family and the father is
an oil man although I don't know him. This week Great Bend defeated
Hoisington by two points and this Harman boy was having himself
a good night. He acted as if no one had any right to the rebounds
except himself and by scoring nine points in the last quarter, he
personally kept Hoisington in the ball game up to the gun. He get
twenty points during the game and that is about his average for
the season. Don't misunderstand me--I don't think that he could
come to Lawrence and step into a starting bérth, but he is head
and shoulders the best potential prospect out in these parts. TI would
certainly like to see him in your capable hands for his future
basketball career’

T was glad to hear that Johnny Pfitseh has a spot
for next year. T am sure that he will do Midland College a lot
of good. Please convey my regards to him if you see him. Also j
"hello" to Yeam Nesmith and Mr. Quigley. I have no plans for
the immediate future other than to write my thesis for that |
master's on Mount Oread early this summer. The rest of the vacation
I hope to get my golf game back to its pre-war standard. I am :
looking into a few jobs and I hope I am not taking too much for
granted by using your good name as e reference.

With best wishes to you and the ball club as well
as to Mrs. Allen and to Mit and Bob when you write, I am,

Appreciatively yours,
