Dear Kirk:

‘Thanks so-much for your congratulatory remarks
on our all victorious conference basketball season. We
are disappointed in lossing to the Aggies in the Fifth
District Play-Off as you can well oe However, we
have no excuses.

& ;

I think, as you know, that sevenefoot center:

do not belong in the game that we know as basketball.

It will certainly be a relief to play the Oklahoma Aggies

next year when they | have to do without the services of
Kurland,

I was sorry to hear that you had lost your gold
basketball and rather than have you go to the trouble of
_ having it replaced, I am going to order one for you to
be made with the new basketballs that we are getting for
this year's team. This will be quicker and easier. Rest
assured that I will have the new basketball mailed to you
when it is finished.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: VF : _ Varsity Basketball Coach.
