Cur football team looks much better. I did not see you in
the stands but our boys played splendidly. However, I want to say that
I thought the Aggies were the worst sandlot ball club that 7 had seen in
a long time in their absolute failure to incorporate football fundamentals.
They not only looked green but untutored. However, I would not want to
be quoted on that because of the fact that I would not want Mr. Haylett
think that he was getting some uwmeeded publicity. |

I will write you more regarding the cadets’ misapprehension.
I believe they are getting every consideration, but I am gind to know that
you realize some of the complaints of sometimes disgruntled players.

‘I certainly will keep definitely in mind the look-out that
you have for superior or high school graduates in the 17-year-old class and
the age range from 18 to 26.

Thanks for the information, and with kindest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,
