Big Six championship egain. I know you will smile and say, “That oy -
when he came through Detroit knew he had a hot team.” But, Charlie, I
am telling you frankly, I didn't expect to win a single eastern trip
game because the boys were fighting among themselves. You doubtless
remember the Frosty Gox-Rub Thompson-T. CG. Bishop triangle. Well, this
outfit was just like it. Frosty and Rub couldn't get along at all, nor

and John Buescher did not like Schnellbacher and Dixon. ‘They thought
Paul Turner and another boy should be in the linc-up. They thought the
"old mn" didn't know the right boys to pick end they were going to heip

we had started on our eastern trip.

You know we lost to Creighton on Decenber 15, and
on December 5 we lost to Jack Gardner’s Olathe Naval Base. The boys
simply did not play with each other. So I had plenty om my hands. And
then on February 8 Charlie Black took i111 with pneumonia and he pleysd
but three conference games with us. Trying to break in some new faces
at that late date did make it tough, but we were lucky enough to finish
with a team that made a phenomenal record, considering everything.

| I am telling you all of this because you mention
that I + apes vether lightly about what we expected of the team, and I
