Dear "Doc":

Our recent meeting in Lawrence was short, but to the point.
I'm very sorry we missed you at the game since I would have
liked to talk with you further. However, our time was very
limited and we had to hurry away afterwards so as to get
down here on schedule. Incidentally, we just made it. I
hope on the next trip thru we won't be rushed so for time.

I know you need no introduction to the officer-in-charge
of Athletics here. Lt. Cmdr. Barry, (Sam to you) who
tried so hard to beat: Kansas in Kansas City a few years
back, is the gentleman's name. I can still se "Rope"
grabbing that loose ball am getting set for what was a
| perfect shot. What an evening that was for Kansas and
\ what I wouldn't give to see another game just like that one.

Our games here, so for, heve been too one-sided. Our team
is a very good one and we have had a few games with some
Army fields around here. Our closest game was against a
team coached by Lt. Emmett Breen former Kansas State
athlete. We won that 48-40. ‘he others have been scores
such as 79-28; 64-34; 72-21 and 69-33. Naturally,

I still try to play, but no one plays very much since we
have about a 20 man squad. Then too, I'm for from being
in shape which doesn't help matters any for me.

Well "Doc", I hope you have a big year, and the next
rebound letter you send out include me in. I really en-
joy them and I hear there are a lot of Kansas men around
hére so no doubt we'll get worthy use of it.

Give my very best regards to your family, Mrs. Hulteen, and
all the gang around the gyn.

Sincerely,

Ifm exactly 165 miles
from Pfluegerville.
